Grant's 1st Birthday!

Grant's first birthday party was great! We had a lot of people show up. Lots of family and friends...thank you so much for coming. It meant so much to us! Grant was so overwhelmed with all the people here in our house! Not to mention all the toys!...oh my goodness, where will we will put them all!! I need a whole 'nother bedroom just for toys! He loves and plays with every one of them! The cakes turned out great..thankfully! I was so worried. The grocery store here was going to make them and then called me four days before the party and said that they couldn't do it because I wanted the picture done in icing. Why they couldn't tell me this the day I went there and ordered it, I will never know. So luckily I had heard of a place in Laurel called Sugarbakers. I had heard that they were good. I didn't have time to go to Laurel and show them a picture of what I wanted (I'm really picky...) So I just told them over the phone and told them I trusted them. As you can tell by the pictures, they did a MORE THAN WONDERFUL JOB!
Today at church, Grant just wasn't having it with me leaving him in the nursery. He just isn't used to the church nursery yet, so I stayed with him. I am glad I did because he took his first two steops today!! I teared up!! I was so excited! I can't believe he is growing up so fast right before our eyes. He is saying so many words, mama, dada, baba, nana, troopa, bugga(Mydad's dog is Buger) juice, and dog. He loves to listen to music and dance! It is so funny. He likes to watch the Wiggles and Higgleytown Heros. I think that its more for the music than anything. He still isn't walking yet, but is close. He is a super fast crawler though!! He weighs 22 pounds. We go to the doctor in a couple of weeks for our checkup so I will have to update you more on that.
He is a happy baby. Though, he is going through some kind of sleep phase. He was sleeping through the night. THen all of sudden, he started waking up in the middle of the night for no reason and to save us sleep because we both work and get up at 5 we jsut put him in the bed with us...I know I know bad idea. Well, I have to fix it. Anyone have any ideas????

Well, for those of you who don't know, we are selling our house. So please be prayer that it will sell. We feel like that is what God wants us to do right now.
