Alex John Grant

Our little boy is here! He was born on April 25th at 7:43 am. He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. and was 19 inches long. He had to go to the NICU after he was born and was put on a ventilator. He wasn't breathing so good on his own. His lungs weren't fully inflated. But he came off that night, I was able to start nursing him the next day, and Wednesday morning he was released to the regular nursery. What a sweet baby he is. I think he looks alot like Aspen. He has the same nose and mouth as her. I can't tell whose eyes he has, but they look more Burrahm to me. We are all enjoying him! Even Owen. He loves him and gives him kisses all the time. They are going to be great little buddies and I am so excited to see their relationship develop. And the triplets really love to hold him. As for me, I am trying to soak up every second of my last baby. (I will post pictures later. I am on my husband's laptop because our PC is slow as puck lately!)

BABY IS COMING!

Baby #5 is coming tomorrow between 7:30 and 8:00 am. I am going in for my c-section. I can't wait to find out what I am having. And if it's a boy, what the heck we will name him. I'll let you all know soon!

December Catch Up

We celebrated my 32nd birthday, watched the girlies at their dance recital, played in the massive snowfall that cancelled school, and had a great Christmas day. Such a fun month. It went by way too fast though!

November Catch up

Not a lot of pics from this month. We had the first snow and two Thanksgivivg dinners. Yum! It also got really cold! We put up our tree which was fun to do with a one year old! (Brooke took the pic of me when we were putting up the tree.)

October Catch Up

I am so behind! I nap now while Owen is asleep instead of doing other things. Growing a baby makes you tired. :) Anyway, here are a few Halloween pictures from Connor's school party (the girls missed theirs due to a tummy bug!), to Dave's work party, to finally trick or treating in the rain!

Disneyland Surprise!

Yep. We went to Disneyland again this year! We decided to do it because we were sick the last time, there was a great deal going on, and Dave got a raise. And because I can sweet talk Dave into anything. :) We went with the Hupps again which made it even more fun. The fun thing was that the triplets had no idea we were going until we were in the car heading out. And they didn't know the Hupps were going to be there until we saw them at the hotel! Great surprises for them. We spent a whole week there and had a great time.

Owen's 1!

Owen turned the big number 1 on September 11. We were going to have a big party for him, but I ended up being sick all week and even going to the hospital so we cancelled it. We had a little one though with a few friends. He got to open some presents and eat cake and that is the best part anyway. He was in the 45th percentile for height but less than the third for weight. He only gained about a pound between his 9 month and 12 month appointments. Bu we took him back today for a 15 month check up and he is 20 pounds now. He is finally taking a cup of milk. It was really hard to wean him. And so sad too. My heart broke every time he cried to nurse. He runs now and is even saying some words. He says "momma", "go", "no", "dada" (occasionally), "nana" (banana), and "Wow". He says wow when he sees the Christmas lights! It's adorable. He also pushes us, pulls us, and points to show us what he wants. He copies his big sisters and brother so much. The other day Aspen stomped her foot, and now Owen does it. He seriously does everything they do. He is such a cutie. Oh, and he likes to hit his siblings too. And scratch them. Poor triplets. He's made them cry more than once. In spite of that, we all still love and adore him. He is so fun.
