Today is Granty's six-month birthday....I clearly remember writing the entry for his five-month birthday and honestly cannot believe what transpired in the past month. It was a pretty tough day for all of us - not only being Grant's b-day but also the first day it has been just the three of us. I tried to distract myself with a little Christmas shopping for Alexa (50% off Crayola at Michael's today), but I could not believe how many giraffe items I spotted. I never knew that a gold giraffe print ribbon was a holiday item at the craft store. As tough as it is to see, I do get a little smile on my face when I see the giraffe items and think of my precious baby boy. I know he's watching out for me :)
For the luncheon in the church hall, we had printed 23 8x10 pictures of Grant from various phases in his life. I did purchase some new frames today, and I'm starting to place these photos around the house. I'm glad we have enough shelf and wall space to display these photos, as it will be nice to have a reminder of Grant's vivacious personality, smile and gorgeous eyes in every room of the house. Definitely no second child syndrome (lack of individual photos) for this kiddo!

6 months since your birth, Granty. Please take extra special care of Mom, Dad, and Alexa. I know you are doing that already from heaven, since you are such a great guardian angel.
