Spring is here!

Spring is finally here!!! March came and went and April is almost gone already, which is absolutely insane. This Easter was spent with my side of the family as traveling gets to be a little too crazy with a little one. We missed the Meader side but we will switch and spend all of Thanksgiving with them! Easter was fun though, the food was great and Grant was able to spend a lot of QT with his great aunts and uncles. Since he's getting a little bigger now he wasn't sleeping 90% of the time and doesn't get as overwhelmed with a lot of people like he used to a few months ago. We went to church with Nana, my mom & dad, brother, and Aunt Patty and Lisa. Grant's first church experience wasn't bad at all! He was very well-behaved, I have to say Andrew and I lucked out with a pretty easy baby :) He is getting so big! He is almost 7 months and has quite the personality these days. He's sitting up himself, holding his bottle, blabbing away and reaching for everything in sight! He really is such a joy to be around, always smiling and laughing :) I can't believe how fast time is flying by! We'll be in the lake in a few short months teaching the little bugger how to swim! We just recently got a hiking back pack for both Grant and Kahlua. Those should be fun to use... Andrew will carry Grant around and Kahlua will carry her own water. Can't wait to take pictures of that adventure, that's what excites us these days. He's been tooling around in his walker, learning that he can get from point A to point B with just few shuffles. Pretty soon he's going to be outsmarting the both of us! I will leave you with some pictures! Can't wait to post some from the warmer weather and hopefully we will get some on a hike soon! xoxo

Laughing Boy

Here's a little preview for March. Grant is definitely developing his own little personality these days, he's laughing, blowing bubbles, talking and all other kinds of fun things. Here's a little video taken March 5th, he has never laughed this hard up until this point! So funny.

I cannot believe that February has come and is almost gone! I feel like it has flown by! I am sad to report that we were NOT Superbowl winners, I know everyone is already well aware but this is for documenting purposes and I'd like to document my disappointment and sadness. Grant is doing great, officially 5 months and growing like crazy! He had a doctor appointment this month and he is weighing in at 17lbs 26in and is in the 75th percentile as far as weight goes, 50th for height. The doctor said that she thinks he's going to be sitting up sometime soon at 5 months! He's eating solids like a champ. Carrots and pears being his favorites. He's been eating for about a month now and let me tell you it has totally helped in the sleeping department. I'm only really waking up once to feed and change him now which is great! He's a little love.

 As far as the rest of February goes, Andrew and I went on our first snowboarding extravaganza together. (Andrew has went a few times this season, but it was my first!) The last time I tried snowboarding was right after our wedding... it's been awhile but I had fun! This winter has been so incredibly mild we haven't been able to really take advantage of winter(ly) activities. It's making me want summer to come with a quickness! I will leave you with a few pictures from February and a video. Until next month! Hopefully I will have more to report :) Hope everyone is well, sending lots of love to all of you!

A couple cute things from January

So it's still January and I said I would post again in February but this just couldn't wait. Yesterday I had a really long day at work and Grant got to spend time with both his grandmothers. Meme came over first and told me that Grant was bouncing himself to sleep and it was the funniest thing. Later, his other (un-named) grandmother came over and said the same thing! We have it on video and it's probably the cutest/funniest thing yet. He just couldn't fight it...



 Another thing that happened this month is we started feeding G solids! That's right, he's eating apples, carrots, and oatmeal cereal so far. I've been making his food with my Beaba food processor... it's actually FUN for me! I just thought you would enjoy seeing Grant eat some carrots... ENJOY!
