Happy 5th Month!

My little guy is 5 months today.  What a joy he is to our whole family.  I am truly trying to soak up every minute with him because I just don't know if the Sullivans are having any more kiddos.  Grant is such a wonderful baby.  I could go on and on about him...
*He can roll over from his back to front (even though I haven't seen it in a long while)
*We are trying to get him to sit (with us holding him), but he doesn't like it one bit...he straightens his body like a board!
*He likes to suck on his left wrist...weird...
*He gives the most wonderful smiles to just about everyone...
*He typically only cries when he is tired and hungry.
*He loves to watch Emily...he flinches quite a bit when she is "playing" with him, but he gives her the best smiles and laughs.
*He is eating 5 times a day...7, 11, 2, 5, 8
*He is sleeping from 8 pm to about 7 am.  He takes a great morning nap, after the 11 feeding we typically get out of the house and he will snooze in the car, takes a great afternoon nap from 2-5ish, and then snoozes in the swing in the evening.
*He loves to hold on to toys now and eat them...ladybug from Emily, green fish from Gigi/Grandpa, soft rattle from daddy, green flower teether toy that was Emily's, and Mickey Mouse from the Lewis family.  He is starting to really like the colorful ball he can hold on to.
*His little baby friends are Eli Lewis, Grace Barrick, and Ryan Ellis.
*He is not really a fan of his baths.
*I love when he comes at my face with a huge open mouth and gets me all soaking wet. ;)



I love you so much, Grant!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
