3 years and 6 months!

On January 23rd, Grant turned 3 and Hadley turned 6 months. We had a fun "Dance Party" and Cars themed birthday with family to celebrate Grant turning 3. Grant's really been into dancing so we made up a playlist, bought some glow necklaces and bracelets, and turned on the lighted disco ball...it was a success and Grant had a great day! These ages brought the 3 year and 6 month check-ups. So here are the stats-Grant 41 in tall (95%) and 35 lbs (80%), Hadley 29 1/4 in tall (99%), 17 lbs (70%), and 17 1/2 in head circum. (90%). What can I say, our kids are tall! So since Grant turned 3, we have been hearing a lot of "why", we also have been hearing a lot more "I can do it myself". And tonight as I watched Grant sit indian style, looking through a book, in his little jeans, top, and spiderman watch-I just smile-because our little boy really is becoming a big boy.

What else is up with Grant at 3-he continues to love books, cars (especially the Cars themed cars), helping cook, his Toy Story characters, playing outside, swinging, sledding, making her sister laugh, music, dancing, and singing. His newest song is "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"-I know I'm biased but man it's cute. :) He is constantly saying things that make us smile-a few that come to mind-out the blue he says "Dad, your the Man!" or telling me "Mom, you look handsome" or "you washed my clothes-thank you!-he is so genuine and so much of what he says melts my heart. Yes, I am one proud Mama of my little man. :) And Miss Hadley, well her dad started calling her "Hadley Girl" not long after her arrival home and it's stuck for Grant. He calls her this all the time! :) So our little Hadley Girl turned 6 months and she instantly became much busier. She's grabbing and reaching for anything in front of her, always wanting to be where the rest of us are, loving when anyone plays and tickles her, so much more involved with her toys, sticking everything in her mouth, and sitting up like a big girl. Her dad, brother, and I love to greet her upon awaking from her night's sleep or nap and love to see her smile when she sees all of us. She makes sure she gets sat at the table and fed whenever we are eating-and she is eating like a champ! She is definitely our little sweet pea! :)
