The best way to describe the last 2 months is a time of growth. It is so endearing to watch the love of the brothers grow as they interact. Luke has become the "baby whisperer" and is always right there to calm Grant if he's fussy. Reid is always full of hugs and kisses for his sweet baby brother ... brotherly love at its best. And the feeling is mutual. Grant is always keeping a watchful eye on his brothers (perhaps he's taking notes for when he's older!!) and has a special smile reserved just for them. During this time, we've grown as parents to find a happy balance between work and play. This journey as a family of 5 is quite the adventure, and we're loving every moment of this crazy ride!
People ask us what the biggest adjustment is going from 2 to 3 children. Some days ... it's the noise factor. If all 3 boys are "talking" (read: Luke and Reid shouting and Grant crying), those are the moments we just sit back and laugh ... because really ... what else can you do?! Other days ... the greatest adjustment is just keeping up with the laundry. Gone are those weekly loads of laundry; welcome to multiple loads daily! Thankfully, if Jami washes and folds the clothes, then the Magic Laundry Elf (AKA Scott) puts the clothes away. Certainly, the transition from man-to-man parenting with 2 to zone parenting with 3 will be ever-changing, but for now, we're tag-teaming our efforts and finding humor everywhere we can.
So back to the topic of growth ... here are Grant's stats for his 2-month well-check. Such a happy, healthy little guy!
