Sloan - 8 Weeks Old

Sloan is 8 Weeks Old now! She gave us a great gift last night and slept from 8:30pm to 6:30am! We are not sure this is a trend yet but have high hopes! She weighs 8lb 12 ounces now. She is starting to smile and coo a lot more now too.

Grant's Activities

We went to the Yellow River Game Ranch again and Grant loves it! The deer was tired of graham crackers below but Grant was determined to get her to eat it, lol! The deer are so friendly and tame.

Grant went to the Home Depot Kids program which is the first Saturday of every month. We built a snowman napkin holder. He got his apron with his name on it and a pin for finishing the class. He had so much fun that we will probably start going every month now.

Sloan is 7 Weeks Old

Sloan will be 7 weeks old tomorrow and is growing fast! She was 8lb 4oz last night. She is still eating around 4oz each feeding every 3 or 4 hours. Her sleeping is a bit inconsistent at this point. She goes down around 8:30 or 9pm and sleeps until at least 2am and sometimes until 4am or 5am. We are hoping to get her more consistent in the next couple of weeks as she gets bigger. Her hair is falling out so bows are not going to happen soon unfortunately. She has had some baby acne this past week too but it is starting to clear up finally. Her head is getting stronger each day and she is starting to coo some and smile.

Thanksgiving Fun!

Grant and I made a ginger bread house.....he almost ate so much of the candy that we had little left to decorate, lol!

Grant loved this trailor for some reason!

Santa - Round 2

Grant got to see Santa again this year! We were trying out another Santa that we don't have to go through hoops to get an appointment to see. This one was great so we will be going back next year. Grant told Santa that he wanted a car again.

Santa and Sloan is 1 Month Old

We had our Santa appointment at Phipps Plaza this week. For those not in Atlanta, this is a crazy process of getting to see Santa (you have to get an appointment and they fill up super fast). Grant LOVED Santa this year! He went right up to him and got in his lap. When we were walking in the mall to get to Santa, there were several cars displayed inside. Grant kept saying "car inside, how do they do that!" When he sat on Santa's lap, he told him that he wanted a "blue car inside the house!". It was really funny and Santa was really confused! Sloan threw her hands up right when they took the picture....I think Santa was intimidated by her small size to be honest.

Sloan is now 1 month old! We had her appointment this morning. She is definitely playing catch up nicely. She is now 7lb 3 ounces (10th percentile) and 19 3/4 inches long (10th percentile). She has grown a lot in a month and hopefully will keep it up. Everything else was perfect with her.

Grant Visits The Pink Pig

Grant and I went to ride the Pink Pig! It is at Lenox Mall now on the top of the parking deck at Macys. He LOVED sitting in the pig's lap (I scanned in that picture so it is not that clear, sorry). We had to go and say bye bye to her before we could leave. The staff all thought that was really funny. Grant also loved the ride...we had to go twice! It was cold too.....around 45 degrees and there is no heat inside the tent that the ride is in, wow!

Officially 3 Weeks Old

Sloan is now 3 weeks old! She is now drinking 4 ounces at a time; we are not sure where it goes since she is so small. She now weighs 6lb 11oz so we are knocking on the door to 7lbs! She slept last night from 10pm to 4:30am, got up, drank 4oz and slept until 9am! We are hoping this just keeps getting better and she will be snoozing through the night in no time!

Go Gamecocks! Sloan got some Gamecock gear from the people I work with!







Michael came to visit and Grant took full advantage....they played almost the entire time!

Daddy/Daughter sleep time!

Happy Halloween!

Meow! Sloan in her little cat outfit!
