Gray 8 Months

Grayson,

8 Months old on June 29th. Where in the world has the last 8 months gone? You change so much every single day and are turning into the sweetest little guy! Here are a few things you have been up to this last month.

*We switched you to size 4 diapers.

*I am slowly transitioning you to size 12-18 month clothes because you are so incredibly long!!

*You still eat 6oz of Breast milk every 4 hours during the day and still wake to eat once in the night.

*You still go to bed between 8-9pm sometimes 7pm depending on how you napped that day and you wake up between 6-7am

*You usually take 2 main naps every day with a couple of cat naps in between.

*You no longer want to be held to drink your bottle and you want to be the one to hold it. Breaks Momma's heart. Since you became semi mobile you don't want to be still that long so it is struggle to hold you!

*On June 6th we welcomed your little cousin Maddox into the world. You are 7months and 8 days apart. I'm pretty sure he will be one of your best friends. He's pretty sweet just like you!

*June 16th Daddy celebrated his first Fathers Day as a Daddy of two. He sure loves you and you sure love him.

*Every day when Daddy gets home you get so excited just like your brother does. Makes my heart smile.

*June 20th We went to OKC for Brooke and Steven's wedding. On June 21st you went swimming for the first time with Aunt Jetta, Daddy, and bubba while Mommy was at the Bridal Luncheon. That night you went to your first wedding and did so so good.

*You had another ear infection and the doctors said they wanted to do tubes because you had 3 in a month and a half. Monmma wasn't so happy with that plan so we started seeing Dr. Opal. She does Upper Cervical Chiropractic and it has helped a TON!!! We went back to the doctor and they were SHOCKED at how much better your ears looked! Such a huge relief that your little body will be able to heal itself better.

*You love your Jumperoo and bounce like a mad man. Your bouncer is almost a thing of the past because you are getting so big. You LOVE your Mamaroo now and Momma loves it cause you will sit there and watch me cook dinner or do the dishes perfectly content.

*You also LOVE Mickey Mouse. Anytime anything else is on tv you usually don't pay any attention, until Mickey comes on. You become glued. So stinking cute how excited you get.

*We started real food. I purred your first sweet potatoes and you loved them, then we tried avocado and that was your favorite. We also tried carrots and puffs this month. You love sitting in your highchair and eating your puffs all by yourself.

*You have become a little fish when we take baths. You are always trying to get away from me and kicking your little legs like you're going to take off swimming.

*The only way you like Mommy to hold you to fall asleep is with your head on my chest. Melts my heart.

*You have become quite the loud little talker. Always saying DADADADA. Wish you would start with MAMAMA :) Oh well anything you say is super precious.

*You FINALLY mastered sitting up and look so cute doing it. You still topple over every so often. When you fall it's usually because your brother ran by fast and you jerk to try to see what he's doing.

*Your brother is definitely your favorite person and the way things are going he always will be. You want to be involved in everything he does so so bad. I pray he always is sweet and patient with you and lets you be apart of his life.

*You reach for people when you want them to hold you or take you away from whoever has you currently.

We look forward to each and every day with you. Each moment is cherished and we will store them in our hearts forever. You are trying a little joy and we couldn't be more blessed that you are ours. We love you to the moon and back. Keep smiling little one! The world is so much better with you in it. You have my heart always and always.

Love,
Mommy
