We have a WALKER!!!

It occurred to me that I might not have mentioned in my previous posts that Grady is WALKING now! He pretty much started walking on his own consistently 4 days after his birthday. And, of course it was right after all of our family left from his birthday party weekend. So, nobody got to see it except for us, but it was awesome! He all of a sudden decided he wants to walk everywhere and now there is NO stopping him! I find things drug all over the house that he picks up and carries all over. The most popular items are: my hair dryer, the remotes, my cell phone, his birthday balloons, candles (that are too heavy for him), and everything he can pull out of his drawer in the bathroom.

We also had a rude awakening in church this morning now that we have a walker. And, not only do we have a walker, we have a walker with an attitude. Most people who know Grady know he is very dramatic and when he is excited he gets VERY excited and freaks out squealing, laughing, and now running. But, when he is mad, he gets mad at the snap of a finger and his temper flares. Which, yes he gets his temper from his dad and his excitedness from his mom! :)
Anyway, when he doesn't get to walk around like he wants to in church he throws one of his tantrums, arches his back so he falls on the ground and screams. Paul and I both took him out of church and spent time chasing him around. It's going to be quite the adventure in the coming weeks! We are already planning on sitting in the nursery room, which at our church, has a pew and a window to look into the church. This might be our permanent pew for the next year or so....
