I'm having a hard time believing Grayson is 6 months old. Thank you Lord for such an amazing, happy & healthy baby boy!
Grayson's personality is really developing. He is such a happy & sweet baby, always laughing & smiling {he's in a good mood 99% of the time}. He has the sweetest little chuckle & his eyes will just make you melt!! He could seriously do a commercial with his facial expressions. Grayson is really curious about exploring his environment. He is doing really good about noticing things & trying to reach them. And he's getting good at sitting up, he can pull himself forward to a sitting position while in his bouncer. He is saying "dada" & tries to say "Mama" but doesn't associate either yet {11.16}. It is definitely getting harder to get anything done while he is awake :) He loves to giggle & laugh ... and I love to listen to him! I attempted to wean him from the swaddle again {12.12}, thankfully he transitioned perfectly & still sleeps through the night {I lay him in his crib, put the paci in his mouth & give him Ernie, he goes right to sleep}. He isn't crawling yet, but will roll all over the place to get what he wants.

-He studies faces & wants to touch our faces all the time
-He makes an "Ummm" sound when he eats baby food :)

-He sucks on his bottom lip
-He bangs his keys against the table while sitting in his bumbo
-He anticipates his bottle...he will lean towards it & grab it to try to put it in his mouth
-He does this new thing where he grabs his hands together then extends them & brings them back to his chest, he moves them out & in really fast...it's too cute!
