Nine months!

Grant's Grands

Happy Holidays!

MiGi & Papaw joined us for the holidays

Books or Computers?

Merry Christmas!!

Next year we'll have to do a better job of getting pictures of all of the family, but we spent a lovely Christmas day (with a hint of snow) at Aunt Lauren's. Posing below with Aunt Hat, Ceci & Isabelle.
Grant's modeling some of cousin Isabelle's new gear. She's training him young.

Christmas Cut!

Richardson Family Tradition: Aunt Hat does the first haircut. Grant was sad to part with his side curl...

Didn't mind the middle so much...

And sad when it was over...but looking sharp! Thanks Hat!

Christmas Eve

We had to put the tree somewhere Grant couldn't reach it...

Grant meets Charlotte B.

Grant loves him some Charlottes!

Enjoy the view

Grant's favorite activity is climbing the stairs, so we get this view A LOT.

Grant's wasn't a fan of his first snow

Grant can't wait for bathtime!

Four teeth, gotta brush 'em

Maybe next year...

We took Grant, Curtis & Luke to meet Santa. Curtis had a great time, but Grant and Luke were not really feeling the holiday spirit. Still made for a cute pic though!!

Eight Months!!

No longer willing to pose for pictures on the teddy bear quilt...

Who's your Daddy?

Kyle is holding a picture of himself when he was a baby. Look familiar?

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Two more states down: KY & TN

For Kyle's 30th, we went to Kentucky to visit family and check out the Bourbon Trail. Grant was ready to take a dip in the whiskey vat at Maker's Mark...

Nap time

A look at what happens when you learn to sit up without learning how to un-sit...

Where ya going, Grant?

And now we understand why so many baby items use a 5-point harness instead of a 3-point harness.

Six Months!

The time has flown by!

Grant meets his half-birthday avocado

Looks gross...

...but tastes goooood.

The Day the Music Died

While we were in Iowa, Uncle Steve thought it was an important part of Grant's cultural education to take him to the memorial at the site where Buddy Holly's plane crashed.

The glasses are the trail marker...

And two hundred yards of hiking into the field, we got to the memorial...
