We have smiles!

Grayson has started smiling at us - on purpose! He continues to be a sweet, happy baby, sleeping hard, eating well, and making his parents proud with all of his new little developments. His awake times are getting longer and more interactive, too, which is a lot of fun!

Coming up on two months, now, and my return to work is imminent. SIGH. I've so enjoyed my time home with him, and I look forward to much more of it when school lets out for the summer... and maybe beyond.

The smiley guy:

Six weeks and growing like a weed!

We saw Gray's doctor this morning, and the kid is really packin' on the ounces! He's up to 9 lb 9 oz now, 22 inches long. His cuteness is increasing along with his size, and a little more of his personality is starting to come out. He's a very sweet boy - during the day, but he tests our patience a little bit in the evenings. We've figured out a few tricks to soothe him - namely listening to music in the dark with daddy, and an extra meal usually settles him down. Anyway, here are a few pics of the 6-week old Grayson Ray.

Napping Smiles...

A boy and his dog...

Swaddled and sleepy...

Waving 'hello'...

One whole month...

Crazy to think that one month ago this weekend we were camped out in the pediatric unit of the hospital just waiting to bring Grayson home. Well, he's come a long way in the past four weeks, growing and putting on weight like mad. Kid's now 8 lb, 3 oz and measures 21.25 inches long! Such a porker... :)

(I like this one because it looks like he's dancing with his alligator pal.)
