Brotherly Love

Gabe is quite the involved big brother.  He is constantly aware of what's going on with "baby gwant".  He loves to help out with diaper changes, and then climb up on the chair next to him while he wiggles around.  Here are some shots of the 2 of them together yesterday.

Chunky boy!

Today Grant had his 1 month appointment.  He weighs 11 pounds 4 ounces, and is 22 inches long.  That puts him gaining 3 pounds and 3 inches in only 1 month!  WOW!  I must produce butter!!  The Doctor was impressed with his weight gain and says he is a very healthy boy.  He had 1 shot today and only cried for a minute.  He is in the 86th percentile for weight and 68th percentile for height.   I think he's one of the easiest and sweetest little babies ever.  He sleeps wonderfully at night (I said AT, not through!) and puts up with his big brother mauling him multiple times a day to show his affection.  Grant is going to be one tough little boy!

 

1 month old

Grant turned 1 month old today.  I can hardly believe it's been a month already!  Time flies when you're sleep deprived!  :)  He's been such a wonderful baby and I sure love having him in our family.  What better way to celebrate a 1 month birthday than in your birthday suit?  :)  And for comparison, the top photo is Gabe at 1 month old.  (Would you have known if I didn't tell you?  They sure look alike!)

Love that smile!

He still has him umbilical cord

Daddy's Boy

I'm convinced that Grant looks more like Michael every day.  (Lucky boy!)  Here's little Grant spending some time with daddy this morning.

Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

We recently enjoyed a wonderful visit from my parents, who came to help out with the birth of Grant.  Gabe had a great time building block towers with Grandpa, and playing with Grandma just about all day long.  Here's some pictures of the great tower that Grandpa built with Gabe, using every block we could find.  It was almost as tall as Grandpa!  And of course, more cute pictures of our favorite chunky monkey!  Thanks for a great visit Grandma & Grandpa!
