Grant Update 2017

I stopped blogging a while ago, but I wrote these notes on my phone so I wouldn't forget them. They are short hand and not fully thought out. Just wanted to keep these as memories!

Granty/Bubba/Bubba Boy/Bubby

15 months
Much sweeter boy in the morning. Still a happy boy in general but when mad...real mad! Enjoys exploring new things and playing with sisters. Every time a sister comes into the room he runs over and gives them a big hug. Still loves to be held (standing!!) and still loves to snuggle on me and do face nuzzles and kisses. His hugs are the best as they are sooo strong and tight. He will also go to anyone he knows in the family. The girls wouldn't go to anyone they hadn't seen in a while. He goes to them as long as he's cool with them and knows them but even if he hasn't seen them in a while. He's in nap limbo. I think he's ready to go down to 1 nap a day. He still sleeps 10.5-11 hrs at night and 2 naps a day. He still only has 6 teeth. Best hair ever. Everyone comments on how cool it is. He got his first trim and it looks so good. He loves doing games and apps on the iPad. He's actually really good at it which isn't necessarily a good thing. He's super smart and can say these words: mama, dada, sis sis, owl, wa wa, bubba, "cheese", ow (hurt), uh oh, animal sounds for dog, cat, elephant, monkey, snake, "I don't know" (said with tone and specific sounds/words), baba, papa, nana, bubba,

18 months - snuggliest, kisskiest, most affectionate, ball of fire!

My bubba is a little firecracker Of love and cuddles. He’s a busy boy that loves a good hug and squeeze and then he’s back out again. He still loves a good nuzzle session too. He runs and hugs alllll the grandparents and is so happy to give someone a high five or dab. He’s the most likely to be friendly with new people or people he doesn’t see often. He’s the most expressive of the three and is so fun to show new things to because it’s always met with a big reaction. We just started with the defiance/screaming/tantrums and so far they don’t last too long which is nice. He understands and comprehends soooo much more than his age level. It’s easier to level with him that way. He talks and talks and talks but most of the time in his own language. He is still obsessed with his sisters and wants to be with them all the time. He runs and hugs them every time they enter a room and can’t wait for school days to be over. He’s not a huge eater all at once but prefers snacking alllll day. He’s sleeping better now (finally! This kid was the hardest to adjust to his early rising schedule). He sleeps 730-630ish and has a 1-1.5 hour nap during the day. He’s the most stubborn of all the kids. He doesn’t give up. He’s loves to dance and listen to music! He’s obsessed with the trolls movie and the soundtrack. We listen to it allll day AND in the car.
