It's May!!!

Hello, Well Grayson has been doing great! He is changing everyday and I am now in the wait and see when he takes his first steps! I know it is coming and even though I got to see his first time crawling on camera... I truly pray that I witness first hand him walking! He is getting close! He sure does try but I say we prob have close to a month before he is truly walking!

Well Grayson has NEVER been a big fan of baby food! I have felt horrible that he has lost weight and does not eat like the other kids! I have felt like such a failure with baby food cause he should be eating more, but other than force feeding there was NOTHING I could do to eat! Well he has been eating baby puffs (ie: baby crack) and other dissolvable baby foods and loves them but I have not felt like they were enough or nutritious for him! Well last week I went to lunch with Keely and Ty and he ate green beans like a champ! He has not eaten green bean baby food in months! Then he ate a banana and strawberries and cantalope during the mommy group play date! Well he has been doing better with the baby food and eating more, but well I have figured out the trick to my child! He thinks he is a big boy and needs to eat big boy food! At school this week he has eaten the same foods the big kids eat and LOVES it! Also, since he started school in January he has stopped taking bottles, I have feared what would happen and that he will starve! Well last week my mom figured out why he doesn't take the bottles, even though I have told them NUMEROUS times he must be held and the bottles need to be warmed that he is a BF baby and they must cuddle to eat! Well they have gone against my wishes and they put him in a chair and make him hold his bottle, well no wonder he doesn't eat, he gets bored and it is too much work so he would rather play! Well I talked to them again and he is now eating like a champ! Yay!

Next, my boy has figured out how to sleep! Thank the lord! I have been SO tired! The boy comes home and eats and goes to bed then sleeps till about 1am, then back to sleep till 6am, then back to sleep till 830-9am! That is a great nights sleep! Yes the trips up at night suck! But they are short and he goes back to sleep!

So that is what is going on with Grayson! He is standing, eating table food, oh and the cutest thing! Mom watches Grayson for me in the evenings before I get off of work, well he has figured out that when he hears the door open it is me! He can be crying and he the door open and he crawls off mom's lap down to the floor and takes off to the door to meet me! It makes me smile cause he is SO excited to see me!

I love my big boy!
