Grant: 5 Weeks

The full monty at five weeks

Head Control and Fingers

Grant is starting to control his head really well. Attached are shots of his "skills". I've unsuccessfully tried to capture him picking his head up and moving it around during tummy time. Be on the look out for that picture.

He's also discovering his fingers and the joy of sucking them! He's getting better at moving them to his mouth but I think he's still not quite sure what they are and where they come from. I often have to help him find them.

Summer Fun

I dropped Morgan's daycare hours for the summer so I could spend extra time with him while on maternity leave and to just get in some fun summer outings that normally fall through the cracks when we're both working. The experience was something I was really looking forward to....until I realized that I also had a new baby to take care of! The first week with both kids was extremely overwhelming! Things have gotten better. I'm getting use to the lack of sleep and Grant is sleeping more at night. Plus I've realized that getting out and about is essential. The result is fun for everyone.

We're enjoying park visits, playing in the neighbors wading pool, and last weekend we went to a local farm.

Notice the "spout" during the bath!

The Camping Trip

Soon after Grant's arrival, Doug took Morgan on his first camping trip. They both had a great time checking out caves/waterfalls, catching bugs, and cooking over the campfire.

The view from the labor and delivery room!


Grant Martin McCuen was born Monday June 1st at 4:37 PM. He was four days late but made up for it by having a quick and easy delivery.

So far he's a great baby and we couldn't be happier....or more tired!
