Christmas and The Big 01!

Everyone wants a picture with the Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Grady! He had his first taste of cake, sort of, it was a pumpkin-apple muffin with cream cheese frosting, he loved it but he was acting a little crazy come 8 o'clock!
When he got tired of opening gifts he decided to climb through them, this was just as much fun if not more than opening them.
Our little Rocker!
It took a little while but he got the hang opening gifts, he did love playing with the paper and handed out all the little tiny pieces to people sitting around. It was not a quick process!

Grady Walks!

Check out this video of Grady taking his first steps across the living room!

Snow!

We got our forest pass and went to find the perfect tree, well at least one that wasn't completely bare. Grady was bundled in his new sled and loved bouncing up and down through the snow.
The Moore Family Tree
The one we opted for was a little thin at the bottom so we just took the top 6 feet and it came out great. It looks perfect in our house and it was a memorable trip!
Grandma and Grandpa Stearns brought Grady a new sled just in time.


Grady loves the snow! He had so much fun on our first snow day crawling through it. His boots are a bit too big so he crawled right out of them and across the lawn in his socks, didn't seem to bother him at all.

Santa Who?

Grady's first encounter with Santa didn't really give him the Christmas spirit. He was terrified of the man! He wasn't scarred for life though because we took him to Mountain Top Music afterward so he could jam, and I think we may have a drummer on our hands. When we got home he was so tired that he crashed with Rosie.

Grady found out how to open the hat box today. So we naturally let him try on (forced him to wear) all of the hats.
