Image overload

When we moved, I lost our camera for about two weeks. One day, after trying to research new cameras, I took a nap for approximately one minute, in which I pictured myself finding the old camera in a box under something. When I awoke, I thought to myself, I haven't checked the "cell phone stuff" box under the bed yet. I immediately went upstairs to check the box, and voila! There was our camera :)

I have since tried to make up for lost time by taking extra pictures. As a result, there will be a lot of (cute) pictures in this post. Enjoy!

Like Father, Like Son, Part I: Here is Grant wearing a little outfit that his daddy wore as a baby. Grandma Brewer brought it for us!


Like Father, Like Son, Part II: This is one of our first family pictures with Grant, and it was on his blessing day. We had just moved into our new apartment the day before, and we had both sets of grandparents in town. Grandma Brewer brought the little blessing outfit that Matthew wore when he was blessed as a baby!


Smart Girl: Yeah, we think our little Leah is a smarty, and sometimes dress her as such :) She is so social, too, and loves all of the neighbors we have now. She calls all of the kids her "new friends" and asks where they are whenever she doesn't see them.


Fun at the Park: We have been having fun trying out lots of new parks in the Seattle area. Leah loves the playgrounds and the water (a lot of the parks are along the Lake or the Sound). The sad part is trying to get her to leave! To save room, here is a little collage of the many pictures from our park trips:


Two Months Old: Grant turned two months old on the 24th. That seems both too long and too short for what it actually feels like. Hard to explain. He is super healthy! He has started to sleep during the night, only getting up to eat once or twice, and then going back to sleep fairly easily. We are very happy about that :) He is big and strong, holding his head up by himself most of the time. He smiles so easily when you smile at him, and he is getting really chubby too!

Quilt Lady

At church, there is a woman who makes a quilt for every new baby born in the ward. No one knows who she is (except for a couple of people who help give them out), and she is anonymously known as the "Quilt Lady". We received Grant's quilt last week, personalized with his name on the back!


(It is a little hard to see in this picture, but each red square has elephants in the shapes of each letter of the alphabet.)

Thank you, Quilt Lady! It is beautiful!

Smiley

Grant has started smiling on purpose! He will smile back at us sometimes, and you can tell that some of them aren't by accident :)
