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...

Grant meets Atlanta Luke

Luke and his parents (Ben & Kristina--Stacey's roommate in college) came from Atlanta for a visit. First the daddy's introduced the boys...

Then the mommy's introduced the boys (Grant is working on his offensive hand gestures.)


Grant's hoping for a hug...

Would you believe Luke is 2 weeks younger than Grant?

Saturday's photo shoot

China was playing with his new camera, so we have about a thousand great pictures, but here are a few of our favorites...

First tooth!

If you look close and use your imagination, you might be able to see it. We'll post a better picture when we get one, but we wanted to put something up to honor the event (& its resulting lack of sleep for all)
