Gray...He's Growing Like a Weed!

Well it's been back to Daddy & Graylon Days here in Winterville as Mommy went back to work. We have developed a nice routine for play time, feedings, naps, and diaper changes. Gray is growing both physically and mentally at what seems like a much faster rate. Mentally, he is grabbing more and recognizing things more. We used to sit him in his laying down bouncing chair and simply bounce him with our foot. Now, I can't put him in it without a teddy bear or a rattle or simply his burp cloth. Physically, he IS a weed! Just today I marveled at the growth in his head alone. He is super long, and currently is sleeping in a 6 month sleeper. We are so proud of him, and we're really anxious to get Dr. Aldridge's opinion on Tuesday.

Heather and I have been on a fit kick. We're trying to eat better and Tuesday and Wednesday we incorporated a family walk around the block. Gray was a champ both days and is a great motivator for his Mommy and his Daddy. He seems to be increasing his energy level too. Just today I walked in to check on him in his crib, and he had back-shimmied himself into a corner (pictured below). We are reminded often to always be on our toes as a Mom and Dad. We are aware he is growing, but we have to make sure to grow as parents with each change Graylon encounters. I am proud of our parenting evolution thus far, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Once again the latest pictures are posted. The first two are from last weekend's trip to Dalton. The others are just from random nights around the house. Until next time...



Graylon is taking notes on what to do next March on his special day.



Grandma Sharon had all three of her grandchildren together for the first time. Can you tell she's a tad bit happy about that?



"Boy, that walk in the stroller was exhausting!"



"Look how far I can squirm!"



Look at Graylon in a 6 month sleeper. He's HUGE!
