Smiles!

It was a great day - my baby boy smiled for the first time, and it was at his big brother. I think this is a good sign of what is to come for them. These are the days that you just want to hold onto forever, even if you are sleep deprived and can't remember when you ate last :)

Grady and I were getting Anson changed and dressed for the day. We do it on the floor so Grady can help. I have been using that time to give him a little tummy time each morning. BTW, he has no complaints at all - seems to enjoy it just fine. Well today, he was on his tummy and Grady was right in his face (of course - where else would he be!?) and Anson looked right at him and smiled this huge smile. It was definitely a real smile, and it lasted quite a while. And if this smile was any indication, he has inherited the giant open mouth smile that Grady and I have. A few minutes later he gave me a quick smile when he was on the changing table. And he gave Daddy an almost-smile this evening. Smiles at 3 weeks old!? Maybe he WILL be a lot like Grady!



Some recent pictures of the boys...

Anson sleeping in the swing - we still don't turn it on - just seems like "too much" for a tiny guy



my "little porkchop", as I sometimes call him (mainly because he's already a lot chubbier than G was)



My beautiful boy



goof-ball



I liked his outfit, so I was trying to get a picture - he was being silly



he likes the heat - if I bring him outside (in the shade, of course) he'll sleep and sleep





I brought G to Touch-a-Truck last weekend - a big hit!





the beloved excavator



"Grady - pretend you are dirt"















ambulance - we were talking on the headsets



not my tiniest boy but still smaller than a tractor wheel
