Walking with Daddy
Grant needs just the slightest of support now when he walks. I wouldnt be suprised to look over and see him walking on his own one of these days. Crazy how quickly things change.

Nana came for a visit on her way back to Kansas for the summer. While she was here she gave Grant a piano lesson and told him to practice. So he did. As often as he could, when he wasn’t … Continue reading →
Silliness
Grant decided the toys that we had out for him to play with weren’t nearly as good as the toys still inside the basket. Or nearly as fun as the basket itself. “Hey, let me in!” says Lucy.“Hey, let me … Continue reading →
Wash cloth

View from Out the Front Window

Grant in a Swing
A couple of blocks from our house there is a small park that has a couple of baby swings. Grant seems to enjoy playing in them.

Sometimes Grant starts doing something new and it is so cute that it has to be caught on video. This is one of those things. I call it the sniffing face. I soon realized that if I did the sniffing … Continue reading →
Improved Mobility
Grant has really gotten good at belly crawling. He can now move about the house pretty quickly. We anticipate that actual crawling will begin at any moment. We now have to keep an eye on him at all times. He … Continue reading →

Skype
Grant enjoyed Skype’ing with Gramma and Grandpa Dungan the other night. We really enjoy being able to video chat with family online. It was definitely worth the $40 spent on a webcam.

Boo Spoon Feeding, Hurray Hand Feeding
Grant took a bit of a break from eating solid foods because he decided he didn’t like to eat off of a spoon any longer. But we later figured out that he perhaps just didn’t like the consistency of the … Continue reading →
Another Creative Writing from my past
The Utensil Epiphanyby: Nathanael Dungan (from December 2002) I had just finished eating a pizza when my mind flashed back to something that had happened just moments before. It was something even farther back than when I had nearly choked … Continue reading →
Exercise
As some of you may know, I am a bit allergic to exercise. Whenever I think about exercising, I get a bit of head congestion, a sneeze, or some other symptom which keeps me from being able to get in … Continue reading →
New Entertainment for Grant
