I continue to enjoy tummy time, watching my reflection, and working on my grasping skills. Mom and Dad are pretty wiped out from the last couple days, I’ve been eating a lot more, although they’re tired, they’re glad I’m growing and becoming so strong!
Mom has been telling me all about my late great uncle Gregory, seems I have a lot to live up to with my middle name. Great aunt Rhonda gave me the Harley Davidson shirt I’m wearing because uncle Greg loved bikes, they spent lots of time riding, even biking from VA to Daytona for their honeymoon. In some of the pictures you can see me showing off my new skill of holding my own bottle (I can’t really hold it, only for about five seconds when I try to reach for it, but I’m well on my way!) Thanks Rhonda, I hope I can make you proud! 🙂
Time keeps marching on, Canton is three weeks old today! He’s tipping the scales at about 8 lbs 4 oz and has grown about an inch. I can’t believe he’s been with us for three weeks already. He has grown so much and continues to learn so many new skills. It is incredible how you can be so in love with someone before you even meet them, and to have that love grow each day is a true blessing. Words cannot describe the immense fulfillment we feel each day we get to spend with our little man.
Below are some pictures of Canton showing off his focusing skills and hanging out with his parents…
This video is a little late but better late than never! Aunt Becky gives Canton some encouragement to start crawling already!
Today, Canton’s grandparents and aunt Beth decided to come down and visit for the day! They were all excited to see how much he had grown and took turns feeding and burping him throughout the day. Once the day was over and things calmed down, Canton decided to kick back, and get some good R&R.
Christy’s version of Patty-Cake is leading in the poll by a slim margin – be sure to get your vote in! Yes we can!
As Canton has been learning new things, one thing his Mom and Dad have taught him is Patty Cake. Now we need everyone’s help in deciding which “Patty Cake” song to teach him. Please give us your best Patty Cake song answer below while you check out Canton learning his Patty Cake steps!

Canton is two weeks old today! He went to the doctor yesterday and weighed in at whopping 7 lbs 13 oz! He is eating a lot more at his feedings, and he is getting good at keeping his parents awake, he was up for almost five hours (from 1115am – 4pm) today.
Below are some pictures of Canton hanging out with dad and playing in his gym. Mike has already begun his computer education, in one picture Canton looks like he is learning to type.
Canton has spent the last couple days working on his new grasping skills and continuing to grow. We took him outside a few times too, he’s not a big fan of all the sunlight (as evidenced by the squinting face) I guess he’s destined to sit behind a computer like dad! 🙂
Yesterday Canton was nine days old, and he looked like a whole new man to us! He has spent the last couple days showing off his new bigger face and grasping some toys on his activity gym–we’re quite impressed. The last picture shows how mad he was at us for making him work so hard, he decided he wanted to wear his “off to grandma’s shirt”. Canton misses you, but we’ll see you in a few weeks grandma!
Today was a pretty busy day, but Sean and Sara brought by a delicious meal for us so we didn’t have to cook, many many thanks to the Sharps!
Canton, Mommy, and Daddy were spending some quality Tummy Time today when Canton decided he wanted to see what else there was around him. So being the big 8 day-old man he is, he decided to lift his head off the mat and explore the world! It was only for a moment but Daddy was able to take a picture at the right moment! Next week is his ABCs, followed by bear hunting.
