Watching Gavin take the tball field tonight has this momma a bit sentimental and wondering how can he be old enough. Looking back through pictures tonight just adds to it....man I better start snapping more pictures because Gavin and Grant are changing so much each day!

Grant 2 Months

At two months Grant Everett: 

• goes to bed around 8:30 PM, wakes between 1-3 AM to nurse, and goes back to sleep until around 6:30/7 AM
• is on a very flexible eat, play, sleep routine
• can easily nap in the swing, in the front carrier, or in his pack 'n play. He is hit or miss on the car seat.
• has a specific little cry that says...I'm tired.
• has really started cooing and smiling at us a lot over the last two weeks
• is loved very much by his big brother. Sometimes a little too physically.
• is pretty strong and has been at holding up his head. Enjoys time on his play mat but not necessarily on his belly.
• is wearing 0-3 month and 3 month clothing and size 2 diapers. Outgrowing some of his 0-3 month clothes already.
• continues to be a very laid back, sweet baby boy  

 At his doctor's appointment, Grant weighted 12 lbs 11 ounces (69%), 24" (82%) in length, and 12" (63%) in head circumference. In the doctor's words, he's just perfect!

Braves Game

Matt has been keeping Gavin busy over the last few weeks as we were waiting for Grant and adjusting to having a baby brother. He's been golfing, braves game, swimming and lots more.

The week of the 4th Papa and Matt took Gavin to the game where he got two baseballs. One from the Braves pitching coach as he was walking to the dugout and then a foul ball hit by Jason Heyward to say he had a blast is an understatement. Plus Matt added to his collection by buying him a new bat.

Little Golfer

Grant 1 Month

Can't believe a month has already passed with this sweet little guy.

At one month Grant:

• is usually content unless he is hungry or wet
• loves the paci to sooth him when he is tired or has the hiccups
• has started to sleep a long stretch from 8 pm for 4 to 5 hours then followed by another 3 hour stretch
• still working to predict a day time schedule looks like he has a long morning nap
• weighed in at 9 pounds 15 ounces
• has gotten baby acne
• loves to sleep on my chest
• has started to notice his mobile on the swing and enjoys spending time stretched out
• is still sleeping in our room with the sound machine
• definitely knows his big brother and when he is around

Here are a few more pictures from Grant's first month.

Grant's First Week

Grant is finally here...

Lots of family came to visit at the hospital. Matt's grandmother holding Grant for the first time.

 Daddy watching over Grant as he bakes on the lights to fight jaundice.

Ready to go home. Mommy has mixed emotions so ready to be at home but loving our nurse.

Forgot how tiny they look in the car seat for the first time...

Grant in the swing for the first time....

Grant is already really alert. Here he is listening to Papa Golden.
