Bumbo Seat and Ladybug

We've been very careful with the Bumbo seat, since we know that its dangerous in certain situations. Grant likes to sit on his while we hang out in the kitchen. He also likes his ladybug book.

My Washcloth

The teachers at Elizabeth's give the babies clean washcloths to play with, chew on, and cuddle. Its funny- I've seen the baby girls actually play tug of war with them, because they can't find their own and try to take someone else's. This is Grant with his.

Best Smile EVER

Happy Halloween!

We just put Grant to bed. He was one very tired cow. Cute, but tired. This orange outfit was what he wore to school. We waited until he got home to dress him in his cow outfit. I agree with Teresa- he's no troll baby!

Funny Hat!

Isn't this hat too cute?!? Its so big and fuzzy that he can't turn his head in the carseat with it on. It was 29 degrees this morning.

Just plain funny!

Grant, giving the fist of rock. He's already a Metallica fan, I guess.

Brainwashed already?

The day Grant discovered television.

Football

Grant, with Grandpa Jack, at his first football game. Go hawks!

Picture of the Day

This is what I saw when I got to Grant's daycare- happy boy in a cute little seat. He wasn't in the same clothes as when I dropped him off, but its rare for an outfit to last all day.

Picture of the Day

I think I'm now addicted to taking pictures on my phone and sending them here. I hope it doesn't cost too much. Here is Grant on my lap this morning. I liked the picture, but when I saw it bigger I decided I needed to send more. See above.

Please remember to thank my sister if this new surge in photos pleases you. Its all her idea! Hugs to Aunt Teresa!

Picture of the Day- All Fired Up!

Here is Grant from last Saturday. He was hanging out while Mom and I painted pottery. Now that I know how to post pictures from my phone, I hope to get one up each day. Its much easier than downloading them from the camera.

Lots of photos!

Enjoying the beautiful weather.
Grant likes this hat- he just wishes his Aunt Teresa would make him one!

Baby burrito!

Grant's new favorite thing is his toes. He loves to play with them!

Twice in One Week

Here is Grant in his Bumbo seat. Its great- we put it on the computer desk so that he can hang out with us while we surf the web. He likes anything that makes him feel all grown up.

He's in his new jumping thingy. I wouldn't have gotten Tigger, except it was a good price at TJMaxx. Isn't the tail funny?

So he doesn't look exactly thrilled. But he enjoyed it. I would take his legs and swing him a bit, and he'd catch himself and stand so that it wouldn't swing.

Because of the climbing thingy in the kitchen, the only doorway on the first floor that works is the one into the bathroom. Grant didn't seem too upset about that, though.

Three Months Old

So I know its been ages. We are enjoying a regular schedule again. Grant sleeps all night, loves his daycare place, and is even cuter, if you can believe it. I'm loving work, which may be a bit odd. Here are some recent photos of our darling.
Gram and Grandpa got Grant this "Tiley" hat. We use it for walks. I thought he'd hate it, but he doesn't mind at all.

I had hoped Grant was sleeping. He'd been so quiet in his crib this afternoon. I felt sure he was asleep! Alas, he was just laying there, relaxing in his crib.

Grant loves the two sweaters Aunt Teresa has knitted for him. This one's a bit big, but he was so tickled when I was putting in on him the other day. He enjoys drooling on it. We are so glad that Grant has such a talented aunt. No silly store-bought winter cover-ups for this dapper baby!

I like these photos of Grant playing on the sofa. Its so like him- cute, happy, and in motion. I think the one below is my new favorite. I don't know how we got such a wonderful baby!

Our New Schedule

I am getting around to this week's pictures and videos. Hope you like these photos. I think he's so cute that I can barely stand it! Grant's doing really well with my friend for day care. It helps me a lot, since she's such a great friend and mom to her own kids. It'll make it pretty easy for me to leave him at a real day care in a couple of weeks. He's getting bigger and stronger all the time. I went in this morning to find that he had rotated his body 180 degrees overnight- his head was where I'd put his feet when I put him down. He's so advanced!

Grant in the Tub!

and with his kick and drive toy!

What a week!

So I'm back in Lynchburg with my little family. Things are going well. I'm starting back to work on Monday, and I'm actually looking forward to it! I'm also doing Weight Watchers to take off some baby weight (and hopefully more).

Grant is two months old now. At his last appointment, just two days ago, he weighed twelve pounds even. It certainly feels like more when I'm carrying him up the steps for the umteenth time. Today we had a milestone- he had his first nap in his crib! He sleeps all night in there, but he has resisted naps. Here are some photos!Grant loves his Fisher Price "Kick and Drive". He can make it play music, light up, and spin by kicking the yellow thing at his feet or hitting the danglies with his hands.

Cute monkey outfit- the shirt is from Denlow and the shorts are from Rebe (one of the loving grandmothers). These pictures are all from today- there was an unfortunate incident with an unfastened diaper midday.

Eight weeks old!

Here's the latest set of photos!
I miss my Daddy! Isn't this the saddest little face you've ever seen?!? He doesn't cry much, but he knows how to do it!
A happy smile for Gram
This smiling picture rivals the overalls one for my favorite. He's just so sweet and happy. Most of the time.
Grandma Eileen gave Grant a kiss and left some evidence behind. Fortunately it was bath day.
A tired Grandpa with a happy baby. Grant is so good; he laid like this for forty-five minutes. He just let Grandpa snore away.
