For the past few weeks Nick has been extremely busy with work and doing a lot of work from home, so Grant and I really tried to take advantage of his breaks (and the time we got to spend with him) by doing some fun fall activities. Grant experienced his first parade at the Overland Park's Fall Fest. He loved seeing all the cars, trucks, and motorcycles go by but I think had more interest watching the kids all around him chase after candy.
Then the next weekend we headed to the historic town of Weston for their Applefest. We spent most of our time at the Big Red Barn Farm and spent most of our afternoon picking pumpkins, getting a horse drawn hayrack ride, and just enjoying the fresh air and being out of the city.
Then as of last week, Grant has finally become a crawler! He has been so close for the past couple of months and Nick and I were starting to think he might just skip the crawling and go straight to walking. What started out as a slow trek across our 5x8 rug has turned into our little guy getting into every drawer, cupboard, and shelf he can get his hands on. Before I can pick up the last area he has terrorized, he is into the next. Actually it's been pretty fun to watch him go everywhere and now that he's mobile he is content to play for hours just moving from one thing to the next. He's also loving crawling all over his little car. He pulls himself up on it, loves opening and closing the hood, and putting his smaller toys in it.
Grant's also moved onto eating about every food we're eating. We've found he loves about anything but especially waffles, french toast, foods with noodles, kiwi, and of course cheerios! He's also learning to master his sippy cup and has definately mastered dropping everything he can on the floor. Nick and I have decided we need a dog. :)
