A big boy bed at 17 months old!

Look at you in a big boy bed!  Grant, at almost 17 months old we had to convert your crib to a toddler bed because you are constantly crawling out.  One morning Griffin woke us pat 6:00 a.m. saying that you had walked in his room and woke him up - that was the last straw - at not even 1.5 yet, you can't be getting out of bed without a peep!  You actually are handling the transition to a toddler bed really well considering your young age.  For the first nap in it, we put you down like we normally do (a sweet snuggle time while we read, singing you a song ("Can't Believe You're Here Now"), and putting you in bed).  You just laid there and went to sleep without a sound!  We were impressed.  You do love your naps though, so I guess we shouldn't have been surprised.  

January 2015 - 17 months old

New Year's Eve at Grammy's
You love tools so much - it's hard to see in this picture, but you have a little wrench that you're trying to 'fix' your crib with.  You love to carry around tools and try to fix things!  
This was taken at Winter Park - you and I hung out at the bottom of the lift while Grace and Griffin skied ... it cracks me up.  
You are lucky to have a big brother and sister who love to play with you so much!  And you fit right into their play - you don't seem to realize that you are still a baby.  It is so cute and warms our hearts so much to see you guys play together.
We went bowling with some friends and you loved it!  You thought you were bowling too ...
...and you squealed, clapped, and laughed every time you 'bowled'
It was adorable to see how excited you got!  Your little legs would be pumping and you'd wave your arms in excitement.  
You love your cow!
And you love your Pop Pop : )
And Griffin! 
You love to put on our shoes and were thrilled to put on Pop Pop's boots!
If you get hungry and I'm busy you just help yourself to some cereal right away.  I loved that you were trying to clean up your mess on your own!
So much fun!

On a 70 degree day in January we rode bikes to Menchies for frozen yogurt, which you LOVE!
