Big Day

Grant's first tooth finally broke through today! I looked this morning and could tell it looked different. He had his 6 month check up today and the doctor confirmed it was through. This afternoon I could actually feel it. We'll see when the second one comes in. As for the check up, Grant is long (29 in- 95th percentile) and skinny (15 lb 10oz- 25th percentile). No surprise there. A few shots later we were out the door.

Grant has really made progress on the scooting front the last few days. He gets up on his knees and elbows and rocks back and forth (sometimes landing in a face plant when he gets rocking fast). If he sees something he wants (especially the remote) he'll work really hard and scoot to get it. He'd be crawling if he'd figure out he has to move his arms. He has the leg movement down. Tonight I had an empty Lays Stax can that I was beating on to make noise when it rolled away. Grant really wanted it; he scooted all the way across the rug on to the floor. It was so funny- everytime he'd get to it and touch it, it would move just a little farther away. He made it almost half way around the room trying to get that thing. Of course since it was rolling around the floor Miles thought he had to get in on the action and started chasing it. When Miles went after it Grant looked at me like "why is that cat going after my toy?" By the time we realized we should have the video camera out Grant was starting to get frustrated and mad. Next time we'll be on the ball.
