The summer is coming to an end; only 2 more weeks until school starts again. We have most of the school supplies bought but still need to get some more clothes for Jeff. He is not that excited about going back and I hate to admit it but I'm sort of glad that it is starting soon. Is that a horrible thing to say?
I can't begin to explain how fast Grant is growing. He will be 12 weeks old this week and is wearing size 12 MONTH clothing!!!! I'm sure he is well over 15 lbs by now. He is able to roll from back to front (if he really wants to) although he hasn't figured out how to get his arm out from under him yet. We are also working on sitting up by himself and he can hold his head up really well. We do tummy time but he's not very patient with that. He is also learning how to use his hands and loves to hold and chew anything made of a cloth material. He has been drooling like crazy for at least a month but no signs of any teeth yet. I have a feeling we will be teething early. I know this sounds crazy but he is attempting to say words. I don't think he understands what the words mean of course but he tries to mimic words that we say to him. His word for Mama is 'ama' and the funniest thing he tried to say today was 'poo poo'. Yes it may be disgusting but he tried to say it! He seems to be trying out the 'p' sound. He tries to say that during his diaper change.
His sleep time is getting better too...well for us anyway. Jeff didn't sleep through the night until he was 3 years old so I don't expect good sleep patterns from Grant either. He sleeps 4-5 hours when I first put him to bed and then wakes up every 2 1/2 - 3 hours after that. But unlike his older brother he loves to snuggle at night. I have really enjoyed that. That may be the difference between a bottle fed and breastfed baby.
Grant's nickname is Go Boy. He loves to go...anywhere! Again, the complete opposite of his big brother. Jeff is a home body. And Grant loves to be outside. We go outside every morning to water the plants.
Although we haven't had much of a vacation this summer we have been sure to take time out for Jeff. Shane took him to a local water park and to the swimming pool several times. His grandparents have also taken him swimming and last week his aunt took him to Sea World. He loves to swim and to be around animals. Sea World has always been the perfect place for him. He is an animal lover! Both Shane and I are too so he comes by that honestly.
Hope everyone is doing well. Will post again soon!
