Growing Up!

I just can't believe it. Everyone told me during both pregnancies that once the boys were born, time would fly... I tried brushing them off, but they were right! Graden will be celebrating his first birthday tomorrow!

He's a walking, grunting, mumbling, teething, drooling, giggling machine! He makes me smile - no matter what kind of mood I'm in - and loves his big brother. If he can't SEE Landen, he moves all through the house until he finds him. He becomes a speed-walker/crawler if Landen yells "Graden, come play with me!" Graden is a total 'Daddy's boy' and is also quite fond if his Pawpaws & "Uncle B"! He's into anything that makes noise, Mickey Mouse, Landen's cars, balls, peek-a-boo, food, climbing, being outside, and head-butting. (Not sure where that last one came from, and I laugh out loud just typing it... but it's true! He head-butts everything!) It's hilarious to watch and even funnier to know that it makes Graden crack himself up!

I'm grateful watching Phil interact with these boys, too. They already want to be just like him... I'm sure I've mentioned this before. I remind myself daily how blessed I am and I constantly wonder what I did to deserve such a home...

These boys are truly the joys of my life and the pieces that make my heart whole. I never thought I'd experience such a feeling... I never knew it existed until these boys came into my life. I'm such a lucky mom!

Many happy fall days to your home... :)
Enjoy getting ready for the holidays...
