I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, my camera battery has been dead and I just found the charger. I know..bad momma :-). Well, you're adjusting to the twoddler phase very well.
Dear Grant, you no longer walk with hesitation, you run with skill. You can even do mean side step. You are constantly talking and most of your words start with G.. a lot of times it sounds like this "Ga..Ga..GaGa..Ga..GaGa..Ga..Ga..Ga..." Your daddy and I have even made a song to it :-). You are super strong and honestly, I don't know how much longer I can change your diaper, it's truly like WWII when you see me approach you with wipes and a diaper in hand. I have to tackle you to the floor and put my leg across your torso just to keep you still. There is absolutely no way I can change you on the changing table anymore. By the way, your new nickname is Sir Poopalot, yes, you my son can put out quite a load and you are VERY regular. Okay, enough about poop and diapers. Developmentally I think you're doing great. You understand many concepts, such as "Up!" When I say "Up!" you know it's time to climb upstairs. When I say kiss, you know I want a kiss...when I say no, well, you know to stop, but you don't always stop. I know you understand far more than I can write about, but you are a super boy. One of my favorite things to do with you is sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider Song. You get so excited and you even try your best to do the hand movements. You are very independent, in fact, I don't get a chance to cuddle with you like I would like to. You always seem like you're on the clock, so hurried and busy...too busy for cuddling...Kisses you give, but they are short, but oh so sweet.
My dearest Gabrielle. You are the epitome of a little girl, you are like a gentle flower. Even amidst the craziness that Grant brings to the picture, you still seem to stay calm and gentle. Just recently you started giving us big, big smiles, it is so cute. You are quite the talker, I think your record for talking non-stop is 30 minutes :-). I love it! You have a reputation around town as the little girl with the big voice. Many have stopped us to comment on the explosiveness of your vocal ability. While you are the sweetest little thing, you sure do know how to let us know you're unhappy. You've developed a knack for saying no to food. It's absolutely impossible to get you to eat sometimes. As a matter of fact, at your 12 month appointment you only weighed 16.8 lbs. Your Pediatrician is not happy with those figures, so we are on a mission to plump you up. You now rank in the <3% for weight. You recently started to stand on your own, it's so cute because you know it's a major accomplishment and you look to us for applause when you stand. My favorite time with you is bath time. I just love to lotion and give you massages. You seem so happy and relaxed. And I feel like you gaze in my eyes as if to say "thanks mommy, I feel so fresh". You and your brother love music, he does squats and you do the head banger dance.
GnG, I'm so excited about this journey we are in, this love affair is just fabulous. We are blessed to have each other.
Below is a video of your everyday life...just play, play, play!

This is just too cute. I can see Grant as a great sports figure by the way he handles that ball.
Gabi, A.K.a Alicia Keys, Jr., is still working on her musical skills.
They are adorable! Grant walks SO good...does it get easier or harder with walking?
