Weddings, Reunions, and Jumping, Oh My!

It was a very big week in the life of Grayson Bridges! He took his first flight, attended his first wedding, and met many new relatives at my family reunion in Kansas. We learned a lot about traveling and hotel stays with a baby, but luckily, we'd braced ourselves for much more difficulty than we actually faced. In fact, we faced very little! He was a great traveler, despite some serious flight delays. The return has been a little bit tough on us all, what with the time difference and schedule changes, but Grayson remains his pleasant, playful self despite his wonky readjustment.

Today he turns the official 4 months old, too! Our little baby is growing so fast... While I lament this daily, there are two distinct advantages to this growing - getting big enough for some of his really cute outfits and the fun new toys he's ready for now! Brant sprung for a jumperoo this week, and boy does Grayson love it! He's been bouncing around in the 'rainforest' all morning, spinning the color wheel, talking to the smiling sunshine, and loving the fact that he's eye level with Sam, which Sam also seems to love. Behold the future of Grayson and Samwise: Partners in Crime! Just moments ago, I took Gray into his room for a nap, laid him down, and there's Sam - laying loyally beside the crib. Sam will be helping him eat his veggies in no time, I'm afraid, but my, oh my, will that boy and his dog be cute together...
