November - getting bigger every day!

At 3 months old, November was a big month for you!  It seems you woke up a bit more this month and started interacting a lot more.  

Here we are at a park - you're such a trooper!

 You started sitting in the Bumbo!  It has made us all so happy - Griffin and Grace love being able to talk to you in it, you love being able to sit on the counter while we cook dinner, and it's nice to be able to put your down every once in awhile!  You really do enjoy it though!

 I love this picture of you - you look so happy!  Ironically we were at the doctor; I took you because you randomly started crying around-the-clock and I could tell you were in pain.  Dr. Staerz said you have reflux and you've been much happier since we started you on medicine.  It was weird that you developed it around 3 months old, but she said she thinks it's because of a shot you received at your 2 month appointment messing with your intestines somehow.  

 You started paying more attention to toys  and love the gym mat thing!

 You just love to be talked to!

You moved into a crib and look so small in it!  

Thanksgiving - my biggest blessing!

Here we are on Thanksgiving - you are on the top of my Thankful list Grant!!  Your smile fills us with such joy!

3 months old

Dear Grant,

You are three months old and really couldn't be any cuter!  You are growing up so fast ... you're outgrowing your three month clothes, sitting in the bumbo chair, playing independently under the gym mat toy, and cooing and singing to us!

You're still eating about every three hours and napping quite a bit.  We have you on Zantac now for reflux and you're a bit happier now with that.

My favorite times with you are when you're alert and happy - you get so delighted when we talk to you.  It makes me think you're going to be a social little guy, and so far you're proving to be pretty easy-going too.

At your 3 month appointment, you did great.  You weight 12 lbs. 3 oz. (50th percentile) and your length was in the 90th percentile - you're long!

We love you Grant!

Your 1st Halloween

Grant,

You were a bumblebee for Halloween, mostly because it was a warm costume! 

 You slept through most of the evening, but looked cute doing it. 

You  joined us Trick-or-treating and had a bottle along the way : )

Rolling over and sitting in the Bumbo!

Dear Grant,

Today you rolled over from your tummy to back for the first time!  It completely surprised me.  I laid you on your tummy while I was running your bath and turned around a second later to see you on your back - you looked a little stunned!

You also sat in the Bumbo for the first time tonight - a big deal - this means you can sit up with some support and look around!  You seem to really like it, and Griffin and Grace love being able to play with you while you're in the Bumbo!

You are growing up so fast Grant!

Love you!

Your first flight

Grant,

You took your first flight November 8, 2013.  You and I flew to Iowa to celebrate Gabby's 90th birthday.  You did great on the flight!

 You slept most of the flight but were all smiles when you woke up!

 Meeting Gabby 

 You and BeBop ... you love mirrors!

Jordan and Peyton were excited to hold you!
