Funny Moments

Grant has so many moments lately that make us laugh out loud. Tonight, we were making tacos and he held up his plate with one hand and said "Man do that at Hola". Hola is what he calls the mexican restaurant that we go to a lot. He was actually balancing the plate really well. His little mind is constantly going!

He also loves to watch Sloan take a bath every night. He is dying to get in there with her but it will be a few more months before that can happen. He gets in right after her now.

Sloan 3 Months Old




Sloan is now 3 months old and doing great! I couldn't get one of these pictures turned the right way for some reason. She rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time today! She also started getting up on her elbows today. She likes to do the "airplane" move when she is on her stomach...see the picture, lol! She is really starting to follow objects and noises with her eyes. Bathtime is one of her favorite things every night but she screams to the top of her lungs when you pull her out. She is sleeping 12 hours at night but totally random on napping during the day. She is not on a schedule for eating during the day yet either. She takes around 25 ounces a day in a random amount of bottles. And she still spits up a lot so I guess that is here to stay until she starts solid food.

Grant has a New Tooth!

Grant has finally cut a new tooth! He has yet to get his 2 year molars and then he came and told me that he "broke a tooth". I pulled out a flashlight to see what he meant.....and his lower left molar is cutting through his gum! He was feeling a new tooth coming through and thought it was broken, lol!

We have been in the process of getting a new nanny and finally found someone whom we think is going to be great! She starts tomorrow! I am now back work and have been very busy. I have not had time to take many pictures but will definitely take some soon to post.

Sloan is now officially 3 months old and weighed 10lb 4 ounces a couple of days ago.

Cake Pop or Pop Cake?

I have learned over the last 3 months that it is extremely difficult to go anywhere with a 2.5 year old and infant by myself. So, we remain at home most of time. However, we have ventured out a few times. One place we have gone a few times is Starbucks to get a Mocha for me. I decided to introduce "Cake Pops" to Grant. It only took once and now if he sees a Starbucks, he says "mommy, go to Pop Cake house". Not sure why he has reversed the words but he refuses to say it in the right order, lol! He makes us laugh everyday with something he says or does.

One other funny story of the day....Luke called me on my cell phone and after we hung up I went to get Sloan up from her nap. When I came back downstairs, Grant had my phone and was talking on it. I thought he was pretending and asked him who he was talking to. He said "dada, say hey mommy". I still thought he was joking until I took the phone and realized that he had really called Luke. He hit the send button and it called the last person who called me which was Luke. Guess he got lucky on that one and so did I.

Sloan is 12 Weeks Old

Sloan is now 12 weeks old and I go back to work next week, wow! She weighs 9lb 14ounces so she are almost 10lbs! She started doing the funniest thing this week...she raises her left arm straight up in the air and just holds it there...like she is saluting someone, lol! She is sleeping from 7:30pm to 7:30am now and is taking in around 24 ounces of formula a day now. She is still a spit-up queen but that may not change until she starts solids...we will see.
Grant is growing a lot as well. His 2T pants are now getting short on him. He is now using "I" most of the time instead of using the third person (Grant want this, etc.). His memory still amazes us...he will bring up things from over 6 months ago and not miss a detail. He remembers names of people after only seeing them one time, so strange. He has also recognized the difference between boys and girls....he informed me that "dada has pee-pee and Grant has pee-pee but mommy not have a pee-pee".....I quit undressing in front of him several months ago when he kept pointing out "nipples" so I wasn't quite prepared for that comment to come out of his mouth quite yet. He never ceases to amaze me on a daily basis!
