Mothers Day and Stats

I'm so happy to have joined the mama ranks this year and to have celebrated my first Mothers Day! It was a wonderful day, and I'm just so proud of Grayson and our little family. We celebrated with a day trip to the Danish village of Solvang, CA, where we had a nice brunch and a stroll around town. Grayson did wonderfully! He's such a sweet baby - he even gave me a little present and laughed for the first time! He's been trying to chuckle for weeks now, but this was a real giggle! What a lovely first Mothers Day present from my boy. 

We also went to Grayson's latest doctor's appointment today! Kid's still packing it on and growing tall. We've jumped to the 50th percentile, too, up from the 25th where we've been sitting since his birth. He now weighs 14 lb, 5 oz, and is 25.25 inches long! That's my boy. 

Here are a few pictures of Mothers Day:

3 Months

It's really hard to believe that it's already been three months since Grayson was born! I look at the pictures from his birth and the first days in the hospital, and it just amazes me how far he's come. Where once he could barely open his eyes, he's rolling over and smiling (LOTS) and trying so hard to laugh! It's so much fun to watch him grow.

Things Grayson loves:
-The bouncer: the toy bar has a smiling lion and monkey, and he smiles when he sits in it and 'talks' to them! It's very cute.

-Whistling: Anytime he's fussing, he can be easily distracted with whistling. If he's happy, whistling makes him break out the big grins!

-Reading stories: Every afternoon, Gray and I read stories, and he loves it! He really looks at the pages, and the whole time his arms and legs are waving around while he 'talks' to the pages. He gets particularly excited when he sees Elmo. He fixates on other red things too, but not quite with the same excitement as that little Muppet. He's grown attached to a particular Elmo story called So BIG!

I love being his mommy!
