Grant's Trademark

Grant was born with a head full of hair. Pretty much everything on the sides has fallen out, but we still have a frohawk (sp?) up the middle. If we comb it, we get a major comb over. It's cute, but it was getting so long we finally cut it. But, Nick and I had to play first. We tried gel and hairspray and couldn't really get it to stand strait up, but here are our attempts. Oh, and because I can't figure this out, they are in reverse chronology. Our handsome little man
I make Daddy do the hard part

He he he. It's so fun to torture him!

A few weeks ago... the perfect example of why we needed to cut it.

Grant and Santa

Last weekend, we lent Grant to my Mom's friend to play with. Her husband was Santa for the morning so they took pictures. I'm so happy that Grant is actually smiling!

Did someone say chocolate?

My mom came last week to make truffles with me. Nick thought he would share a truffle with Grant. I'm afraid that we're creating a monster, who will have nothing to do with vegetables when we introduce them next week. Why eat peas when Daddy give you licorice and yummy truffles!?

Our little sitter

Grant's newest thing is sitting up. I love it! I finally put away his bouncer and his little mat that he just lays on and grabs the toys. He is rolling all over the place. This morning, I wasn't paying attention after changing his diaper and he rolled off the couch. Oops! He loves to sit up and watch the dog. Lily can't help but give him lots (and lots) of kisses. Poor baby.

Yum! Celery...

So, all the way back on Thanksgiving (its been a little busy around here), Aunt Bonnie sat Grant in this adorable little chair and Grandma gave him a piece of celery to munch on. He was as happy as a clam but wouldn't have anything to do with his oatmeal that day. Hum, I wonder why?

Happy 65th Grandma and Grandpa!

On October 25th, my grandparents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. On the 23rd, we went to Roseville to celebrate with them. It was a neat experience to see them renew their vows. They have been through a lot together and I feel very blessed to be able to be part of their posterity, with a legacy of 65+ years of marriage.

When they first got engaged, Grandpa sent this picture to his mom, who was living in Ohio. When she got the picture, she hopped on the next train to San Francisco to figure out what kind of floozy her son was marrying.

Halloween

Grant got to be a pumpkin for Halloween. We almost missed Trunk-or-Treat because Grant fell asleep like 30 minutes before it started. It was one of those nights when it was good that he was Mr. Cat Napper.
