Grayson Blessing & Update

Grayson is now two months and 18 days old to be exact and time has flown by. The other week we went to his two month appointment and he is now 23 inches long and 10 pounds 9 ounces, still little for his age.

He is doing better and better every day. For the past week he has dropped the midnight feeding and just wakes up at 3:30 and 6:30- which I can totally handle. I put him to bed with the other kids at 8:00 and he goes to sleep on his own. I can't tell you how great it is to have my nights back. Aaron is still working from 12-9pm so he doesn't get home until about 9:30, so from about 8:15-9:30 it is "me" time- a time I look forward to everyday! (Wait-this post is not about me...back to Grayson)

He is now smiling and cooing at us. The kids love to see who can get him to smile first in the day. Emilee asks questions like, when is he going to talk? when is he going to walk? When will he say that he loves us? I told her that he can not do those things for a while but we know that he is happy and that he loves us because he smiles at us. I also told her that he show he loves us when he wraps his little fingers around our finger. So now whenever he wraps his finger around hers she gets so excited and says "He loves me mom!" it really is so sweet.

This past weekend we were able to bless him. Aaron did a great job with the blessing and I was a proud mama that day. We appreciate all of those that were able to come and support us that day. We wish all of our family could have been there, but we know they were there in spirit!

We went the non traditional route for a blessing outfit. I found a great website that makes matching dad and son ties. Grayson's little one is just too cute, I think I might put it in a shadow box with the copy of his blessing that my aunt and sister wrote down for him. Below are just a few pictures of the day. We are so grateful for our little guy.
