3 months & Baptism

Grayson will be 3 months on Wednesday. It is so hard to believe that that much time has already past. He has grown so much in the last month. Holding his head up SO good, he rolled from his belly to his back, talking (cooing and caaing) a lot more everyday and man does this kid SMILE!! Smile, smile, smile. It is the greatest. He is laughing more and more everyday too. I think I could go on and on but I don't think I have enough time. I guess I understand now how parents can sometime seem like they brag about their children. I am already constantly talking him up.

Yesterday we had Grayson's baptism. Kelly & Rich were the godparents. Grayson did GREAT during the service, didn't make a peek. I think I was more worried about him puking while we were up there than anything, but we were good there too. Yes, he is still puking a lot. Some days I think it is better but then the next he will be puking a lot so I think it is just gonna take time.
I will post some pics from the baptism.

I have been trying to take lot of pics over the past few weeks. Following this update I will just post some misc pics of our little guy.

Overall Grayson is doing very well. Still sleeping through the night, gotta LOVE that. I have been told my many people that he is a very well natured baby. I don't know any different but I guess I am lucky.

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.

First Easter




Sticking our feet in the sand for the first time!! (Doesn't he look excited)

Family Picture!

Twins Game and More..

Well our vacation is going great! We have had wonderful weather so far. We have bascially been hanging out at mom and dad's just soaking up the sun and enjoying our time to JUST RELAX!! I have been trying to take lots of pictures. Trying to document Grayson's first vacation as best I can. To follow are just some radom pictures of Grayson, Brady and I down here in Florida.











We went to a Twins game today. It was prefect weather! Grayson slept through the whole game, so we got to fully enjoy ourselves. However...I am VERY upset with myself. I think I asked Brady 300 hundred times to make sure we had the camera because I wanted to take lots of pictures. Well, he did his part and remembered to bring it, but when we got there and went to take our first pic of the outside of the field the BATTERY WAS DEAD!!! Ohh was I mad at myself. So, all I have to document of that little outing was a couple pics of us with Grayson in our Twins gear.

Stay tuned for more on our trip, we have one more week left.

My Little Dude in a Swimsuit

Today we put on the swimsuit I bought for Grayson to try it out. I thought I would share with you some pictures of that. It's a little big, but boy was it cute!!! We put him in the pool this afternoon, he seemed to like it again. I will have to record him next time with my camera and put a little blimp on here. We recorded it but it was with our camcorder and I am unable to download that onto here.
We also got a quick family pic. I believe this is one of our first.

Little Post from Florida!

So we arrived in Florida Wednesday night. Grayson did AWESOME on the plane! He ate before we left our house for the airport and slept for the couple hours we were at the airport. So when we boarded the plane he was HUNGARY...which was perfect. He sucked down a bottle and passed out! He slept the whole time, I was so relieved. Not to mention he slept that night from 1-6am, the longest stretch he has ever done. It was really nice for Brady and I after a long day of traveling.

So far the weather has been beautiful. 80's both days and today looks like it will be hot too! We put Grasyson in the pool the other day, he seemed to love it. This kid likes water, he loves baths and now I have learned he loves the pool. Here is a picture of Grayson with his hat...I just had to share it.

More to come from Florida!

4 Weeks Old!!

I thought I would do a quick post here before we leave. We take off tonight for Florida. Grayson very first vacation. I am very nervous for the plane ride. I just pray his ears don't bother him and he sleeps the WHOLE time!!

Grayson was 4 weeks on Friday. I can't be live he is already a month old. It seems like I waited and waited for his arrival and now I can just tell time is going to fly! He got weighed last Monday, he topped the scale at 10lb 4oz. So he has now gained a little of 1 lb since broth. It think we have finally started to gain weight..YEA! We were struggling there for a little bit to get him to gain consistently but we figured out that I was not producing enough for him. As much as I wanted nursing to go well my child needs to eat so, we are having to supplement formula so he gets full. I am currently still nursing but I am not to sure how long I will continue due to the fact that I am producing about half of what he needs, if that sometimes. We will see when we get back how things are going.

He has his 2 month check on April 21st, I will for sure give an update than

I hopefully will give an update while we are in Florida with some pics of Grayson. We will be gone for 15 days...I can't tell you how excited Brady and I are to be able to do this...we need it!
