November pictures are up!

I guess I had a rare burst of energy and got November posted already. For all of you parents out there with not so great sleepers, I now understand what you have been through. Although Grant is six months old, and the pediatrician says he should be sleeping at least 6 hours without needing to eat, he has been known to wake up 3 or 4 times throughout the night needing some attention. He will try to eat, but fall asleep trying, thus leading me to believe he wasn't really hungry in the first place. So, we have been working very hard on some strategies to get both him (and me) some much needed rest. I would say we are moving in the right direction.
On the eating front, we have moved on to sweet potatoes. Still, Grant is not too sure that he likes his food from a spoon, although his reaction to the potatoes was better than the gagging and dry heaving reaction from avocados. The boy doesn't know what he is missing! I am tempted to move next to perhaps ground up snickers bar or a cannoli to speed up this process, but will probably stick to the more traditional green beans or peas.
Finally, I am excited to report that we may have a left-handed pitcher on our hands. Well, this is Andy's guess. It is amazing to see him with a ball (or really any toy small enough to throw). You actually can play catch with him. You roll the ball over to him, and he winds back and shoots it right back at you. Although Andy was grooming him for a career in basketball initially, he has decided that baseball players have much longer careers. And since he is favoring his left hand, I have learned that lefties in baseball are a valuable asset to any lineup. Really, we want Grant to do anything he desires in life. But, a dad can always dream.
