Things that make him special:

Other highlights from this month:
-We are trying to feed Grant less often. Our pediatrician said every 3-4 hours. Grant still wants to eat every 2, but we're working on moving toward 3 hours between feedings.
-Grant took his first airplane ride to Las Vegas to visit Daddy! He was wonderful on the flight out there and our return flight. Whew!
-When we were in Vegas, Grant got kicked out of the World Series of Poker room for being under 21 years old.
-Grant went for his first swim in our Vegas pool for about 5 minutes! He just sat there. He showed NO emotion!
