Welcome Baby Brother Cole!

Cole Pentz Davenport was born Wednesday, September 22nd at 8:23pm. He was 6 lbs, 10 oz, and 19.5 inches long. He is a full brother to Grant, which is easy to tell because they look so much a like. Here is Cole less than a day old.

Cole in the nursery Friday evening, waiting to go home. He had to stay in the hospital a minimum of 24 hours, and since he was born late in the evening we had to wait until Saturday for the doctor to release him.

Here is our happy family of four in the waiting room at the hospital, just before we headed home.

Here is Cole checking out his home for the first time.

Grant is ready to play with his little brother, but he will have to wait a while.

This is Cole on Sunday, 3 days old. We love you Cole!

San Diego

We had a crazy September. The weekend after Jen's family reunion we traveled to San Diego so that Jamie could attend a mission reunion. He served in Mexico for 2 years. We had too many bags and then Grant so Jamie found a way to get Grant into the hotel and keep him occupied.

Grant had a blast.

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend in San Diego and were able to enjoy some great beach time. I didn't think we'd get in the water so I didn't put Grant's suit on...I was wrong.

Grant spent part of the day in just his diaper. There was a baby completely naked running around so I felt a little bit better about not being prepared.

Grant spent much of the time pushing around his stroller, but he did take a brake one in a while to chase the birds.

Such a busy boy!

I Love Baby Goldfish!

We were in Utah for Jen's family reunion a few weekends ago and the kids were sharing some baby goldfish crackers. Grant was loving them.

Camping

We went camping with Jamie's family the end of July. Jen was worried about Grant eating everything and trying to jump in the fire. Grant had a great time. Our friendly guy had to visit all the neighboring campsites and say "hi" and got plenty dirty. He had a great time.

Like a moth to a flame. He actually did fall in, but luckily it was not hot at the time!

We visited the sequoia's on the way out of King's Canyon. Here we are in front of Grant's tree.

Happy 4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July with friends and family. We enjoyed a pancake breakfast at our church and went to Jamie's brother's house in the afternoon. The kids went swimming and we bbq'd and then enjoyed fireworks from their front yard. Grant didn't like the fireworks and slept through most of them.

Holding hands with dad in the pool

Grant doesn't seem to like water these days...in the pool or in the tub.

Always with the tongue out.

Happy on land.

Grant vs. The Easter Balloon

Remember that chick balloon Grant got for Easter? Well, he was nervous about it at first, but once it lost some air Grant started attacking it...he had a blast!

Even dad joined in the fun.

That poor chick never saw him coming!

Happy 1st Birthday Grant

Grant had a great 1st birthday. We started the day with a few gifts from family and friends. Then we had a little gathering at the park and then when dad came home Grant had his first birthday cake. Complete with 2 naps and 2 baths...it was an exhausting day!

We brought cake pops for everyone to enjoy.

Grant did very well at the park and only ate some of the bark.

Grant tried some of the frosting, but doesn't like textures much and decided the plate tasted better than the actual cake!

Look at that...4 top teeth coming in all at once! Wow, that's a mouth full!!!

Happy Birthday Grant! We love you!!!
