Is That a Smile?!

We have actually had a happy or at least a calmer baby this weekend. Is it the new meds? Maybe. Is it the new tricks from "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (thank you, Sara!)? Maybe. Whatever it is we're just happy to finally see the little man enjoying himself some and I am relieved that it doesn't appear to be any kind of lactose intolerance or allergy so I can continue nursing. And the most exciting part....I finally caught a smile on camera! :)



Mom and Dad kept Grant for us on Friday night to give us a little time off. We went out to dinner and then fell asleep early and slept late. (Except for a 3:00am incident with a beeping carbon monoxide detector running low on batteries!) Today we went to Kincaid's for burgers and then to the movie. It was such a nice retreat and we were ready to pick up the big guy after our time away. Thanks Mom and Dad!

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! I'm so glad Grant is doing better. Who cares what it is as long as he's happier, right! Grant's little smile is SO adorable!
Love you all!

I give that book to everyone I know, it honestly works wonders. Glad you read it because it really does help make them comfortable!

I want YOUR mom and dad! Seriously, what a wonderful blessing to have parents that live close by and are willing to help out. I would have killed for some nights away when my little ones were babies! Enjoy the blessing! Love the smiling picture. The first of many I am sure!
