Christmas 2013 - your 1st Christmas!

 You woke up bright and early Christmas morning!

 Happy Baby 

 We were trying to get a picture of you but you were much more interested in the presents! 

 You and your stocking - Santa brought you a teether toy

 Christmas at Grammy's

 

 This was actually the first gift you opened for Christmas!

Christmas at BeBop and Pop Pop's house:

 You are sitting in your Greatgrandmother Gabby's rocker, which she received for Christmas when she was 2 years old.  She was so proud to see you in it!

 BeBop and Pop Pop gave you a fun toy!

December 2013

 You started sitting in a Bumbo chair!  It is so fun to see you getting bigger and stronger every day.  You love sitting up and looking around!

 When we went to Cincinnati for Christmas you sat in an exersaucer for the first time and you LOVED it!  You're getting so big!

 You also had solid food for the first time - a mushed up banana!

 You liked it!

 You just love your Daddy.

My sweet boy.

 You and Daddy

 1st Christmas!

 You fell asleep holding your ball--adorable.

 Griffin and Grace love crawling in the co-sleeper with you!

 They decorated you with Christmas lights and you surprisingly enjoyed it!

Love.

Grant,

I went back to work last week and it was nearly impossible to say goodbye to you.  I love you so much buddy, and I miss you all day long.  Your Grammy is watching you while I'm at work and you seem to be doing well.  You love to be talked to these days and it is the best thing to come home to - you just laugh and smile when we talk to you.  I want you to know how hard it was to leave you for work each morning and how much I look forward to seeing you when I get home.  The time away from you during the day has made me treasure my time with you so much.  I wish I could bottle it up and keep you little forever; but I know you'll be on the move before I know it.  I love holding you, hearing your squeal, nursing you, and singing to you.  You're the best buddy!

Love you,
Mama
