I thought this picture was so cute I had to post it. We got Grant a balloon from Harris Teeter one day and I must say they provide much more entertainment value than I thought they would. In this picture Grant is also holding his most prized possession--Blue. An original name, I know. This little dog-head on a cuddly blanket is the toy we would give to Grant when he was learning to fall asleep by himself when he was about 4 or 5 months old. Since then they have become fast friends and Grant tries to take Blue everywhere with him. Often Grant will bury his face in Blue's softness and just laugh, he's just so happy to have him. I wonder if Blue will become Grant's Bunny. For those of you who don't know about Bunny, she was my own sleep toy (originally enough, a cuddly bunny) that I got when I was 2 or 3 and who slept in my bed until she was retired when I got married. Now she sleeps on the top shelf in the closet, collecting dust, but I still look at her from time to time. I guess we really like our cuddly sleep toys in this family.


Nice shot, huh? Grant and I practicing our downward dog yoga pose. Actually, Grant has recently discovered the wonders of looking at the world upside-down. I walked in the room the other day to see him looking between his legs, upside down and thought it was pretty funny. Grant must have thought it was funny too because he kept doing it over and over again.
In other news, we are leaving this Saturday for Denver for the 1st of Ryan's dental school rotations this summer. We are so excited to get out to CO and especially to see my college roommates and their hubbies. Troy and Tracie are graciously letting us stay with them and I think this trip will be a lot of fun! Just as long as Grant doesn't think Lexie is one of his toy cats :)
