Adam and Grant's Blog

Thursday, October 18, 2007

The boys are almost 14 months now. They are making strides that have us completely amazed. Grant can walk dozens of steps at a time, and Adam can crawl, pull himself up, and move around the house at will. Adam's fine motor skills seem to be surpassing Grant's as he can manipulate certain toys that Grant hasn't quite mastered yet. He also has started to ascert himself, and at times actually bullies Grant. Grant takes it all in stride and rarely complains, except when Adam gets a handful of hair. But not to worry, Grant takes advantage of the size difference when it suits him. But it's not always pushing, shoving, and pulling hair. Last night both boys were playing with an electronic air filter (don't worry, I was there and it was completely safe). Adam was standing on one side, and Grant was on the other near the on/off switch. Grant knows how to turn the unit on and off and adjust the speed. For some reason, Adam thought this was hilarious and was belly-laughing the entire time, which made me do the same. My only regret is that I didn't get a video of the whole thing. There are several things that I miss, and maybe I should strap a kiddie-cam to their heads so nothing is missed.

Halloween, not one of my favorite holidays, is soon. Heidi already has their costumes and we will take them to a couple of houses for trick-or-treat. I'll post the pictures on Dropshots. In fact there are some good videos and pics there now.

Other than the reduced amount of sleep, life is very good. We can't imagine life without these guys. Every day brings a new accomplishment and new surprises. Time is passing very fast as they grow. Take a look at the Dropshots when you can.
