New Tricks and Halloween Fun!

We had our neighborhood Halloween Parade today....so I got to test out my costume early! I am a deer......not a safe choice during hunting season but hopefully I am cute enough to not be a target, ha! Check out my tail!

Not sure what this big orange thing is....

But I really wanted to touch it a lot!
See how cute I am as a deer!
I love to put everything in my mouth!
I have figured out how to pull the bumper down and see what is going on around my room! Prisoner baby!

Jump, Jump, Jumperoo!!!

Trip to see my Daddy's family

We just took a trip down to Conway, SC to visit Grant's new little cousin, Drew! He is a month old and very cute. This is Luke's sister, Jill, and little Drew.

Grant enjoyed trying out Drew's jumper. Looks like we are going to be purchasing one of these now too, ha! He loved it!
Laughin it up with grandma Cindy!

In other news.....Grant will be 5 months old this week! We will be starting cereal next weekend so that should produce some funny pictures and videos! He is sitting with support now and sometimes on his own for short periods of time. His little personality is definitely coming out....he loves to look in the mirror and laugh....and he is really into his toys now. But everything goes in his mouth too!

New Experiences

My first trip to Chuck E Cheese's for a friends birthday party!

I am finally flexible enough to get both feet in my mouth!

4 Months Old

Grant is 4 months old now and we just had his 4 month doctor's visit. He is 16lbs (80 percentile) and 26 inches long (80 percentile)....wow! He is a big fellow now, ha ha! He is currently getting over his first cold. It is taking a while but he doesn't have an ear infection so we are very happy about that.
He is now putting both of his feet in his mouth and grabbing everything else he can and putting it in his mouth as well. He is rolling over from tummy to back but can't quite get it going the other way yet. He is sleeping really great too...around 8pm to 7:30am. We have been blessed with a great baby thank goodness!

3 Month Pictures

These are Grant's formal 3 month pictures. I just got the digital versions. Enjoy!

Almost 4 months old!

This is my latest trick....I can grab both of my feet but I always grab my left one first...hmmm

This is my new toy and I like it a lot so far
Bathtime! I like the warm wash clothes, ha ha

New Pics

I am 3 and a half months old now and my latest skill is rolling over from my tummy to my back. I think it is a lot of fun but then I want to be back on my tummy to sleep.....however I have to get help for that right now. Mommy and daddy are not enjoying having to come back in a flip me back over numerous times for naps and bedtime. We hope I can figure out how to go both ways soon....very soon!

Me and mommy watching my first USC game! And we won! I am serious about football already...can't you tell by my face, ha!

I had to change outfits because I spit up....good thing I had another Carolina shirt!
Trying out my walker.....I am starting to really like it. My feet barely touch the ground but I am sure that I can get it to move all over the place shortly.
Check out my Jumper.....I was still not comfortable in this yet but we will get there

Updates

Today, I rolled over for the first time from my stomach to my back! I am grabbing at my toys now too. I like to laugh at them now. We are hoping to get into the walker and my johnny jumper very soon.
I also started my first day of daycare, very sad. I only stayed for half a day and then my grandma came and rescued me. I did good but my mom was so sad to leave me! I only have to stay for half a day this week and then will start full days.

3 Months Old

I am 3 months old now officially! I weigh 14lb 3oz.....I am a big boy now! I have one more week until I start daycare, so sad. My daddy is staying home with me this week. I just started trying to roll over from front to back this week in my crib. I am almost there. My hair is starting to really grow now and is coming in much lighter then when I was born.

I tried to sit in my Bumbo chair but it is still a little early.

12 Weeks Old Today!

Can you believe it! I am 12 weeks old today. We had to go to the doctor unfortunately because I have in-grown fingernail. We got some ointment though and it should be better really soon. I now weigh over 13 pounds! I can hold my head up really good now...it should be steady in a couple more weeks. I am sleeping at least 11 hours a night too! I put up a fight for naptime but am getting better. Mommy goes back to work next week but I don't start daycare for 2 more weeks.
