2 Months Old!!

Grayson was 2 months old this past Monday. I can't believe 2 months have already past. I have a feeling he will be a year old before we know it. Well, he has started to do lots of different things in the past few weeks.

He started smiling at 4 weeks old, smiling that is without it being gas...haha He is now able to look at us and flash us a huge smile!! It makes everything sooo worth it. He does really well at holding his head up, still a little wobbly at times but pretty darn good I think. He LOVES sucking on his RIGHT hand. I am not sure if he realizes he is sucking on his own hand, guessing probably not. He sure does like sucking on it once he gets it to his mouth. It always seems to be his right hand too, we try and put his left in there and he won't really suck on it as well. The biggest accomplishment I would have to say is my little man has been sleeping through the night!!!! He started doing it about a week ago, I am trying to not get to excited because I am sure it could change. It has been so nice though, he seems to go to bed between 8-10 and sleeps till anywhere between 4 & 6. Grayson has definetly become more of a baby in the last few weeks vs being "so infanty" (I know that is not a word). He follows you, smiles and is even getting his voice. He is cooing and caaing, it is all VERY cool!!

He had his 2 month check on Wednesday. He weighed 12lb 2oz, which puts him at the 50% for weight. He measured 23inches, which also puts him at the 50% for height. His head measured 15 inches, that puts him at the 25% for head size. All in all he is growing very well. He checked out great with the doctor, everything seems perfect so far. We did discuss the puking and as long as he is gaining weight which he is there is, there not much we can do. He is however on Zantec to possibly help with the constant refulx but he has been on it for about 2 weeks now and I can say I have not noticed a HUGE difference. They did take an ultrasound and x-ray two weeks ago to rule out Pyloric Stynosis (I think that is how it spell it). He does not have that so we know he is pretty much just a very puky baby.

I did go back to work two weeks ago. It was hard but I would have to say it was kinda bitter sweet. Nice to get back into a routiune and working BUT sad that I'm not with my little man all day! I'm just working three to three in a half days right now. Having one-two days off is really nice. I feel like I'm not missing out to bad. He seems to be doing really well with Grandma Kelly. I think it helps me knowing he is safe and being well taken care of.

Here are just a couple recent pics of our little dude. I will try and take more and get them up here.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! Well our vacation is winding down...we have 2 full days left.
We could not have asked for better weather and a better time together.

Today we went to church and to brunch downtown Fort Myers. It was a very nice way to spend Easter this year.

Not much else to update, this trip has been very mellow. We did go to the Mucky Duck, a really cool restaurant on Captiva Island. I have been going there since I was a baby, so I wanted to bring Brady and Grayson. It was a a beautiful day! This restaurant is on the beach so we got some pictures of Grayson in the sand (pictures to follow this post). Other than that we have pretty much lay by the pool and relaxed!!

Couple things about my liitle guy. He is 6 weeks now. Last night we had a couple huge moments, first moment was that he slept 7 1/2 hours!!!! How awesome for Brady and I. I'm not counting on it happening tonight again, thinking maybe just a fluke. LOL! We will see. Other big moment...he smiled at me. His first non-gas smile. He actually smiled and giggled. It makes everything worth it. It was the coolest moment ever.

On another note, we have noticed that Grayson's puking has increased. Whether it is from me not nursing any longer or if he really has an issue. I quit nursing about a week ago because I was only producing 1 1/2 oz over a 6 hour period....and that was only from the one side that worked. The other side dried up 2 weeks ago. Oh well, it is frustrating because you want everything to work right, but, it is what it is. Maybe things will be different the next child....in year what!!!!!!!!?????? ANYWAY, we have a DR. appt when we get home and we'll see what he says.

Otherwise here are a few more picture from down here in Florida.
