Let's try this again

Well,
It's been way too long since I last blogged. I guess I dropped the ball on that one! As you can imagine a whole lot has changed since my last post!
Grant is now 16 months and growing faster than ever. He is such a little joy and each day his personality shines more and more. He is 26 lbs, 33 inches, and ALL boy. The child is in perpetual motion, he does not slow down and this results in Mom and Dad on the move non-stop. I can't say either one of us mind, though... he's been so much fun these past few months.
He now says several words: ball, up, more, hi, bye, eye, mole (yes, he points to Andrew's moles and tells us what they are... you can thank Andrew for that one), book, hot, no and the famous "oh wow" and "oh no"... he's learning more and more each day!
His favorite shows include Sesame Street, The Mickey Mouse club and Yo Gabba Gabba(which I find kind of frightening). He has quite the appetite and is not known to refuse many kinds of foods, while this is something we are both thankful for, it is sometimes difficult to pull him away from tables of food at parties, family gatherings etc. He must take after his parents "bottomless pit" characteristic- I like to call it a talent.
He is healthy, happy and smart. We are excited for the warmer weather when he can play outside and run around the yard. I often feel bad that he's cooped up with all of his energy- but that is sure to change in a few months!

Andrew and I are healthy and happy as well! We have been trying the "paleo" diet which basically takes us back to the "caveman" days- lots of meat, veggies and fruit. I've cut out gluten which has been interesting to say the least. I've felt so much better since doing so and I'm confident that eliminating it from my diet solved a lot of my problems I've had in the past! I'm going to try to incorporate a bunch of different things in this blog (again, I'm going to TRY) as we all know how it turned out last time...

I'd like to include my favorite recipes, some of my favorite things I've learned over the past few months that make me a happy lady. This might include food, makeup, healthy snacks, household remedies, fun activities, workouts, pictures, etc. Why not, right?? I figured if I learned from other people's blogs and youtube videos then I should share the wealth!

Car Rides...PEW!

Not much to report otherwise! I will try to stay frequent with posting (at least once a week) and hopefully we will all have some fun things to look back on years from now in my blog archive :)

Thanks for reading! Be happy :)
