SHPC Fall Festival

Dear Grayson, HAPPPY HALLOWEEN!! I'm not so sure you think this is a great holiday yet. I have a feeling you will enjoy it more in the years to come.

Your mom and I took you to the fall festival at church. You were fairly overwhelmed with it all, but we did find another sweet pea!! She was only three months old.

I am not sure hats are your favorite either!! I'll love you for all the Halloweens to come....Love, YaYa

Fall Outings!

Dear Grayson, You really can't tell from this pic, but you had a great weekend playing with me!! I do think you were a little overwhelmed at times. These pictures are from the Avondale Art Show. We went with Tristan and Carolyn.

You were such a big boy checking out the fire truck!!

Tristan was glad you came to the fair with him. You both got little wooden cars. I am not sure if you played with yours as much as Tristan played with his!!

And GrandDude hung up a swing for you!! You really LOVED this. I can see you enjoying swinging a lot in the coming months. You are certainly cute with your hat on!!

Thanks, GrandDude!! You're the best!! I love you all year round, Grayson Rogers!! Love, YaYA

YaYa Loves Taking Pics!!

Dear Grayson, I have had the best weekend taking lots and lots of pics of you doing all kinds of things!! You and I have been super busy. These are some of the best pics of you and your mom and Helen. I LOVE them!!

You look like you can't wait to get a hold of Helen's earrings!!

These two are my favorites. You look so happy and like you are enjoying life totally. You are a fine, fine baby and we are going to keep you!! LOL!! All my love forever, YaYA

Food, glorious food!!

Dear Grayson, Mommy and Daddy have started feeding you some cereal and vegetables. It took a little bit for you to get the hang of eating from a spoon--sucking it off your fingers was far more efficient in your book!!

Helen thinks feeding you is grand. She is surprised by how incredibly messy you can be!! And by how much comes out of your mouth again!!

Sweet potatoes are by far your favorite!! You literally squeal and kick your feet for more. We can hardly shovel it in fast enough.

You are a big, growing boy for sure!! I love you even with the messiest face ever!! Love always, YaYa

My aunt is going to AUBURN!!!

Dear Grayson, You have been so supportive of Helen!! She is very excited about going to Auburn. And Grayson, you wore your Auburn onesie the first weekend after Helen was accepted. You looked super CUTE. Hollan, the dog, also loved having you rub her belly with your foot.
You are going to be a bicultural kind of guy for sure. Lucinda has you wearing an Alabama outfit for game days, and now you have Auburn garb as well. Daddy was a little surprised since he is an Ole Miss fan!!
War Eagle!!! Much love forever and always, Yaya

Exersaucer!!

Dear Grayson, You are loving' an exersaucer!! and this one has a little bit of everything. Your brain is working so hard trying to learn all the activities. You get so intent....

and, then....success!! You get it to spin and make noise!

You are exceptionally pleased with your accomplishments!!

Grayson!! The master of his universe!!! Go, little boy!!

After playing so long in the exersaucer, it is definitely time for a rest with GrandDude-- and a little bit of finger sucking. You are able to comfort yourself pretty well.

Grayson, you are such a happy boy!! We love you to the moon and back and even more!! I look forward to playing with you this weekend and taking you to Lucinda's for the Alabama football game. You'll look great in your new AL onesie. Helen says she is going to buy you an Auburn onesie, so you can be a bi-cultural kind of guy!! All my love, YaYa
