9 month & First Haircut!

Grayson turned 9 months a little over a week ago. I took him to the doctor this past Wednesday for the well check. He was 22lb, which puts him between the 50% & 75% weight on the growth charts. He was 30 inches tall, that puts in a little above the 95% for height. He is tall, I just hope he keeps that height. Grayson is otherwise growing just fine, everything is healthy and good : ) Doctor checked his ears to see how the ear infection from the previous week looked...he indicated they looked great!

I will post a few pictures from Grayson's first haircut!! I went to get my hair done and the we all agreed that he needed a little trim around the ears and back. He did so good!! : ) It kinda made me sad, yes I know I am a sap but oh man he is getting so big.

Just a little update..We had a wonderful and yet memorable first Thanksgiving together with Grayson. We went to Brady's mom and dad first than over to my grandparents house in the evening. When we left my grandma's Grayson's cheeks seemed very rosy but I just figured it was warm in there, he had a long day and was spent. After getting home around 830ish I gave Grayson a bath and pretty much fed him his last bottle and he went to bed. However, he did not go to bed as good as he usually does, he fought me a little. After finally falling asleep, I kinda thought he was acting a little off. Yup, about 20 minutes later he woke up screaming. The same scream he had 2 1/2 weeks ago when he had the ear infection. I just knew, he we were in it again, my poor little man was in a lot of pain. You can just tell it hurts so bad. I just couldn't put him through another night of pain. So...we drove to Red Wing and went into Urgent Care. Yup..just as I had thought, DOUBLE ear infection!!! Ahh..man. Soo thank goodness we went in they were able to get him started on the antibiotic right away and also provided us with some ear drops that help with the pain (they numbed his ear) So, one thing is for sure we will never forget our little mans first Thanksgiving, because we spent 3 hours of it in the ER.
He is slowly getting better, it has been a pretty quiet weekend around here. A lot of sleeping and resting.

We did go get our tree yesterday, Grayson seemed to be pretty intrigued with what was going on.

Halloween and First Snow Fall

Grayson's first Halloween was a success. He seemed to enjoy it as much as an 8 month old could. He dressed as an elephant and did not seem to mind being in the costume. We did the parade in Cannon Falls on the Friday before; Grayson just hung out in his stroller and enjoyed watching all the kids in costumes run around.

Today we had our first snow fall. Boy did we get some snow. I have to say I do love the fist few snow falls, but after that I am usually ready for it to be spring. : ) We decided to go to Perkins this morning for breakfast but before we went we had to get Grayson all bundled up in some snow gear and take a couple picture of him in his first snow fall. OHH, all the firsts. However, I believe the last snow falls was Feb 23 and that was the day we brought him home from the hospital so I guess this isn't technically his first snow fall. Anyway, here are some picture of Halloween and him in the snow today ! He has his nine month check up on the 23rd, so I will have to post his growth.

Ohh, I guess we had another, not so fun, first this past week. Grayson had his first ear infection..ohh my goodness was that not fun for mom, dad and Grayson : ( He cried for 7 hours Monday night, it was the most horrible night of my life. I felt so bad for him. He is on amoxicillin and doing much much better.
