5 Months Old and CRAZY!


Hello to all! Oh my gosh, summer has come and gone...it seems like yesterday we were having a baby. I hope everyone's summer was good. As we begin fall, we'll share our summer's experiences with you. Mel is back at work now. She says she's part-time, but she works every chance she gets. Grayson is doing good in daycare...the gals love him. We like having him just downstairs...we go visit him every chance we get, not to mention Mel is feeding him every 3 or so hours during work days.

Grayson now has a bag full of new tricks since that last update. He now rolls over both directions and both sides, can get on his hands and knees (God help us!), is seating on his own, eats his toes, and squeeks like a bird. He's always laughing, even when we put him in his crib for naps or bedtime. He's eyeing Buttons, the cat. She's even come up to him and he's grabbed her tail and tried to eat it. Yum-yum!

He tried his first food a few weeks ago. That was quite funny. (video links will be included to see all his tricks). He loves bananas and pears. He wasn't too sure about the squash, but he got through it. The rice cereal is....well, rice cereal.

He said Da-Da for the first time tonight. Mom's not too sure about that, but Dad sure loved it! He kept saying it over and over just to make the point for Mom!!

I climbed Mt. Rainier a few weekends ago. That was amazingly hard, but an experience I will never forget. Unfortunately, I came home to a sick baby and momma, and became sick myself with a temperature and everything. We're all three recovered now and back to our old selves.

Now, we're just getting ready to head to Kentucky for Thanksgiving, and Grayson's first Halloween. We'll make sure to send out pictures of his costume (you're going to love it!).

So, happy Halloween and Thanksgiving to all! We'll see most of you in Kentucky next month.
