Happy Birthday indeed

It is unbelievable to us that we are writing this, but we now have a THREE YEAR OLD!  On Grant's  birthday, we had a few friends over to celebrate with him.  There was a dinosaur theme to the party and Shannon made another stellar cake that matched the theme.  It was a fun celebration as you can probably see from these pictures.

Everyone loved the chocolate covered marshmallows

The party was great, but turning 3 also meant another visit to the doctor.  Grant is now 3 ft tall (15%) and weighs 29 lbs (24%).  He is in great health.  Reid also had a 6 week follow up from his 6 month visit to check his growth.  He's still a shorty but his weight is up a bit, probably from all of the sweet potatoes, avocados, butternut squash, carrots, peas, green beans, and bananas he's been eating.  We're hoping that his height will soon catch up with his growing belly so we don't have to worry about seeing an endocrinologist.

And speaking of Reid, he has become a mover!  He is starting to get his army crawl down, so in other words, gone are the days of laying him on the ground to get some things done.  He is fascinated with anything that has a handle, a cord, or fur (poor Brady).  We think that it won't be too long before he can actually crawl because he keeps getting up on his toes and rocks.  Here is a video of him getting into the crawl position.

And finally, here is a picture of our growing boys on July 4th.
