Milestones

Another week gone by and more milestones for our family. A big milestone to celebrate is that I am now an official stay at home mom. Praise God that we were given this opportunity. I don't know how we are able to do it financially but through God all things are possible. Faith is what we are living on. I stayed home with Jeffrey during his first 5 months of life and went back to work up until Grant was born, so it has been at least 7 years in between that period of time. Wow...what an adjustment. Let's just say that I have so much respect for SAHM's (Stay At Home Moms). It is a 24/7 job but the rewards are way better than anything earned at a job outside the home. :)



Only about a month left of summer break and school will start again. I don't think either Jeff or myself is ready for it to start. It will be a challenge to get Jeff up for school while at the same time taking care of Grant. Luckily Jeff is old enough to get himself dressed but it takes some effort to get him out of bed. We'll see how that goes. Grant will be 3 months old so maybe it will be easier by then.



Grant's personality is really starting to come out during these last few weeks. He is such a sweety. Yesterday he giggled for the first time...while he was awake. He has been giggling in his sleep for a while (so cute!). And he sure knows who Mom is. If anybody else is holding him for a while and he finally sees me his bottom lip will pucker and he starts crying. Oh...makes me feel terrible. Our nights are not very restful right now. He wakes up every hour to eat! I hope it will pass soon! He now weighs a whopping 14 lbs; 95 percentile in weight. Pretty common with our kids. Jeff has been such an awesome big brother and a great helper to me. He and Grant like to 'talk' and Jeff is always commenting on how cute Grant is. Jeff isn't interested in holding him but he will sit and play with Grant.

I have some recent pictures to post and will try to get them on the blog when I have more time.
