WOW has the time flown by?? It seems like every time I write one of these I can't believe that he has already grown so much!! So this is the 6 Month update, and I'm a little late....About 10 days!
Doctor visit;
So the 6 month checkup went very well. Our doctor said that he couldn't remember seeing another 6 month old baby so active and aware of his surroundings...ever! And that everything was progressing just fine. He weighed 19lbs 1 oz and was 29 and 1/2 inches long.....That equates to 99% on height and 85% on weight. Grayson made it through the mandatory round of shots with about a 15 second burst of yelling .....Then back to looking around at what he could put in his mouth!! His mom didn't fair as well....I think her burst of yelling/tears lasted all day after the shots!! J/K!! HAHAHA
The 1st Halloween!!
So this is his first Halloween and he was a lobster! (as you can see!!) he had a good time, Grandma Yoder and cousin Devon came over to Trick or Treat with Grayson and Mom. I was on duty handing out candy at the house to the 30 year old Meth addicts that wanted free food..ie candy!! Grayson visited a couple of the neighbors houses and they all thought he was super cute!!
Thanksgiving!!
So, as you all probably know we are heading back to Kentucky for Thanksgiving....We are SUPER excited to see everyone and to let everyone meet Grayson that hasn't met him already! He is super stoked as well.....He told me so!! I will be having a mini 10 year class reunion at a classmate's house, that will be fun to see everyone and catch up and gossip about old times! I can't believe I've been out of high school for 10 years already....I hope life slows back down sometime before I turn 80??
The Crazy DAD?!?!
For those of you that might be keeping track or care.....I've been continuing my path to Ironman Canada 2007 with my training. I ran a 1/2 Marathon on the 29th of October ...It was called the Run Like Hell 1/2 Marathon. It takes place right here in downtown Portland. Out of 927 people I finished 73rd, in 1 hour and 35 minutes....I would not have beat Lance Armstrong in NewYork last weekend!!
So that is about it......Except for the fact the Grayson is now CRAWLING!!!! That is right the TERROR of the N.W. is now MOBILE!!! Be ready for destruction in NOVEMBER!!!
Check out some new pictures here....
