Mr. Grant Downing: 4 months old and growing fast!

 My sweet 4 month old. Grant is a true joy. He is a happy, laid back guy. He continues to be a great eater. In fact, he still wants to eat about every 3 hours at night. He happily takes a bottle and plays with it (after he's eaten, of course!).  He can almost hold his own bottle. He rolls from his back to his tummy, but man oh man that makes him mad. He's not a fan of tummy time. He always has something in his mouth! His favorite thing to chew on is his Mickey Mouse blankey. He was playing with Sophie (the squeaky giraffe) the other day and he accidently squeaked it. It terrified him! He cried and cried! So, we'll wait on Sophie for a while longer. He loves to watch Sally and he giggles at her whenever she's around. 4 month stats:
16 lb 4 oz
26 in



I love the progression of these pictures. He obviously wasn't too happy with the idea of his monthly pictures, but he became increasingly more upset with me. "NO MORE PICTURES, Mommy!!"

I can't even count the times when I look at my sweet family surrounding me and I can't believe how richly God has blessed me. I am one thankful mama!


Easter in OKC

We spent Easter in OKC with Grandmums, Grampa, Jenni, Shane, Anna, and Ally.
We had a wonderful weekend!

 This is now one of my very favorite pictures ever!
 Anna, Ally, and Sally. Sally loves, loves, loves these sweet girls!
 Sally has become a professional egg hunter!
 Love my precious girl!
 Sally loves her Grandmums!
 Sweet family picture.
 The girls!

3 Years & 3 Months

Whew! What a wild and crazy (and wonderful!) spring! Grant turned 3 months on March 26 and Sally was 3 years old on April 2.

 We had a family birthday party for Sally. We hunted eggs in Nana and PopPop's back yard.

 This girl loves her cake!
 And we all know how much she loves Minnie! She was so excited to get real Minnie ears from Eric, Megan, and Rob from Disney World!
 Our big 3 year old on the morning of her birthday!
 And our BIG 3 month old. Grant is such a happy little fella, but he sure does look serious in pictures!

I sure do love these two sweethearts!
