One Year and Beyond

For his first birthday, Grant visited Mimi, Jimbeaux, Uncle Jame, Aunt Jessica, Mira, and Holt in South Carolina and went to the South Carolina Zoo. Grant is changing daily before our eyes. He is learning new ways to be entertaining. He can point out lions, dogs, elephants, and other animals. He knows what ball, floor, chair, truck, car, cup, spoon, etc. mean. He can make the sounds for a lion, monkey, and dog. He likes for me to crawl and chase him around, all while growling. We recently started taking him to swim classes, and he seems very much at ease in the water. Christine has had to take over all duties almost exclusively because I sprained my wrist a couple of weeks ago. He has also been attending his friends' first birthday parties. Next up: walking.
