(This pic is ironic, because Grant doesn't really sit up much yet, but just slouches over his diaper and chunky tummy. But we like the picture!)
It's been nice so far to have this week "off" from school. "Off," of course, is a term of art - it means "not in class," not "no studying." With finals right around the corner and the rough draft of my note due for law review soon, there's no time to take a true vacation, but that's okay - it's still nice to have the extra time.
In honor of having the extra time, and the fact that Grant is growing pretty fast, we decided to get some family portraits taken yesterday evening. Of course Murphy's law was in full effect. We had Grant's nap schedule all mapped out so he would be in a good mood for the pictures, but no dice. We had hoped to get him down at around 4:30-5:00 so he would sleep around an 1-1.5 hrs and be good for our 7:00 appointment, but we couldn't get him down till 6:00 and had to leave at 6:30 - so he was a little tired when we got into the studio. In spite of that, we feel pretty good about the pictures, because we managed to trick him into smiling a couple of times. But this meant KaraLee & I had to freeze smiles for like 10 minutes. But we're happy to get the pictures and memorialize our little family. (We've include samples in this post)

Waaaaay cute!
Great pictures!! I can't get over how old Grant is looking. You would think that since I see him often, I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, and great sitting up skills, Grant!
Grant looks too happy to be a tired baby! Cute pictures! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Great post. We had to update my blog which has caused the URL to it to become corrupted (i.e. the link to our site from your site no longer works). Change it to web.mac.com/watkinses (that is of course if you still want us linked to your site)
Thanks
Steph and Eli
Wow this is the first time that I've seen Grant. He is so cute. I'm glad you found our blog so we can stay intouch. Your pictures look so fun, I love the one of you all in the snow.
It looks like there is going to be stiff competition between Chris and Grant for who's hairline is further back. My money is on Grant....he looks like a competitor.
