Caught on video, Grant playing with his toys!

Caught on video Grant playing with his toys! He's so sweet! I put him on the boppy last night and he went nuts on his toys. I ran to grab the camera to video him playing. He was concentrating so hard. Last night he went to bed at about 9-9:30pm and slept all night! Ok I'll quit bragging about my baby boy.. :)

Happy Monday!

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend! Saturday Scott and I went shopping with Grant. We bought a sling for me to wear him around in, Grant LOVES it! I'll take a pic of him in it. I was walking around the house satuday with him sleeping in it. We also bought one for Scott to wear for walks, his is more manly. LOL!

Grant hit a milestone yesterday! We had him laying on a play mat and he was reaching and kicking at the toys! I have never seen him so excited! It was so funny to watch. Then when I gave him his bath last night he splashed up a storm. I think he's figured out how to kick his little legs like crazy.

I 'll leave you with this picture of cuteness! Have a great week!

Happy 2 days after your Birthday Olivia!

I had him on the floor by our door with all the windows, I was trying to capture his eye color, they have changed a little! :)

Crazy hair!

Grant really is in an awesome night routine. I give him a bath then give him his last bottle between 10-11p.m. I'll rock him then he is out for the night! Last night after his bath, I put some lotion in his hair to help his scalp, he looked like a wild man!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This morning I dressed Grant for daycare and took some pictures of him in his St. Patrick's Day onsie! Thank you Aunt Julie for the cute onsie!

Spit-up

How could a baby so cute spit up so much??!! Bubby has serious spit-up issues. He spits up all the time, sometimes even his whole bottle and other times he won't spit up at all. His poor daycare ladies have to change his outfit all the time. His 2 month appointment was March 6th and at his appointment we talked to his doctor about him spitting up. She really didn't seem to concerned because he is growing and gaining weight, but she did say that we could try rice cereal in his bottle. Scott bought him some rice cereal and we tried a little in his bottle last night. I took some cereal in to his daycare today for them. The morning lady (i really should learn her name) was really excited and seemed optimistic that this would help him spit-up less. I think at this point they are ready to try anything. I anxious to find out how he did with his feedings today!

Grant's first play date

Monday March 9, 2009 Grant, Scott and I met Shawn and Bekkah at "the Playground" in Ankeny. Shawn takes Bekkah there on Monday nights to play indoors. It is such a cool place, they have indoor playground equipment and these huge blown up play things you can crawl through, bounce in and slide on. I had so much fun running around the place with Bekkah!

Kevin's 28th Birthday

We met Casey and Kevin at Iowa Beef in Des Moines for Kevin's Birthday Party. Kevin had his sister and her family there with our family for a big party. The food was awesome, we all had huge steaks. I'll have to have Case send me some of her pictures because I didn't even get any pictures of her and Kevin with my camera!! After dinner Me, Grant, Joe, Megan, Areigna, Mark, and Scott all went to Casey and Kevin's house to hangout. Joe downloaded Super Mario brothers onto their Wii. It was so much fun! Meanwhile I checked out Casey's babyroom updates! She has her babyroom all decked out! I need to get some pics of that for the blog too! We missed mom at the party, but she had to work.

Grant and Buzz's professional photo shoot

March 1, 2009 we had Christa with Houndstooth Photography take pictures of our 2 boys. Below are the pictures that she took! The photoshoot went fairly smoothly. Buzz was a little diva, he didn't want his picture taken on Christa's hardwood floor. Then Grant had a snack break and neither one of them wanted to have their picture taken together! I love how all of the pictures turned out!! Thank you so much Houndstooth Photography www.houndstoothphoto.photoreflect.com!!

Grant's first visit to Riverside

Feburary 12, Me, Mom, Casey and Kevin all went to visit Grandma Malmburg in Riverside. We met at Casey's house and rode together in Mom's car. This was Kevin's last trip with us because when Casey has her baby Kevin won't fit in the car, or maybe mom will buy a van to tote all of her grandkids around in. :) Grant was so good that day! He was smiling for grandma. I only took a couple of pictures, mom took more with her camera, maybe sometime she will send those to me. :) We had a really nice time visiting with Grandma, her neighbor Nisha came over to see the baby. Grandma made some delicious chili for us and took us to visit her horses and see all the progress Grandpa has made on the barn. Grant can't wait to visit again!

Grant getting ready for daycare this morning

Grant is so funny when he's trying to wake up in the morning, he stretches forever. Ususally we have to wake him up during the week to get him ready. This morning we got him up at 7:15am. I could hear Scott getting him ready and he had fallen back asleep on the changing table so I had Scott video the wake-up process. This is a typical morning for Grant.
