Enjoying my family











It's hard to believe that Grant is going on 6 weeks old!...I want him to stay a baby forever since he will be our last one unless God has other plans for us, of course. At 4 weeks we found that he has reflux and has been taking Prevacid to treat it. Poor baby; he's been a real trooper through it and the medicine has helped tremendously. We don't have the luxury of feeding him and putting him right to bed. He has to sit up for about 20 minutes after eating. He is able to hold his head up for a while longer each week and has already started smiling. Talk about making your heart melt! I love those smiles!!!!
Jeffrey has been a great big brother to him. At first he didn't know how to react towards Grant but as Grant is getting older Jeff has warmed up to him a bit. Especially since Grant is more aware of his surroundings.

We've made a few trips to Nana and Papa's house which is about 2 hours away. The road to their house has many twists and turns and he seems to get a bit car sick and does not like the car seat that well. What baby does like a car seat, right? But each trip over there seems to get easier.
More to come!

4 weeks old

Grant will be 4 weeks old this Thursday! Where has the time gone? It amazes me how such a tiny little person can bring such dramatic changes to a household...but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
At 2 weeks Grant weighed 9 lbs 3 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long which means he gained 11 oz and grew 1 1/2 inches since leaving the hospital. Here are some pics.
