Grant and Mom's Week

With Nick being away in Guatemala this past week, Grant and I tried to keep ourselves busy doing about everything you could imagine. I must say we did a pretty good job of it and had a fun week! But are also unbelievably excited to have Dad come home tomorrow. Grant enjoyed his first trip to the swimming pool...and then many more after that.He went to the park for the first time and absolutely loved the swings, he was smiling the entire time. He also let out quite a few of his adorable giggles.
Then on Sunday he rolled from his back to his stomach! Then continued to do it multiple more times. This picture is right after he did it the first time, he seemed so proud of himself when I was praising him.We e-mailed Nick pictures of our day each night, so we thought we had some pretty cute ones to share on the blog this week. Hope you enjoy them! :)

4 Months

We don't know where May went but here we are already into June! Grant has done so much over the past month. He has found his fingers and is not particular about any individual one, just whatever gets in his mouth he will be happy to suck. He may actually favor his big toes over any fingers. He found them a few weeks ago and constantly has them in his mouth. He has also accomplished rolling from his stomach to his back and we are working on strengthening those core muscles, so I have a feeling it won't be long before he is sitting up.

He had his 4 month Dr's appointment on May 20th and seems to be staying consistent with his growth. He was 27 1/4 in tall (97%), 15lbs 14oz (75%), and 16 1/2 in head circumference (40%). And once again he was a little champ for his shots.

Grant was quite the little traveling man throughout May as well. He made a couple trips to Omaha and Kearney, then had his first family vacation. We went to Boulder for the Bolder Boulder race again but this year the Sutko family rented a cabin in Estes Park for the week. So needless to say Grant had so much fun being entertained by all the Sutkos' and especially his cousins, Max and Ted. He also got to meet his Great Grandma Douglas!

Grant's easy going personality continues to shine through and we can't get enough of his little smiles, giggles, and slobbery kisses. He is just our happy little guy!
