Grayson is growing up so fast! He is such a sweet, bubbly, handsome little boy and so much fun! He just giggles & loves to bounce. He just started making the "rasberries" noise {2.14.12} & thinks it is so funny :) He completely melts my heart on a daily basis!
Grayson is becoming mobile!! He has been working hard on his crawling techniques but isn't quite there yet. He does rock back & forth on his hands & knees. He can get to the toy he wants though, he moves really fast & kind of army crawls/scoots on his tummy {2.9.12}! He has started getting his feelings hurt when we tell him "No"...he pokes his lip out & his eyes fill up with tears...maybe he is starting to really understand what it means :) {2.10.12} Grayson is really getting big & is very smart. He really likes when you play with him & talk to him. And he loves to be out & about with Mommy! He is very attached to me...he will let anyone hold him but the second I walk out of his sight, he gets upset! I took Grayson for his 2nd flu shot {1.17.12}, he didn't even cry but he did look up at me with those eyes full of tears & his bottom lip poked out...I quickly picked him up & shed a few tears for him! Since Grayson is getting on all 4s, we went ahead & lowered his crib down a notch{1.29.12}. We also took the bed down in the extra bedroom to start working on converting it to a playroom {1.29.12}.
