New things with Grant

Last month at Grant's 4 month appointment we found out that he weighed 17 lbs 3 oz and was 26 3/4" long.  I think the Dr. said he is now in the 90th percentile for both height and weight.  So he is actually on the charts.  The Dr. said if he stays this big of a boy he will be 6'2" as an adult.  Lara and I are thinking, given our stature, he is most likely going to level out in the coming months.

Grant is now big enough to enjoy being in an exersaucer.

He started eating rice cereal and loves it!

He is obsessed with his toes.  He's always bending
over to see them or putting them up by his face. 

Yesterday we decided to take Grant to the park in Bellefonte just a few minutes from our house. 
We fed the ducks and geese and Grant seemed to watch them quite a bit.

Easter!

We celebrated Easter at Lara's parents.  We had a delicious dinner and of course an easter egg hunt.  Since we were all dressed up we decided to snap a few family pics.
We missed seeing you Hetrick Family.  Hopefully this post (& the last one)
help you feel like you were there.

Emma's B-day

Last weekend was full of celebrations!  Emma's 7th birthday on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.  A party at the Fiscus house is always a blast and this one was no exception.

The birthday girl had an adorable jewelry box cake (for her jewelry themed party).

The great weather allowed for some fun outdoor activities and it seemed like this party had a little bit of everything.
     
A Bounce House
                       

Truck & Tractor Races

An Easter Egg Hunt

A plethora of cute kids.  Here are just a few of them.
                       

But don't be fooled, this party wasn't all fun and games. 
There was serious competition on the B-ball court...
  
and deep converstaions on the driveway.
         
               And most serious of all, the finding of ones true love!                    
   
    
Thanks for the great party Jenny and Jed!!!  It looks like everyone had a blast.  We definitely did.

Grant's Room

We have a camping, woodsy, tree theme going on. 




Here's the name plate we
made for above his crib.












Lara and I painted the three little paintings and Jenny & Jed gave Grant the bookshelf for Christmas.









A few close-ups since we are so proud of our work!






































Lara, Jenny & Grace made some pretty darn cute curtains














and lastly, Lara and I refinished an old dresser.










Here's the before.
