Two Month Doctor Appointment

Grant had his two month well baby check up appointment today and everything went well! He is meeting all of his developmental milestones appropriately. He received 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine. He did pretty well. No fussing or crying when his pediatrician was seeing him. In fact, I think he even smiled at him! However, when those mean nurses gave him the shots he let loose in the office!! I don't think I have ever seen or heard my baby cry like that!! It started off with a breath hold, a super red face, and then a screaming cry. Luckily there were two nurses, one for each leg, so it went pretty fast and I was able to hold him right after. He calmed down fairly quickly. In fact, one of the nurses asked, "is that all?" I say they were mean, but we actually LOVE his office staff and think he is an excellent doctor. He has been pretty sleepy this afternoon after his big day.
Grant at 2 months:

• 12 lbs 2 oz
• 22 3/4 inches
• has started to smile and coo
• LOVES playing in his crib where he "talks" to his mirrored crib toy and mobile
• sleeps avg of 5-7 hours a night....
• but is a night owl who doesn't like to go to bed till anywhere from 11 pm to 1 am ( this is espcially challenging to mom who, before baby, was in bed by 9:30 every night!!)
• still breastfeeding well; usually every 2 1/2 to sometimes 4 hours during the day
• can lift his head up during tummy time
• holds his head up pretty well when we are carrying him around the house
• loves to stare at lamps and his parent's faces

Peacefully sleeping in his car seat, waiting to go to the doctor. He has no idea of the trauma that awaits him there!! Poor baby!!

Our battle scars!!! I couldn't believe how long those needles were!! Collin said he didn't look when they injected him. I am scarred for life because I did!!!

Two months
Our baby came into this world two months ago this past Saturday. He is getting cuter and more responsive by the day!! You can see by the pics above how much growing he has done since his one month pics I took. When I compare the two pics I can get over how much fatter his face is!!

Toy Time

These pics are from this morning. Grant loves to lay in his crib and "talk" to his mobile and a crib toy that lights up and plays music. His is really "talking" more and more everyday and sometimes even throwing in a smile! I also flip him over after a while and give him some "tummy time."

"Don't you want to pinch my cheeks??"

"I can hold my head up like a big boy!!"

Insert cooing sound here:"______________"

"Wow! This toy is so cool!!"

"That's funny, Mom!"

Happy 30th!!

Well, I'm a little late on this post, but Collin's 30th birthday was last Thursday. You can see from the pics below what Grant's present to his dad was. It is amazing how fast that stuff can travel outside of the diaper!!

I reminded Collin on his birthday to not expect any presents from me on that day because Grant was his birthday present!

Notice how his palms are kinda shiny in the pic above....yep, that's poo.

Stinky! Stinky!

But of course, he is still our sweet angel!!

It looks like Grant is shocked to find out that his daddy is 30 years old!!

"Your old dad!!"

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

Mamadean visits!

Last weekend, my grandmother got to meet her newest great grandchild. My mom and her came up on Thursday and spent two nights with us. It is so great when the grandmas come and help out with Grant!

I love his sweet expression in this pic.

Three generations in this pic, however really four as my mom is the one taking the pic. I don't know why we didn't have Collin take it!!

This is a baby quilt that MY great grandmother made over 30 years ago for my brother. So Grant is her great-great grandchild. I am not sure what number he is. The quilt is so neat to really study. You can see all of her hand stitches and can tell how much work she put into it.

Grant giving his "Dee" a smile. So sweet!!

Mr. Sock Puppet

Collin played sock puppets on Sunday afternoon with Grant and he loved it! He has started to coo and every once in a while I can get a smile out of him. It is so precious!

Bath Time

Sweet, goofy face!
