FINALLY - a little help :)

Once she got her hands on a vacuum her size, there was no getting it away from her!

The customary baby pics

Everyone takes these pictures of their babies eating spaghetti. :) Grady does really good at feeding himself and will eat most things.

Little Helper

Matthew got his mustang delivered back to the house a few weeks ago. To make it a short story - the body shop has had it since last July and had barely gotten any work done on it. They had lots of excuses to share with Matthew each time he checked on it and perhaps a couple lies that Matthew caught them in. In short, we do not recommend Advance Auto Body to anyone. :)

Now for the fun part - since it's back in the garage, Matthew has his baby back to go out and tinker on. He also has a daughter that LOVES to be in the garage and tinker as well. So, out I went with the camera to find this.

Safety first I suppose....

I still can't believe he was letting her write on the car with a permanent marker. Yikes!

Onto using the tools

Daddy has a screwdriver so Ryane found hers to help out.

Where did my baby boy go?

Lately, it seems like Grady is growing up really fast. Where did my baby Grady go? I just look at him and see he is turning into a little boy now. I definitely think he acts older and is looking older. I'm sure the cute summer 'big boy' clothes help with the looking older. He is constantly on the move and is very very close to taking his first step on his own. One of his current favorite things is to be up on his head and feet. :) As if he is going to do a sommersault. I think he's been keeping a close eye on his sister's tricks. In some ways, it doesn't seem that long ago that I was still pregnant with him. Sure doesn't seem like I should be starting to plan his first birthday party already! I sure do love my little guy and can barely remember our family without him!!

Here are some snapshots I took yesterday that I think show how he is growing up.

Sibling Love

Short and SWEET! I'd just gotten done telling Grady no pulling hair. :)I'm loving it when the kids are loving and wrestling on their own. They do it frequently in the mornings; however, when I get to video camera out they usually stop and pay attention to what I'm doing--case in point:
