Drew is 3 months! ......and an update on Grant.....

Our little guy is three months old today! He is making lots of noises and loves when people look at him....but he likes Mommy and other ladies more than he seems to like men! He hasn't quite laughed yet, but yesterday when I'd surprise him and make a funny noise, he'd smile and say "haaaa." He's still not on a great schedule with sleeping.....he's not nearly as consistent as Grant was at this age. He usually gets 6-7 hour stretches at night, but that means he sometimes wakes up at 3am to eat (depending on what time I last fed him). And until a few days ago, he'd usually get one good 1+ hour nap per day (plus some shorter ones), but for the past couple of days he's taken all very short naps! I hope this is just a stage!

Here are some recent pictures of my little sweetie!


We hung Christmas ornaments about 10 days ago, and Grant had a great time! He loved this school bus ornament we got last year.....he thought it was a toy and kept riding it around his railroad tracks. We had a few ornament casualties.....we're learning to put the more breakable ones up high, out of his reach! Grant is having fun this Christmas season. He loves pointing out (and naming) Christmas trees, snowmen, Santa, gingerbread houses, presents and other things when he sees them. He was talking with our neighbor Brynna the other night, and she asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas. He said, "cereal bar." So he doesn't completely understand the concept of Santa.....next year I'm sure it will be a different story!

Here we are at Grant's Christmas party for school last week. It's always fun seeing him interact with other kids in his class.....and I was happy to see that other kids spit out their half-chewed up food too! Maybe that's where Grant learned how to do that??!Grant has now been sleeping in his toddler bed for seven nights. It's been a bumpy ride, but I think he's finally getting used to it. The past few nights he hasn't woken up at all! It was really funny.....the second night we tried it, Dean was downstairs about five minutes after putting him to bed. He heard a noise and went to find Grant playing at his train table (which is downstairs), very quietly! Such a sneaky little kid!
