Chris and Chris Jr.

It is funny how many people come up to me when Grant and I are alone and say, "I bet he looks like his dad." I love that I have Chris and a mini Chris to love so much!! Even though Grant looks a lot like Chris, it is fun to see his own personality develop. I enjoy watching my two boys play together- there is nothing more rewarding than a happy baby and a happy family.



Grant love his "uh-dadadadada".


We got Grant a baby grand piano so that he can start practicing to play like his "dadadadada". Practice session aren't long though, because there are only four keys.

"uh-dadadadad, let me squeeze your nose with my slimey, baby hands."


Grant loves to "help" in any way that he can. Chris is putting together Grant's new high chair. We really needed a high chair because before we were just feeding Grant on our laps, which was dangerous because after every bite he wanted to give us hugs. So we basically had to wear bibs too. (PS. Chris' dad inspired us to get the colored beads- one of the "every kid needs one". He loves them- thanks Grandpa Anderson.)


Ta-da! It's finished- and I think Grant put the whole thing together- Chris held the screwdriver.


Grant is trying to get the apple so that he can use his two new top teeth! Now he has four, very sharp baby teeth.



"I love my uh-dadadadadada." Grant gets so excited to see Chris. No one can get Grant to laugh like Chris!

Grant is starting to stand against everything. He has also learned how to stand up against smooth surfaces- like the wall and the washer.


Two nights ago we put Grant down for bed, but since he was having a rough day he cried for about 10 min. before he fell asleep. Usually when he stands up against the side of his crib he needs us to help him get back to sleeping positing. A couple hours later when Chris and I were getting ready for bed we went in to check on Grant and found him sleeping like this. It was so cute!! This is the first time he has ever fallen asleep in a position other than lying on his back under the blankies. Poor sleepy baby.

Awww.. fun pictures. I agree.. Grant is a little mini Chris! It's adorable how much little boys love their dads.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly makes a day rough for grant? It seems like his days are fairly consistent. Then again I'm not there, so who knows what the heck he's up to.

A good question by Bryan. A "rough day" for Grant is a day when he's pretty whiny. It's hard to predict why he's whiny. It may because of too short of naps or (recently) because he's teething. You have to remember, he's a little person and it can be frustrating to be a *little* person! Hence, some rough days. But he's a lot of fun when he's happy!
