Another Month!

I can't believe it's already been another month!!  Grant was two months old last Friday.  We've been keeping him really busy!


On his two month birthday, he had a doctor's appointment and had to get shots.  It was so sad!  He did great even though he got a fever and wasn't feeling well for the next few days...it's really just heartbreaking!
Grant was really loving these stuffed zebras.
A few facts about Grant:
*He weighs 13 lbs. 6 oz., is 24 in. long and is in the 90% percentile for height, weight and head circumference.  We had no idea he'd gotten so big!  He's almost doubled his birth weight already!
*He's been smiling!!-someday we'll get it on camera.
*He's cooing and 'talking' to us.  It's so much fun!  He can totally make your day with his happy little face! (SEE VIDEO BELOW)
*He's been SUCH a good baby!  He's been sleeping well, eating well and all around has a really good disposition.  He hardly ever makes a fuss (which makes giving him shots that much more heart-breaking).
Thursday, Grant had his first paying gig.  My brother's medical school was learning how to do infant assessments and they needed babies to come so the students could interact and hear a babies' heartbeat and breath sounds, etc.  Grant lived up to his name and did great!  They all loved him and he sat still and was good for everyone to get a turn listening and interacting with him.

 Last week we took another trip to Round Valley and it was so much fun to see everyone!  Having Grant is nice because everyone really loves having us around now. :)
Uncle Chase, Grandma and Grandpa Goodman and Grant.
Grandma Velda and Grant had several heart to hearts...I caught them in one of them.
Uncle Dal!-Dallin told Grant he loved him and Grant squeaked back which we took to mean he loves him back.
Uncle Ry and Grant are buddies.  I love this pic!

Grant went to church for the first time this trip.  He's so dashing in his sweater-vest!
Back to Mesa
February was also Grant's Best Buddy Molli's birthday. You wouldn't think a baby and an adult could be best friends but they really are.  They both always get so excited to see each other and have already seen each other through some rough times.  Grant's first big smile was while hanging out with Molli.
Happy Birthday Molli!
When you get shots, it's nice to have a pal like Molli to make you feel better!
We're so lucky Mike's gotten so much time off so we can spend these first couple months together as a family.  It has been awesome!  Life with our little Grant in it is ten times better than we could've ever hoped for!  Here are a few more random pictures of what we do with these days we've been getting to spend with him:
Another of his funny faces-he's not quite sure what to think...
Love hangin' out with this little guy!
He's finally big enough (and now almost too big) to wear the onesie I gave Mike in this video.
And I had a matching shirt and couldn't resist 'cause I'm lame!

Mike and Grant go for a walk every day.  Mike is the best dad!  I go with them from time to time but it's fun to see them walking off together.
They are pals!
Sort of a smile...I LOVE this little man!!

Awe shucks. I loved the part about me and Grant being best buddies! Cause we ARE! Haha. I really do love that little man and I don't know if I could've made it through my tough times without him! He's pretty much the cutest, sweetest thing ever... and I can't wait for the next time I get to hold him! :) Thanks for sharing him with me. He's always the highlight of my day!

He is so cute! And so lucky to be Molli's best bud. I can't believe he's so old now!
