6 Months...I can't believe it!


Happy 1/2 year birthday, Grant!  In 6 more months you will have your first bite of cake and ice cream!  Today, you will have to settle for watching mommy, daddy, and Emily celebrate on your behalf!  What a joy you have been to our family for these 6 months.  You continue to be so precious and lovable!  At the doctor, you were 26 3/4 inches long and 16 lbs. 6 oz.  It was so sad, you got 5 shots today...3 of your regular vaccinations, 1 H1N1, and 1 seasonal flu.  I prayed over your little body...
This month...
*You are now eating food!  (If you consider rice cereal food).  You attempt to eat 1 Tablespoon of cereal (mixed with formula) a day.   
*You have also had carrots, sweet potatoes, and pears.  You seem to like the carrots best.  If I don't time your feedings right, you keep your lips sealed as tight as possible and refuse to open up.
*You really love to have a toy in your hands and mouth.
*You look around the room when you hear mommy, daddy, or Emily talking.  I think you recognize our voices.  You love your sister's the most. 
*Emily still gets your best giggles.
*I am working on moving from 5 to 4 feedings a day...7, 11, 3, 7pm.
*You like to have 3 naps a day, but can sort of make it on 2 if needed.
*You have found your toes!  It I take your socks off, your feet come straight for your hands.
*You are starting to arch your back and make a fuss when I put you in your carseat. 
*You still love to stand...maybe one day you will learn to sit.
*You are pretty quiet, but you can squeal and make "talking" noises.
*You have quite a head full of hair and I love it!
Bubba, we love you so very much.  Our family is so complete with you.  We pray over you all the time and know God has great things in store for you.

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...
