Happy Boy!

So the bibs have come out of the drawers recently to help catch the excess drool and spit-up. Grant really loves this puppy bib, and he just looks so darn cute in it!

Grant is really enjoying his baths now that we are using a bath sponge instead of the baby tub. He prefers to lay on the nice, warm sponge instead of kicking himself all over his hard tub, and we enjoy the smiling and absence of screaming. I think Grant's favorite part of bath time is afterward when he gets to put on his Obe Wan Kenobi outfit.

In his spare time Grant enjoys a little reading.

Hair-twirling must be genetic! This is one of Grant's favorite positions: right hand in the mouth, left twirling the hair. At least Ryan doesn't suck on his hand while twirling his hair.

Rachael and Issac Hemmert came over and the boys had fun looking at each other, about the extent of their playing. It was cute to see them laying by each other and looking at the same toys.

Grant had his first real smile around 5-6 weeks and has since become very proficient at it. He loves when you repeat the sounds he makes and talk to him. Needless to say there are many baby noises being made in our house because we love to see him happy. Grant's blessing was the first Sunday of this month and some of our family made a long trip to be here for it. My parents, sister, niece and nephew came as well as Ryan's brother and sister. It was fun for them to be here for the blessing and to hang out for a little while.  

Grant is now basically 2 months old and has started to become interested in things beside nursing and being held. He has really started to enjoy laying in this play pen and looking at the hanging animals (thanks to the Robinson's for letting us borrow it!) He was even content to lay in there while I showered one day, enabling me to take more than a two minute shower!

We took a family picture before church today because we thought Grant looked so cute in his little overalls.

Grant loves to be held out like this so he can see what's going on. If you try to put him up to your shoulder he will just push back with his arms and squirm until you move him. I thought this was such a cute picture of Grant and Ryan, he just loves his dad.

I think he was dreaming about some delicious milk in this picture. Don't mind the diaper in the background, it was on its way to the trash.
