Happy 6 Month Birthday Grant!! Kind of...


























First of all thank you Josh and Amber for the precious "Grant" onesies!!! We love them!!

Now Grant doesn't actually turn 6 months until tomorrow, but we have a really busy day. So I am posting the long post now, and will post a quick post tomorrow of his 6 month pics I will take in the morning.

Ok I am going to steal this idea from Mere, and probably every other mom out there, but I am going to list all the things Grant is doing up to this point. So here we go...

  • You drool uncontrollably. I am ALWAYS thinking you are getting your first tooth and the doctor ALWAYS tells me you are not!
  • You are a baby who thinks he is a toddler.
  • You have always slept through the night since we have had you! You rock!!!:)
  • You started crawling when you were 4 months/2weeks old
  • 2 weeks after crawling you pulled up in your bed on your knees, and 3 DAYS after that you pulled up in your crib to your feet. Then you pulled up on everything!!
  • You got your first baby cold when you were 5 months, but thankfully it was the weekend we were going out of town so I got to give you Benadryl and you slept awesome:) Is that bad to say?
  • Last week you started to mumble da-da-da-da. You really aren't saying dada, you really are just mumbling, or that is what I like to tell myself!
  • Also last week, as seen in the pic after the Grant onesies, you are trying to stand up, but realize you can't since YOU ARE STILL A BABY!!
  • You sit up now without falling over.
  • You found your squeal and love to use it!
  • You get excited now when your daddy comes home from work. You love to laugh and play with him.
  • We know without a doubt that God gave you to us, and for that we are eternally grateful!
  • You make me smile every morning when I go get you out of bed, and I continue to smile the rest of the day because you are such a joy! We are so blessed to have you in our lives. I remember about 6 years ago when I began thinking about my future children, I began praying these verses for you then, and will continue to do so... "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:9-14
  • We love you Ba-Ba (Grant)!!
