Grant and Mom playing

This is a fun little video of Grant and I playing on a Friday night. It's funny how our Friday night activities have changed a little bit:)

Back in Champaign

We finally moved back to Champaign on August 15. I spent the day cleaning and packing, and when Chris got home he packed up the car and we headed south to the corn fields. We enjoyed Chicago for the Summer and were glad to get back to Champaign where there is free parking and suburban shopping.

Chris started school on August 20. He has had a good start but is as busy as ever. So far being a 2L is a lot cooler than being a 1L. :)

In the first photo of Grant, below, he's getting a head-start on his mission preparation. Who could refuse such a little cutie?! The pictures on the green chair are bathtime-prep pictures. Finally, Grant shows off his ability to relax: we call this our "couch po-cutie" shot. Enjoy the pics!

Grant in Action

"Are you looking into my soul?""Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........"Grant's idea of helping with the laundry

Smiley Boy

Grant is starting to smile and react a little bit more! Everyday is a little more exciting. Sometimes it's a little unpredictable, so we felt pretty lucky to get this video. Actually, it's kinda funny, because he's often quite smiley when he's on the changing table. Something very happy about that place I guess!

It seems fitting that we were able to get this video this morning, because last night was the first time he's truly slept through the night! He's slept 5-6 hours before, but last night he slept from 10:00pm-6:00am. After he woke up and ate, he then slept for another couple of hours. So we're hoping this becomes a behavioral pattern for him.
