The Latest

Grant is almost three weeks old now and I can't believe it. I am trying to get used to broken up sleep and being a mother in general. Some things come naturally and other things don't. We love our little Grant so much. I could just stare at him all day (sometimes it feels like that is all I do). He is a good tempered baby except he hates getting his diaper changed. With everything else he's pretty mild and quiet.

Grant had his two week doctor's visit a couple days ago. He now weighs 7 pounds 13.5 ounces (19th percentile) and he is 21 inches long (51st percentile). He's a very good eater and sometimes it seems as though he never wants to stop feeding. I love comforting my baby and holding him in my arms. I love how he holds his hand straight up in the air when he's latched on and eating. I love that he takes a binkey and falls asleep when riding in his car seat. I love that he and daddy always fall asleep together in the recliner. I love him to pieces.



We had some professional pictures taken last week so I'll post a couple when I get them.

He's so handsome! I've become quite the connoisseur of cute babies over the years, and Grant ranks top among the cutest 3 week olds I have ever seen. I hope all 3 of you are doing well and getting enough sleep!

He is beautiful! Life can be hard as a mom but I promise there are more rewarding moments and less frustrating momemts. Enjoy holding him all the time you won't get that with your other babies!

How cute is he. Woohoo! Dang he is getting big. Don't you feel bad for the girls that deliver them when they are that big or bigger when they are born. Can't wait to see your pictures!
