Can you see what that spells??

G-R-A-N-T!  Yes sir, Grant can write his name!  I am such a proud mommy of such a cute (and smart) little boy!

Big Brother Moments

To be truthful we did now know what to expect from Grant when we brought Charlotte home.  He has always been very good natured and laid back about  almost everything, so we hoped that adding a little Charlotte to the mix wouldn’t stir up any hard feelings. 

Grant has been great!  It has been 5.5 months and he has never had an ounce of resentment or jealously towards his little sister.  He loves her and is completely enamored by her.  Here are a few of my favorite big brother moments so far…

• For the first few months he called her “Ta-toe”…because Charlotte was too hard to say.  That has become a nickname for her now.  I hope that when she is 16 we all aren’t she calling her Ta-toe!
• He is very concerned when she is crying and will come and get me if he thinks that I don’t hear her.  Until I come to see what she is crying about he will sit by her and says “no fussies, no fussies.”
• We have a few books that have a touch and feel aspect to them and he loves to take her hand and ,while we are reading, touch the fluffy bunny or soft petals.
• We have started to feed her solid food and he is very concerned when she is “messy” after eating.
• His new thing is getting into her crib with her.  He will sit in her crib and turn on the mobile for her and say “Charlotte likes that!”
• He is always so sweet to her and will go and talk to her when she is laying on the floor or sitting in her chair.  He says “Hi Charlotte” and she will give him the biggest smile ever!

It has been such a joy watching these two interact with each other! :)
