Could it be an Albus Dumbledore twin??


Some loyal fans have noticed an odd resemblance between Baby Grant and actor Michael Gambon. What do you think?

Hey... Remember Me?


You may wonder why there are no recent pictures of Ava and Grant together. After a few unexpected squeezes at her newborn brother... Ava is only allowed to touch his feet and kiss him under adult supervision.
Poor baby!

Cooking Tamales!



At one week, Grant is already a master at mixing tamale dough.

Meet Grant!


Grant Peterson Baxla was born December 12, 2006 just after 8 in the morning. He weighs 7lbs 5oz and is in perfect health.
He has lots of dark hair. This baby... said to look more like his mother than the last!
After 12 hours of labor he came out after an hour of pushing... and he came out with his eyes open!
Donnie and Theresa are doing well, and Theresa is hoping for a quick and painless recovery.
Grant's parents and relatives are proud to have him, especially his Aunt Tammy. After all... they do share the same birthday, 28 years apart!

Ava and Grant meet for the first time


Ava doesn't know what to think of her new brother. It'll take some time.

Aren't I cute?


I have long fingernails for a newborn. My eyes are dark, my hair is dark and plentiful!

Do we look alike?


Yes... finally!

Do we look alike?



Donnie usually screams louder.

Fresh out of the womb...

Once the head came out... he slid right out!

Time to push...

Finally, at 6:30 am it's time to push!

Progressing nicely...

Contractions came every 2-6 minutes
for the most part. After a while... I forgot
about them thanks to some good drugs!
