Growing so fast

Saturday, April 17, 2010

Grant is growing so fast! All of his newborn clothes and diapers are getting a little snug. :o) He is smiling at us more and more everyday when he hears our voice. In our Kindermusik classes together, he stays awake and looks around; soaking every bit of it up. Everyone says he's going to be a pianist when they see his long, cute fingers. His little head is constantly being kissed on by mommy, daddy, big brothers, grandparents, aunt, and cousins. That's what babies faces are for, right?! He is still spitting up and having trouble with reflux, especially in late afternoon. We still give him Zantac every morning and night, but it doesn't seem to help much. Someone had mentioned that we should let an infant-experienced chiropractor take a look at him. I think we will give that a try Monday. He is still sleeping pretty good, only waking up once between 9:30ish pm and 6 am. We think that's pretty good for a 5-wk old! He loves going for a ride in the car; the rumble of the car seems to soothe him. That's good, considering we spend a lot of time traveling as we take his older brothers from place-to-place.

Our church gave us an INCREDIBLE baby shower this past Saturday. We were amazed at all of the many gifts we received, even before, and now after the shower. It was decorated beautifully and the ladies were sooooo sweet. I think I've counted 89 gifts so far! I don't think little Grant will want for a thing, for a long time to come. God is so good to bless us with not only a beautiful baby boy, but with incredible friends and family in which to share him with. We look forward to the new things he does next week!
