A Great Afternoon Outside!!

I am loving these days when I can be outside amongst my toys, the leaves and the sticks! I pretend the sticks are drum sticks and I bang on everything with them. As long as I'm outside I'm a happy boy!!
The yellow leaf.. or the stick behind me?
Look more leaves!!
I pushed my bike all the way over here and now...which toy do I want to drag out?

New Family Member!

I want you all to meet Leine! He's our new kitten, he's 5 months old, and he lets me drag him around on the floor by his tail and he just prrrrr's!
This is Mommy and me rockin' with Leine! He likes to cuddle like I do!
Here's Leine coming out of his hiding spot, he hides from our dog Angus up there!

My best friends!!

My best friends have been over to play with me quite a bit but mommy usually has her hands too full with us to take pictures! This is Drew and me
Here's Hailey, Drew and Myself Madison and Kaden are playing in my stuffed animal bucket, Hailey wants to play in there too and I'm playing with Drew behind the camera!!

My favorite Blanket!

Now that the weather is getting a bit colder I like to snuggle up with things like my teddy or mommy and daddy and especially my blanket!! My mommy's cousin Carrie made me this blanket! I'm such a happy kid to have so many thinking of me! Thanks Carrie!!

My New Favorite Chore!

I have taken it upon myself to do chores around the house.. usually it's helping with laundry, I throw everything out of the basket and then help put it back in. But NOW I'm a big boy and I help do the dishes. Okay, so really I just like to pull the racks in and out on the dishwasher, but I'm helping!

I'm a lucky boy!

I am a very lucky boy to have my friends come from afar to visit me. Auntie Angie came up from the Twin Cities and we had a slumber party! She let me stay up late too! Then my friends Nikki and Kami came to visit me on Saturday, we went to lunch with Auntie Angie and they all took me to the park! I had so much fun with them! I'm glad they came to see me.

But I'm not sleepy yet!!
My friend Kami gave me a motorcycle ride at the park!
Auntie Angie was helping me down the slide
Nikki helped me ride on the horse too!

I'm ONE!!!

It's true, I turned One! I had a great birthday with all my friends and family, they gave me lots of noisy and fun toys! I can't thank them enough. I loved my Elmo birthday cake, as you can see I enjoyed it a lot!
My Elmo cake was yummy and BLUE!

Grandpa Greg and Madison sat and ate cake together!
The party wore Drew out! I should have been napping next to him!
Sarah, Drew, Me and Mommy - Mommy says Drew and I are going to be best friends!!
My friends loved playing with my toys, and I loved it too!
Auntie Angie and Auntie Kim came to celebrate with me too!

My visit to Great Grandma Ruth's!

I was so excited to go visit Great Grandma Ruth, she brought out some toys for me and she fed me cookies and ice cream! I sat in a big chair at her dining room table and had "tea time" w/ Mommy and GG Ruth! Grandma Ruth even took me for a walk and I showed her how quick I get up stairs! I can't wait to go back!

Us... Honeymoon...

We were able to enjoy a little time together in Orlando, Florida the first week of October. Will and I had a great time seeing some sites and just relaxing too! Grady spent the week with Grandma and Grandpa Lanus, which they all three enjoyed! Although Will doesn't think we can ever leave Grady again for 4 nights/5 days, we just missed him too much! But...



Will was able to visit his new FAVORITE place The Corona Cigar Co. (he even took me to see) They have 1.5 million cigars inside which is impressive, I'd say!

Will and I before hitting Universal Studios!

Will and I kickin' it pool side!

Will's DREAM car!!

Just kickin' it!

This is my favorite thing to do... just lounge in my comfy chair!!

Double Trouble!!

I like to see what trouble I can get into.. however, Mommy and Daddy are right there watchin' me!

Mommy and Daddy can't agree!

Well Mommy says that since I was born in Minnesota I should be a Vikings fan but Daddy disagrees! Mommy surprised Daddy by dressing me up in my new Vikings outfit and they decided that I should take turns cheering on their teams! I truly think I'm a Vikings fan though!

King of the Couch!

Grady has become King of the Couch! One of Grady's favorite activities is to climb all over the couch cushions and pillows. He is pretty big stuff when he climbs across them all even when we leave little gaps in between them. He loves it as you can see!
