Nana and Aunt Corie's visit

Grant's Nana and his Aunt Corie came to visit from Alabama last weekend.....he had a great time with them!! He played a ton and had a hard time winding down for naps because he was having so much fun! Until Monday morning (the day they left), I don't think he cried once when they picked him up or carried him.....that was a little bit of a surprise because he's been very clingy to me lately. For me, it was so nice being able to go take a shower, check my email, or get something done and know that he was having fun playing with somebody else!

On Friday night, Grant and Daddy got into what is best described as a shouting match! Grant learned how to make this quick, throaty "aahh" sound, and Dean mimicked him and said it back. Well, Grant did it again, then Dean did it again, on and on! It probably went on for two or three minutes, nonstop! Poor thing, Grant had a little bit of a hoarse voice the next day from all of that yelling!

And of course Nana enjoyed every minute she was able to hold and play with Grant....even when he wasn't very happy being changed! He woke up crying a lot at night, and she'd take him out of his crib and rock him back to sleep. I know she loved doing it, but it also helped us get some more sleep at night!

Here's a cute picture with Corie:

Taking a break from crawling for a minute:What's up here on the couch?? He's learning quickly how to pull himself up on furniture. Unfortunately, his favorite seems to be the marble coffee table in the living room!

Here he's doing his "bbbbbb" sound....his new favorite! I think he likes how his lips vibrate when he does it. We all went to the mall for a while on Saturday since it was so rainy, and he just kept buzzing and buzzing! People turned around to look at him and couldn't believe that a baby was making that noise! It is pretty cute and something I've never seen before!
