Yummmmm!!!

Benjamin turns 6 months old today and we celebrated with pureed food! He had oatmeal and pears for breakfast and green beans for dinner. He didn't seem to love the taste of it all (as you can see by the look on his face)...but he loved being big like Barrett and using a spoon.

Sitting Pretty

Benjamin is enjoying a new view of his little world. He started sitting up by himself this week and is loving life! He doesn't even mind when Barrett knocks him over when he "plays" with him. Benjamin continues to be such a trooper! He will be six months old the end of next week...can't believe it!

Barrett turns 3!

We celebrated B's 3rd birthday with lots of friends and lots of monkeys! He LOVES curious George so we decided to surround ourselves with little monkey friends for the big day! The banana monkey cake (made with the help of our friend Judi...see the video) and little monkey cupcakes were a hit and Barrett loved wearing his monkey mask (and still hasn't taken it off!).

All the brothers...

Jerry's brother Jeff (who lives in NYC) and Pat (who lives in Raleigh, NC) flew home for the weekend to celebrate Barrett and grandpa grant's birthdays. So all four of the Grant boys were in b'ham at the same time which rarely happens. You will see lots of pics of cousins and uncles playing the Wii (Barrett is pretty dominant in a game of Wii boxing!). This was Jeff's first time to meet Benjamin who turned five months old this week. MC, Julia and Emily Grant rotated turns holding Benjamin...who loved every minute of his visit with his cousins. A great weekend together...we are thankful for our family.
