Sweet Boy

My boy is growing so big so fast! He is really smiling and "talking" a lot. He is already getting a tooth!! He has been really fussy for the past few days. He has had a cold and been teething on top of it, poor guy. He really is a sweet boy with lots of big smiles when he isn't crying ;)

Baby Update

Grant is getting so big! He had his 2 month check up today and weighed 11 pounds! He did great at the visit. He has been fussy tonight though from the shots. He is such a sweet boy. He is smiling and cooing a lot more now. He sleeps about 5-6 hours straight most nights now. He is starting to like Praise Baby and Baby Einstein DVD's. He loves to watch his siblings. He loves to sleep swaddled up TIGHT with the sleep sheep on. He LOVES his mommy and she loves him :)

First Smiles

Our baby boy started smiling the past 2 weeks. He did a few times while we were in De, but he has really been doing it the last few days. He is starting to "coo" too. Although he usually gets hiccups after he smiles and "talks",maybe he is just refluxing and making faces but it's still pretty cute. I tried to catch him last night on camera but I only got 1 good one....Enjoy :)

Our Pickle Noodle

We have been very busy with "life". I haven't gotten to hardly be on the computer let alone upload pictures! We have been slackling on taking pictures the last few days. We went to Alice's house and had a photo shoot last Wednesday so I will post those pictures soon! Caroline has nicknamed Baby Grant "pickle","noodle" or "pickle noodle". She talks to him in baby talk and wants to hold and love on him. She is really sweet with him. Grayson just calls him "my baby brother". He loves to kiss him and lay with him! Here are som pics of our little pickle noodle!
Caroline and Grayson have such a hard time taking a nap on Sundays for some reason. Yesterday was no exception. No nap for either of them despite almost 2 hours of trying! Grayson was unbearable! Mark took Caroline to church and the boys and I stayed home. Grayson was asleep on the couch about 10 min. after they left. Grant was so fussy yesterday! He just wanted to eat or be held. I just sat on the couch with my baby boys and snuggled! As tiresome (is that a word?) as this life is right now, I don't want them to grow up!



We have discovered that in order for mommy to get anything done he needs to hang out in the sling mamaw Lisa made him!

Sweet Boy

Here are a few new pics. We have been busy the last few days. Satyrday we had a relaxing day at home. We went to church on Sunday. Grant did great for his first time in church. We had to go to the DR today for a wt. check. He was 6lbs 8oz. He is 1 oz past birth wt. He is growing too fast already! We gave him a bath last night, it was technically his 2nd bath but we forgot to put the memory card back in the camera and didn't get pics of the first one. He is so cute and alert when he wants to be. The kids still look for him as soon as they wake up and say "where's my baby?"

30th Birthday and 1st DR visit

Well, yesterday we celebrated my 30th Bday. Grant had his first Doctor's appt. yesterday so we started the day by going there. They said he is doing well. He weighed 6.2 lbs. He was 6.4 when we left the hospital. We have to go back Monday for a Wt. check. He was in the 10th percentile for wt and 12th for ht. He is tiny! He hadn't gone poop since we left the hospital so they were a little worried and he was starting to get jaundice so they sent us to have a bilirubin drawn. He also had some problems with his circumcision bleeding a lot in the hospital. The pediatrician took off the gauze wrap and it looks better! It still looks so sore though. We have to keep putting the vaseline gauze on it for a little while. Keep praying it heals fast. After the Dr and going to get the labs drawn we ate at chik-fil-a. We then headed to Babies-R-Us for a few things we needed and stopped at Target. Grant finally pooped while we were at Target....what a mess! Then we headed to Mom and Dad's for dinner. I requested cube steak and green beans with Chocolate sauce and cupcakes for dessert. The kids had picked out a chocolate cake for me too. YUMMY! You can see in the pictures what a mess Grayson made with the cake. It was a long but fun day. I wasn't feeling very good yesterday. Very tired and achy but I feel a lot better this morning. That could be due to the great night we had with Grant. Mom and Dad kept Caroline and Grayson. Grant ate at 10:00, 1:00 and 5:00. We slept in until almost 9am and it was great!! He is so sweet and sleeping better now! Here are some pics from our big day!

Sleepless night

Well, we got home yesterday about noon. Grant slept and ate off and on all day. He was so good! We fed him and went to bed about 11:30. Well, we were up ALL night!! He cried and cried and ate and ate. He would fall asleep and we would lay down and then he would wake up screaming! His circ had to have been hurting him when he had to pee-pee :( It was pitiful he would just scream. I hope it heals soon, it looks awful from where they had so much trouble getting it to stop bleeding. About 6:30am he ate again and finally passed out. Thankfully Mom was here and held him while I got like 2 hours of sleep. Hopefully tonight goes better. He is lucky he is so cute because I think that is the worst night I have ever had with one of these three. Anyway, here are some pics of last night and today.....Enjoy!

I think the blog is fixed :)

I have been having trouble viewing the blog myself and several others have reported the same thing. I think I fixed it...we will see. At any rate, we are all doing well. Still in the hospital but should be going home in the AM. Grant is doing well. Eating really well, slept a lot today. He got his circumcision and he had a lot of bleeding :( They had to put some special gauze stuff on him and it looks a mess. I feel so bad for him! Mom, Dad and Caroline and Grayson came to visit this afternoon. The kids LOVE him! Mom said Caroline made up stories about Baby Grant and told them until she fell asleep last night. Grayson keeps saying "my brother" if you say anything about Baby Grant to him. We will have a hard time keeping them away from him! Here are some pictures from today.....ENJOY!

Baby on the way!

Well, we are at the hospital! Baby Grant is on his way. I started having contractions last night so I guess today was destined to be his birthday! They weren't anything major though. They have started the Pitocin and I am just waiting on the epidural.....ASAP. Contractions aren't too bad yet but I hope they get here soon :)Will try to keep the blog updated and will definitely post pics when we can!
