7 Months Old!

Today my little guy is 7 months old....I can hardly believe how fast the time is flying by. He is such a little Chubs and has rolls on every part of his body. It is almost amazing how crazy the rolls look, kinda like a little charpei! He is just getting cuter and cuter everyday! He loves to jabber 24/7, and he has some of the cutest little sounds, and one really annoying sound! He usually makes that one when we are driving, or sitting in church. Super Loud and really not the cutest. He is really on the move now. Not quite crawling yet, but definitely trying. He gets in the crawling position and usually pushes himself backwards. He then get frustrated and then just rolls where ever he need to go. He tends to get stuck under the table and piano bench, but lets nothing stop him from getting what he wants. He loves food and wants whatever we have in our hands. I try to give him baby food, which he will sometime take, but if we have something in our hands, that is always more tempting to him and he will grab and fuss until you break whatever it is off a little and give it to him. He has had 2 bottom teeth come in this past month, and you can see two top ones about to push through and those things are sharp, so it is always good to avoid putting your fingers in his mouth. He has also almost mastered the straw sippy cup. It has 2 uses right now....chewing and getting a little sip of water here and there.

Chase and him are the best of friends. Every morning Chase will crawl into the crib with Grant and I can hear them just giggeling away. It is always the sound that i wanted to hear and am so excited that they already love each other so much. As soon as Grant sees Chase he squeals and starts waving his arms. And Chase is always trying to make him laugh!
What a pair the 2 of them are!
More updates to come soon!

Oh Mexico!

Chris and I headed to Mexico without the kids! YES....the kiddos stayed at home and we had a little time to relax and just spend time together! It was perfect....the views were breathtaking, the company fun, and just a perfect time to relax and spend time with Chris without any distractions. I felt a little guilty having such a great time with the kids at home, but they had a great time with Grami Cami and Aunt Melissa. Here are just a few pics of our trip!

Honestly, I cannot wait to do it again!

This was my view every morning....

6 Months Old

Wow! Where has the time gone? Our little guy is already 6 months old and "ALL CHUNK"! He has been the best little addition to our family and all of us are already spoiling him rotten, including his older brother Chase. Grant is definitely a Mommas Boy. He is willing to go to other people, but keeps a close eye on me when someone else has him. He still is such a happy baby, and loves to giggle and laugh and is ticklish on every roll on that chubby little body of his. Although he is pretty happy most of the time he has no problem in letting you know when he is upset or wants something. He is constantly trying to grad things, and I think just loves to hear him self make lots of noise. He loves to stand when we are holding him and when he sit and is quite the bouncer. He now has 1 tooth that has totally pushed through and 2 on the way!

I took him in for his 6 month appointment yesterday and as always was excited to see his stats, but not so excited about the shots. The doctor was asking the typical routine questions, and I told him that Grant had been pulling on his ears, but thought it was due to teething since that had been the case with Chase. I was so sad to find out that the little guy had a "severe" ear infection. Made me feel horrible. He is on antibiotics now so hopefully he will be better very soon. Other than that the doctor said he looked great and was a very strong little baby with how well he was sitting and bouncing around while sitting. I would not expect any different from our little guys! They have both been very strong babies and impress us every day!

Yummy In My Tummy!

Grants wish finally came true today when he was able to have rice cereal! This little guy has been eying our food and drinks for sometime now so this was a BIG day for him. He was very excited when he saw the spoon coming towards his face and wanted to grab it every time. In fact Grami Cami had to help by holding his hands down so we could get the food in his face because he was so excited! Nothing cuter than your little one having food for his first time!

4 Month Appointment

I can hardly believe that Grant is 4 months already he is growing so fast, and I can hardly imagine our little family before he arrived. He just completes our family! He is such a smiley, happy little guy, and I can honestly say that I have never been able to get a baby to giggle so easily. He has a a rough run with the acid reflux, but at his 4 month appointment we worked a little bit on how we would give him medicine and hopefully we will solve the problem so our little guy is not in a lot of pain! He loves to grab his feet, laugh and talk, and is working on sitting up. Every chance he gets he is grabbing my cup and trying to bring it to his mouth, and stares like at us whenever we are eating. I think it is almost time for us to try solids with him! He really is a great baby! Here are just a few pics!

More Fall Fun

I have to say that Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the smell in the air, and all the activities offered for families and kids. We have been trying to take advantage of what we can and staying warm at the same time. Just a few pics of what we have been doing.

Gardner Village- Take One...
Chari and I took the kids over to Gardner Village to check out the fun witches they have every where. I know we both got up early and checked the weather and were pretty confident it was going to be perfect day for an outing so off we went. Boy were we wrong. It was windy and rainy! We got a little bit of the sights in, but will have to try to get back there again before the end of the season! So heres to great company on a windy, rainy day!
CornBellies
We had so much fun here! Chase loved running around and doing every activity possible. The best was the how they just play in lots of corn kernals. You would be amazed at how much came out when we took him to the bathroom at the restaurant.
Trying to be creative...
I have never had a very creative bone in me, but have tried to do some fun fall food and activities for Halloween. I think I will get better with time....

Anyone want to guess what this is?My cute boy!
