New Tricks

Dear Grayson,

You are almost six months old!! You are finding your feet....you love playing peekaboo
(you are playing peekaboo with the blanket here)....and you love your family. You are such a happy little boy!!

This has been a month where you were sick several times. Last week you had some kind of fever virus--your temp was 103.8. We all worried about you then. You missed a week of daycare--and the daycare women called to check on you because they missed their favorite little fellow.

This last picture is of you and me (!!) totally passed out. It had been a long sick day for both of us.

Grayson, you will be six months old in two days. It is so hard to believe that we have only known you for such a short time. You have filled all our hearts to the brim with love for you. I can't wait to see what the next six months brings!! Love always, YaYa

Five Months Old!!

Dear Grayson, You turned five months old this week!! That seems really incredible. You are such a happy boy and you are learning all kinds of new things. You had a cold for the first time this week. The daycare sent you home with a temp of 99.3!! a little overkill, but that is OK. You then got to go with me to work one day. You were the best employee ever!!

I went to another church sale and bought you this super, fun exersaucer. You are a little overwhelmed with all the bells and whistles. Your head just bobs all over--you are SO close to being able to sit up alone! When you are tired or excited, it is definitely much more difficult to hold your head up and straight.

I have joined a children's book club! This is your favorite book so far--it has a speaker and magnets in it and it "talks" when you turn the pages. You especially love it because there is a baby laughing on every picture. You keep looking to see where that baby is!!

Since you've been growing so much (and especially while you were sick), your mom has been carrying you in the sling. You are almost too heavy for her to carry you AND your car seat!! You are a big, growing boy!! You do love the sling and sitting so close with Momma.

Happy five months old, Baby Gray!! I love you soooooo much!! YaYa
