Lots going on..........

We have so much going on since its the holiday season. This is my favorite time of the year! I'm especially excited for Grant's first Christmas!

First, I will start of with Grants 6 month check up. He weighed 19lbs and was 27 3/4in. He is in the 75th percentile in both. The doc said he is perfect weight for his height. Grant screamed and his 4 shots.I would cry to if some stranger held me down and gave me four shots.

Secondly, Thanksgiving was wonderful. We ate at grandmas. Yummy food as usual. Thank Grant and I went to Mobile. I haven't been to visit in a long time. I decided to take advantage of my long weekend. It was super nice hanging out with momma, Scott, Nee, and LA. We mostly hung around the house. We put together a gingerbread house and took some pictures of Grant for our Christmas card (which I ordered today). I'm excited, they are super cute!!!

I'm also excited about Bama winningt he SEC championship. National Championship here we come!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! love you all!

Thankful

In the spirit of the season I thought I would make a list of things i'm thankful for. Although I could go on forever here are just a few:

I'm thankful:
-for my newly found faith and how it has helped shape me into the person I am today.
-to have such a funny loving husband .
-for the wonderful pregnancy and miracle god created for us, our wonderful child Grant.
-to have such a wonderful family, even if they do live 3hrs away. I miss you!
-for Sunday lunches at Grandmas
-for good books and movies.
-for email, facebook and blogs
-for hugs, kisses, and laughs.
-for chips, cookies, lasagna, sausage biscuits, and pasta.......haha!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! We all tend to take things for granted remember to be thankful for the wonderful lives we are given!!

What a wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful weekend! The weather was just perfect. Friday night we just sat around the house and relaxed. Saturday Andrew went to work and Auntie Donna watched Grant while I went grocery shopping. When I got home Grant took a nap and I cleaned out his room and got everything ready for all his new Christmas presents he will be receiving (which i am super excited about...his 1st Christmas)!!



Later that afternoon, I made some rotel dip while Andrew grilled. Then we watched the Alabama game. Mr. Bobby, Whitney, and Wade came over. Bama won and Auburn lost, so we had a good time! Sunday we went to church and then Grandmas for lunch. Sunday afternoon was beautiful. It felt so nice outside. We took Grant outside for his first encounter with our two wiems in the back yard. He was super excited. It's so cute he kicks his legs and moves his arms when he is excited. The dogs seemed very interested in him. We will have to let them spend more time together as i'm sure they will be his best buds when he gets older and can play with them. All in all we had a great weekend!

Happy b-day grandaddy!

Sunday we went to Opelika to see granddaddy for his b-day! These are a few pictures from our trip. It's funny....Grant look a lot like granddaddy. We love you!!

Pictures.....Halloween and Teeth

6 months

Today Grant is 6 months old! Time is flying by. He is growing so fast. Grant also got his first two teeth in. The first one broke through on Oct 30th and the second one on Oct31st. I still haven't managed to get a picture but I am going to keep trying.

Our church fall festival was pushed back from last Wed night to tonight. I'm really excited to dress Grant up in his costume! He is going to be so cute!! I will def. post some pictures. I hope everyone had a great Halloween and is enjoying this wonderful fall weather!!!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Sunday was Andrews b-day. He turned the big 27.

Saturday we watched the Bama game. It was not a good game but we did end up with the win. I'm so thankful b/c Andrew would have let it ruin his weekend.We went out to eat Saturday night with Andrew's dad, Granny, brother, sis in law, niece and nephew to celebrate.

Sunday at church they sang to Andrew. I think he was a little embarassed haha.....We also went to eat Sunday for lunch with the other side of the family. Sunday night we lounged around and Andrew grilled for us. We relaxed and it was really nice. We always seem to be on the go. All in all we had a wonderful weekend!!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

We had a wonderful weekend! Andrew went to the Pike Lib game Friday night and I went to eat with the fam: Mrs. Jan, Donna, Dennis, Morgan, Maddie and Jeremiah. Sat I took Grant to Dothan to have his picture made with his cousins Maddie and Jeremiah. Maddie didn't cooperate but we got a cute one of the boys. Sunday we went to church, ate lunch at Grandma's and then I went grocery shopping. Last night I watched my shows and got everything ready for today. Here are a few new pictures! I still can't believe Grant is so big!

Good weekend

We had another wonderful weekend. Friday night we just sat around the house. Saturday we went to Brady's 3rd b-day party. He is a little boy that is in my Sunday School class. It was John Deere theme and super cute! Saturday afternoon I cleaned up the house and go ready for our MiMi visit.

Grandma and Mrs. Jan watched Grant while we went to a wedding Saturday evening. We also went over to Brady's house to watch some of the Auburn game. I'm not an Auburn fan but it was nice to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a while. Sunday we went to church like usual; then I went grocery shopping.

Mimi arrived yesterday around 4:30. She is going to stay with us until Wed because Mrs. Pat is on vacation all this week and a couple days next week. Grant will also be staying with Grandma for a couple days.

Grant also turned 5 months old yesterday!! I can't believe he is getting so big. He is still loving his baby food. The only flavor he isn't to into is peaches. They are kind of tangy.....yes I tasted them. I was curious what the foods tasted like.

I will update soon with recent pictures. I know I keep saying this but I really will. We are always so busy i usually forget. I'm going to try and do better. Until next time, I hope everyone has a good week!!

Grant 4 month check-up

Grant is getting so big. He is growing way too fast!

Grant had his 4 month check-up on Monday. He weighed 15lb 11oz and was 26 1/4 in long. I don't remember his head measurements I just remember it was average.

I went to this appointment by myself and I was worried about the shots. He did way better then I expected....he didn't even cry. I was so proud!

We also started him on green beans baby food. He seems to love them. Three days so far and he's doing great. I think we might be on to sweet potato next. I have some pictures to share but it will have to be at a later date. I don't have them on the computer yet.

Until then......I hope everyone has a great week!

Roll Tide!

Football Season/ Labor Day weekend

I love this time of year! Fall weather is approciating and it's time for some football! I usually only keep up with Alabama and Troy. Other then that I don't really care. I will pull for a SEC team when they play some else but i'm not going to get upset over the outcome.

This weekend we went to Brittany and DJ's to watch the Alabama vs.Virginia Tech game. We didn't have a babysitter so Grant had to come with us. He was so good!! He played and laughed. We had him dressed in his Alabama onsie and socks.

We also bought him his first ball Sunday. It is a small soft alabama football. TOO CUTE! He played Sunday night with it. Of course it went straight to his mouth....haha. Pictures will be posted soon.

I can't believe how much he has grown. We weighed him Sunday and he weighes 15 1/2 lbs. He is growing so fast. We get to start him on baby food soon. I bought some Monday when I went grocery shopping, Green beans, Sweet Potato, and Bananas. I'm so excited!! Daddy is not so excited b/c of the poop change that will occur!

All in all we had a great relaxing weekend. We need more of those! I hope everyone has a great week!

Nice weekend

We had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Friday night Andrew and I went to eat at Mossy Grove and went to the movies to see GI Joe. It wasn't my choice of movie but I actually enjoyed it more then I thought I would. Grant was with his Auntie Donna. I forgot to pack his paci so when he got sleepy he gave them a good show....sorry!

Saturday we hosted a garden/tool shower for Josh and Nicole. It turned out to be very nice. We took Grant with us. He actually ended up sleeping most of the time. The weather was beautiful!!! Saturday night we stayed around the house. Andrew played on the computer and I read some of my book New Moon. So far it is really good. I was hesitant to get in the whole Twilight series but they are actually very good. I brought the book to read today during my lunch hour...haha!

Sunday we went to church. After we came home I went to Troy to go grocery shopping. Andrew cut the grass yesterday evening while I cleaned a little. Grant just talked and played as usual. He is such a wonderful baby.

Now we are just back to another week of work!

Busy Busy

We have been so busy lately I have been neglecting to blog. Here are some thinga to catch you up to date.

Grant is officially sleeping through the night now. He was occasionally doing it but now he does it every night. I'm working up the courage to move him from his pack n play in our room to his room. I'm sure he will be fine but I kind of like him in our room. He is growing so fast. He is also drooling a lot and always sucking on his fingers so I think he might be working on some teeth. He is also talking alot...it is the cutest thing in the world!

Last weekend Mimi came to visit. We had a really good time. Saturday morning we went to get Grants picture made. The rest of Mimi's visit we just hung around the house. Grant enjoyed seeing her just as much as i'm sure Mimi did!! Mimi is welcome anytime!!

Here is the direct link to see the photos. The password is alabama.

Grant did so good, i'm so proud of him! Now i just have to decide which ones to order.


I have been busy with showers and wedding stuff. Andrew and I are in a wedding in Sept so I have been going to wedding shower just about every weekend. We are helping host a luau tool/garden shower this upcoming weekend. So like i said we have been busy busy! Hopefully everything will calm down soon!

Three months old

I can't believe Grant is three months old today! He is growing so fast! He wants to sit up all the time now. You still have to assist him but he loves it. He is also starting to drool a lot and blow spit bubbles...haha! He still isn't sleeping all night every night. He picks and chooses which nights he sleeps all night, usually it's daddies night. After you feed him and change him he goes right back to sleep, so it's not that bad. He is still drinking 6 oz at a time....he will go 3 1/2-4 hours in between. Other then that he is doing great. I love him so much!

We are going to get his picture made this weekend. I'm so excited! I hope we get some good ones. I will have to post the website so you can go and check them out when they are ready. Until next time.....Have a good week!

Busy Busy Busy

We are extremely busy these days. I feel like we are always on the go and never have time to sit and relax. We went to the beach last weekend. This morning we went to Maddie's 2nd b-day party and tonight Andrew and I are going on a dinner and movie date. Grant is staying the night with his Nana tonight. Tomorrow we have church and then I have a bridal shower for Nicole .

Next weekend we have VBS at church. And the following weekend Mimi is coming in town. That Sat we are going to take Grant to get his picture made and Sunday I have a lingerie shower i'm helping host for Nicole. So like I said we are BUSY BUSY!!

I've been neglecting this blog but I want to try and keep it up better...... and keep posting pictures of Grant. He is getting so big! Grant is growing so fast. He likes to sit up now. I can't belive he is fixing to be 3 months old.I will try to post some new pictures soon!

1st family vacation

We went to the beach last weekend for our first family vacation. It was nice to get out of Troy for a couple days. Andrew and I laid out and swam Saturday while Nana watched Grant. Then we went to eat at Margaritaville. It was nice but very crowded. We came back to the room and decided to take a short nap. About three hours later Nana came and woke us up. I guess mommy and daddy were super tired. we went out on the beach to take some pictures. It was very windy so we didn't stay out there long. Then we changed and went to Shuckums to eat dinner. We came home and Andrew and Ryan played Wi while Nana and I played with Grant. Then we went to sleep. Sunday morning Andrew and I went to walk on the beach and collect a few shells. We packed up and headed to Thomas's Donuts. That was the first time I ever ate there and it was delicious. We left and headed back home after that. It was s short vacation but a well needed one.

2 month check -up

Grant is getting so big! He weighed 11lb 10oz and was 22 1/2 inches at his two month check-up. I can't believe he is already 2 months old. Time flies!!! Grant got three shots and one medicine by mouth. He loved the stuff by mouth but wasn't a fan of the shots. He cried of course which broke my heart! He was fine once we got in the car and started riding. He is such a good rider.

Everything else was fine. We did get him so new bottles to help with the gas...haha! He has a bit of an issue. The bottles seem to be working good. We got the Doctor Brown's. Grant also got some new PJ's and a Classic Looney Tunes DVD ( however, I think its more for Andrew). Usually when i get home after work they are sitting there watching it!

4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!

Andrew was off work on Friday, so he took Grant to meet Mimi and Pepaw in Greenville around 10AM . We let him have his first over night visit for the weekend. I thought I would get upset while he was gone but I did very well. We did have a busy weekend so I think it helped. Mimi and Pepaw also needed some alone bonding time with Grant.

Friday night we went to Chase's house and grilled out. Saturday I cleaned up around the house a little and then we went to Brittany and DJ"s 4th of July party. We had a good time minus some mud that got thrown in Andrew's eye. Of course, guys still act like children.

Sunday we slept late and then hung around the house until time to leave to go pick up Grant. He was really good on the way home. When we got back I held him and got in a few sniffs! haha, I also got a few new pics of him smiling! I love it when he smiles at me!!

picture post

It has been way to long

It has been forever it seems like since I have last posted a blog..... So much has happened.

1st -I have returned to work. My first week was last week (June 22). I was pretty busy catching up, so it went by pretty fast. Mimi was here to watch Grant... which made the transition easier. It was still hard to leave him. We had a great time while she visited. Thank you mimi!

2nd- Andrew celebrated his first Fathers Day! We went to church and they did something special for the fathers. Grant got him a card and 2 chokes for his gun. Mr. Bobby (my father-in-law) Granny, Jeremy, Heather and their children all came over for lunch. It was a time with the family. Andrew said he had a great day. Andrew is such a great father and we love his sooo much!!

3rd- Grant is growing so fast!! I can't believe he will be 8 weeks tomorrow. He is so much more alert. He will look at you and follow your voice. He has also started smiling and laughing. It is the cutest thing!

I still haven't mastered blogging and I don't know how to add the pictures with words in between. I will have to post a picture blog with some cute new ones!!

MiMi visit

We had a wonderful visit with Mimi. She came in town Tuesday morning and left today around lunch. We sat around Tuesday and watched My Best Friends Girl Tuesday night. It was very funny! We went shopping on Wednesday. Grant got lots of cute items: a book, duck stuffed animal, 2 pairs of pants and 2 Baby Einstein videos. Grant is so spoiled already!! We can't wait till our next Mimi visit!! We love our World's Greatest Mimi!

1 month

I can't believe Grant is already 1 month old! Time has flown by. He is still in his newborn clothes and diapers but he seems so much longer then when he was born. He is now eating 4oz at a time except during night feedings. He usually falls back asleep before he can finish it. He is sleeping better at night. He usually wakes up around 1 or 2 and then 4:30 or 5 depending on what time he goes to sleep at night. Some nights are better then others with the sleep.

I have enjoyed this last month more then I could have ever imagined. It's hard to believe I only have 2 more weeks until I return to work. I'm going to miss him very much!!

Grant finally arrived!

So i'm officially 4 weeks late....but Grant Carter Davis has arrived! He was born May 4th 2009 at 5:40 PM. He was 7lb 8oz 20 in.

I can't believe how fast he is growing. He is 4 weeks old today! I absolutely love being a mother. I love when he grabs your finger, his facial expressions, the way he sleeps, and when he smiles at you (even if it is just gas)! He makes me so happy!! Sometimes I still can't believe I helped create this human and grew him in my belly. It's such a miracle!

These are a couple pics of when he was born.
