100 Days and Look What I Can Do!

Grant hit his 100 day mark on August 2 without quite the fanfare of our other two kids who were born overseas. In China, 100 days is a VERY important celebration. We served a full-course catered meal at Grace's party! Still, we didn't want to overlook Grant so we made him a cake.

Grant is doing great rolling over to his tummy and holding his head up. He likes to look around, but then he gets frustrated because he hasn't quite figured out how to roll back over.

 He loves his siblings and vice versa!

Happy 3 Months, Grant!

Happy three months to our little Tuber. We love you SO much!

This month you have learned so much. Yesterday, you rolled over onto your tummy for the first time. It took you SO much effort. You stayed there a few minutes then rolled back over. You haven't done it since. You can also sit in your Bumbo for a few minutes. One night you slept 11 hours 15 minutes through the night although you usually like to eat once around 4-5. We call it your Four O'clock Feast. You are enjoying having Grandma here this week. You sleep most soundly in your bed, but you sure do like to be held.

Happy Fifth Birthday, Grace!

Grace, we love you more than words can describe! We were so happy to celebrate with you today (even though it is still five days early). We're proud of your swimming, too. We are also thankful that God answered our prayers and the rain held off.

Happy Cow Appreciation Day 2014!

You know it's a good day when more restaurants are offering free food than your family has time to consume in the day. As bad as I regretted passing up on Seven-11's free slurpie day (to celebrate 7/11), we did carve out time Friday for our annual trek to Chick-fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day. We went all out with little Grant's costume even though he was the least aware person in the store.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy July 4th from our family to yours!

Grant's favorite way to spend the day!

First Pool Fun!

I've been chomping at the bit to give Grant his first pool experience for awhile now, and June 26 on his 9-week birthday we took the plunge in the baby pool at MacGills Commons. He LOVED it. I knew he would. He's loved water since his earliest tub baths. He is my first child who doesn't even mind getting his hair washed. I actually think he likes it.

Brother and Sister were happy to show him the ropes in the pool.

Getting out and dry was probably his least favorite part, but he certainly was a cutie. More water, please!
