A Day in the Life of Our Seven Month Old

Grant is a pretty laid back, happy baby. He is, however, also very curious and BUSY! Here are a couple picturesI took the other day as I was trying to get some things done around the house. These are just a few things I was able to catch on camera.

Grant started the day with an energizing run on the treadmill.

Followed by a challenging climb up the stairs. And then . . .

And then he decided to take a stroll outside (his older brother and sister left the door open).

For Memorial weekend we went camping with five other families in our ward at Gualala River Redwood Park. It was a beautiful campground on the Gualala River and just across the street from the Pacific Ocean. We all had a ton of fun camping with so many good friends.

This HUGE tree (or what's left of it anyway) was in the center of our campsites. The kids could actually climb up inside the tree and play. In this picture, Dallin is looking out of the top at his friends below.

Dallin and his friend, Peyton, play with sticks. Camping in the Redwoods is heaven for little boys!

Sierra eats breakfast in the nook of a big tree at our campsite.

Grant loved playing on the shore of the Gualala river and inspecting (and occasionally tasting) all of the rocks.

Scott, Dallin and Sierra play in the Gualala River.

Although it's hard to see, Scott, Dallin and Sierra are on top of this huge waterfall at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Can you believe a place like this is right in the middle of the city?

While at the Golden Gate Pavilion, I told Dallin and Sierra to "be cute" so I could take a picture. This is what they came up with. Hmmmm. . . they look a little suspicious to me.

For family night a few weeks ago we went to the park to play ball (it was Dallin's turn to choose the activity). Here is Dallin "keeping his eye on the ball" while up to bat.

Scott, helping Dallin with his stance.

Just crawling around doesn't entertain Grant anymore. He prefers more of a challenge-- like climbing over or through obstacles. Here he is climbing underneath his Excersaucer making a kissy face.

Not only is Grant crawling all over the place now, he's also pulling up on everything! This is how I found him after his nap yesterday (very proud of himself). I think it's time to lower his mattress.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Dallin enjoys his first Major League baseball game at AT&T Park as the Giants stomp the Mets.

Happy Easter!The Easter Bunny was very nice to us this year.

 

Still in their PJ's, Dallin and Sierra look for eggs that the Easter Bunny has hidden around our house.

 

Dallin was VERY excited to find that the Easter Bunny brought the bug catcher set he has had his eye on.

Melissa and the kids-- ready for church Easter morning.

 

While the rest of us looked forward to the sweet treats inside, Grant was content just chewing on the plastic egg itself.

We had lots of fun this weekend when Melissa's sister, Holly, and her family came to visit from Utah. We also met up with more of Melissa's family on Sunday at her uncle's farm. Here is Holly reading to Sierra and Grant (yes, Grant is teething-- in case you're wondering why his shirt is so wet).
