First Three Weeks at Home

Grant is seamlessly adjusting to life in the busy Morris household, and we are loving our newest addition. After 2 weeks of being VERY sleepy (great for mom, not great for his weight gain), he finally found his voice at 3 weeks, and has fallen into a more predictable pattern of eating every 2 hours during the day and waking 2-3 times a night for feedings. Can't complain! So far he has been easy to settle down, usually just picking him up stops the crying. Luckily we haven't had to bring out the bouncy ball yet to lull him to sleep. He's happy with a shoulder, or a swaddle, and his vibrating chair works well too.

Pierce and Teddy love kissing and patting Grant and telling him how much they love him. Pierce sings him sweet, original songs about loving Grant just the way he is and that he'll love him forever. It melts the heart! Teddy, too, has really taken to being a big brother and enjoys bringing diapers to help and kissing Grant. He also loves keeping tabs on when Grant's eyes are open or closed. All three boys "play" together doing tummy time and time on our playmat when Grant is up and alert. Usually that's been first thing in the morning before heading out to camp. It's fun to have Grant awake and watching the boys interact--looking forward to more fun in the not so distant future!
