Grant is three months old

As you can see by the video, Grant is getting so big and showing his personality more and more every day. We love hearing him talk. It is amazing watching this little person find his voice and unfortuately his thumb. Yes, Grant has been sucking his thumb!!! I have woken up in the middle of the night over the past week to the sound of sucking instead of crying to let me know that he is hungry. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to stop, please let me know. Grant is three months old now and weighs about 17lbs. At this rate, he is going to grow out of his car seat in the next two to three months.


We are going to Scotti and Clay's annual Halloween party this Saturday. Grant looks so cute in his costume. He is a sweet, little dragon. I am trying to talk Tim into being a my Knight in Shining Armour, and I would be his Princess. At this point, I have been unable to convince him. Last year, Tim was a Mummy and won the top prize as Scotti's party. Hopefully, we will get some good pictures of Grant to post.

Grant Talking to Mommy!

Grant, Mimi, & the Razorbacks

We had a great time this weekend. Mimi (my mom) came up for a visit this weekend. We shopped and ran around on Saturday. Tim & I had our first night out since Grant came. We went to dinner and to a birthday party for our friends Leslie & Sherry. It was nice to get out, but it was also awesome to get back home and hold our sweet boy. Tim & I were arguing over who got to hold him first. . . Daddy won this time.

We were rooting hard for our Hogs this weekend, but they were not able to keep it together in the end. We already have Grant calling the Hogs and singing the fight song--well, not really, but we are trying to teach him early.

Grant & Mommy

Mr. Big is very big!!!

We went to the Doctor this week for Grant's two month check-up. He weighs 14 pounds and 10 ounces and is 24 and 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 95th percentile for growth in both height and weight. If you have not seen him in person then you will be amazed when you do as he just does not look like a typical two month old.

Grant is smiling and cooing all the time. It is amazing how quickly he is growing & changing, and how fast time has flown by. I will be returning to work on Monday for half days and full time the following week. I am ready and not ready at the same time. I have only been away from Grant twice since he was born, so I know that Monday is going to be difficult. I am confident that he will benefit greatly by going to school and being around other kids. I told him that I would try not to embarrass him too badly on Monday. Wish me luck. . .
