The last day that Uncle Jason was here we all took the kids to the Zoo. It was a little hot, but way better than going to the zoo in July! We had a great time. The kids especially loved hanging out with Uncle Jason. We missed you this time Becca and can't wait to see you both soon!
Grant's 1st trip to the zoo. He had this same look the entire day..."WHAT am I doing here?"
As we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ this Easter season we enjoyed spending time with our family and friends. This year we did four (4!!!) egg hunts! We have really got to cut down next year. Lillie had a hunt at her pre-school, and we did our annual ward egg hunt. We had a fantastic time on Friday night with our BFF's the Zufelt's. Thankyou T.J. for smokin' the ham...it was amazing as always! We always love hanging out with them. The 5 walking children had a great time hunting eggs in our backyard and Grant had a nice time sleeping in Dad's arms. They got through quite a bit of the candy before the adults noticed and spent the next few hours on a sugar high. Come to think of it, they spent the entire weekend on a sugar high!

Bitter because today was my last midwife appt. Boo. I have had such a fantastic experience with everyone at the birth center and I am so sad to not be going there anymore. Pregnancy and childbirth is such an amazing miracle. It has been so wonderful to be living it this past 11 months and it's a little sad to be done.
tle photographer!) I'm not sure what we're doing, but it looks like something important. The last pic is of Holly with Grant and I. We love you so much Holly! Thankyou so much for all of your fantastic care of both me and Grant. We've had such a great time with you this past year and will miss you very much. And to all the other fantastic women at the SABC we love you too! Thanks for everything!
...DO NOT under any circumstances EVER go to downtown San Antonio on a Saturday during spring break with small children. (This is not to say that we didn't have fun, b/c we did, but we also grew a few gray hairs!) Our friends Chris and Falene from came to visit us and we went to Brackenridge Park and the Riverwalk. I have never, in all my years seen this park so packed! It took us an hour to find a parking spot! Then we decided to go to the Riverwalk and that was even more insane! Lillie and Samuel were pretty cranky too, though Aidan and Grant were superstars!
So Grant is officially 1 month old tonight at 1:51 am. Like any new parent I have to say, I do not know where the time has gone. But this time around I knew from experience that it goes fast and I am making sure to treasure every moment. We're all settling in nicely. Grant is super mellow just like Lillie and Samuel. He is also very alert and gaining weight quickly in the true form of a Doolittle baby. It's been a fantastic month and we are having so much fun with our new little guy.
Grant and Holly, midwife extrordinaire! This is his 2 week check up where he already weighed 9lbs 10oz. I forgot to get a pic until he was already in his carseat! Not very personal!
Hello All, So everybody knows by now but I'm blogging for posterity's sake! Announcing our new arrival:
Here is Grants first bath. He doesn't seem too happy about it does he.
