Grayson = 6 months!

Today is Grayson's "6 month birthday"!

I can't believe it...it does not feel like it has been 6 months since he was born, and to think in 6 more months he will be a year old!

Part of me wants that time to be a little slower so I can still enjoy my little bug, but at the same time I want it to go by just as fast, if not faster as the first 6 months because not only will Grayson be 1 year old in 6 months, Zak will also be home for 2 weeks of R&R! YAY! And then after that there will only be 4 more months until he is home and finished with this deployment! SUPER YAY!

We had Grayson's 6 month well baby appointment today, which went pretty darn well, he is always good at the doctors...although babe, you are going to love this --remember his very first appointment ever, 2 days after we left the hospital....well I guess he wanted to relive a certain moment from that appointment :p oh yeah you know what I am talking about hahaha. He is such a little monster.

He is very healthy which makes me happy, he is on track for his development both physically and mentally -a few things about Grayson:

• He is eating his baby foods..really loves pears, prunes, peas and green beans but will eat it all except bananas which is funny because neither Zak nor myself like bananas.
• When feeding him, I give him his own spoon and he puts it in his mouth trying to feed himself -so cute.
• Starting to hold his bottle.
• He has completely figured out his exersaucer. He knows what things play music and light up and how to press them to do it, he knows how to turn himself completely around in it and grab at all the other things.
• Sleeping in his own crib in his own room through the night :)
• Understands "Daddy" and "Dada" and smiles so big when I say it.
• Loves, and I mean loves watching videos of Zak and of him and Zak and gets upset with me when they are over.
• He can sit unsupported for about a minute! -When he gets really excited he pushes himself back hehe.
• Annnnnnd he has his 1st tooth coming in!

So many little changes going on with him and I am very excited for them all!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I love you baby!
