Fun Rides!

Grady had a great time riding on the rides at the outlets! (Tyler wasn't so sure.)

Mountain Weekend

Grady had a great time up in the mountains. He went on his first kayak trip- a little nervous the first time, but then he got used to it.

Nana and Pop took Grady apple picking. He loves apples!

They also came to watch us go down Bull Sluice- the Class IV rapid- on our rafting trip with friends

But Grady REALLY liked the cat's scratching toy- especially the soft feather.

Child's Day Out

Today was Grady's first day at Child's Day Out at the nearby Baptist church. He has 4 others in his class, 3 of whom are his buddies from church. They have 2 teachers amongst them that keep them busy. Here is what they did today, and Grady's first piece of artwork (Notice the blue line he made.).

It Was Just Too Quiet In the Pantry

It looks like Grady found the bag of Grandmoma's cookies! A cookie in each hand!

First Dentist Visit!

While "they" (probably just dentists) say you need to take your baby to the dentist when he first gets teeth or at his first birthday, I wasn't convinced, but since the dental appointment was free and Grady has some stains on his teeth, I thought I'd take him. It went very well at first- there was lots to play with, TVs on the ceiling and yummy toothpaste. However, Grady didn't much like getting buffed or scraped. I cut that short when he got upset. He left happy, however, with a sticker and toy in hand.

Mama's Helper

Gray gave me lots of fresh pears, so I decided to bake a Sour Cream Pear Pie (Yes! I baked!). Grady did what he could to create an obstacle course for me at the same time.

And here is the finished product.

Favorites

Grady has some favorite snacks he is used to. I put him down for 2 seconds at CVS, and when I turned around, he had a canister of Puffs and a bag of Yogurt Drops in his hands. (I have no idea where he got the Yogurt Drops from- there was not a display of them!)
