Spring Fluffing

Spring has sprung so I did a little fluffing around the house this weekend.


My red tulips are slowly popping up. Collin planted these for me back in November. I remember telling him that when these bloomed, our baby would be here!!

I put together this Easter basket today for Grant. No candy in these eggs!! Maybe the Easter bunny will bring him some quarters for his piggy bank.
I bought this super cute bunny on a stick thingy today for Pier 1. It is so cute!! And only $2.00!!
There is a bunny in this pic too. Can you find it??
I couldn't post on my blog without putting a pic of our sweet angel. Not sure how he fell asleep like this....it cannot be comfortable!!
Happy Spring!!

Weekend Pics

We worked in the yard a bit this weekend and you can see what a help Mr. Grant was.
We were on Skype the other night and he just put his head down on his dad's arm like he was too pooped to talk anymore!!

Naked baby under that blanket!!
Sweet angel all snuggled up.
Here is our cool dude getting ready to sit outside on the porch. These glasses are a little too big for him still!!

Weekend Pics

We had a pretty lazy weekend. It has been so cold and rainy till late this afternoon. So this was an even better excuse to be lazy! Grant made his first "Friday night date" trip to Southlake on Friday. He got to go to mommy and daddy's favorite Mexican restaurant, Mi Cocina!! I don't think he was too impressed because he slept the whole time. He doesn't know it, but he ate there EVERY Friday night before he was born. We also made a trip into Costco, another place he went to EVERY Friday night. Other than that, the weekend was filled naps, Collin's new addiction to Facebook, and lots of messy diapers!! It was great!!
Chillin with Dad in his new favorite position to be held.
Look at these creases !!! I swear he gains a new one every week!! So cute!!
I think they are having a stare down contest here. Or, Grant is begging Dad to share that bag of cookies he's got.
Sweet baby. He definitely looks like Collin here. Anybody think he looks like me??
This is some major spit up going on here!! You know it was bad when he has it up to his eyebrows!!

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!"
