Growing up!

Next week Grayson will be 10 months old!!!! Wow, so much has changed with him...

He pulls up on everything, especially knobs to drawers or cabinets, he will even get as brave as to let go with one hand, then the other and falls on his bottom!

Grayson still loves his walker but also likes to have you hold his hands and let him walk around...this past weekend he started this dancing thing and giving high fives!

He has quite a memory too, he will find a button or something to push on, and he will remember exactly where it is no matter how much time passes or where else he goes that day...he loves to turn off his fan after every nap, you can't skip it because he will practically jump out of your arms to get to it!

We got to go on an unexpected trip of sorts to Georgia this past weekend. Jason had a meeting in Atlanta so we came along and made a trip of it! Stayed with Mimi for a couple of nights and played, shopped, and played some more!!! Then it was off to Carrollton where my friend Stephanie was having a wedding shower, it was nice to see everyone and show Grayson off, the joys of motherhood!! We stayed with Grayson's Papa and Uncle Tyler and went out to eat, laughed, played, and repeat!!! The last night we got to eat with my Mema and I have a few pictures from her and Grayson, too cute!

Then we said goodbye and went back south and stayed the night with Uncle Jay, Aunt Lela, and Hannan! The two cousins were precious together, can't wait for them to see each other again already, and luckily Hannan turns 1 in a couple of weeks, so we have a birthday party to go to!! We had a wonderful meal, shrimp and grits, and got to spend the evening going to church and then hanging out with Papa Jay and Flossie. The next morning while we were packing up to finish our journey, we got to spend a little time with Grandma Sha and Hannan before getting on the road!

Whew! What a trip, and now we are just gearing up for the next trip or rather visit from Mimi and Papa for Easter weekend! The fun never ends and it is so nice to have family and friends to spend time with, priceless memories!

Walkers, crib soothers, and books oh my!

I feel as though I have to constantly be taking pictures of Grayson these days, he is growing and changing so much and I have him right in front of me! What a week, and we still have the weekend to go, who knows what he will be up to by the time Sunday rolls around!


When Grayson is in his walker, you can tell how proud he is of being able to run all over the house. Abe runs away and Grayson is not too far behind him laughing, they have had few successful encounters. Abe may be older, but he is still quick, but it doesn't seem to bother Grayson!

Little man is also working on his top two teeth, well for now only one is barely showing through, which would be funny if he just got one first, haha! Then the whole crawling thing, every time we are in his room we get on the floor and roll around crawl a little, and of course READ! He loves books, we go each week to story times at our local libraries. We are blessed to have so many libraries around us and they each have different story times for babies. I get to meet some mommies and Grayson gets to interact with other babies and we read, sing songs, and play with BUBBLES! Okay, I know it is for him, but I have a lot of fun too!! Still the center of attention, no matter where we go Grayson is smiling at everyone, he never meets a stranger.

Grayson has a crib soother as you can see in the pictures. We usually cut it on at night for him. However, he has other plans for his nap times! Downstairs I will have the monitor and all of the sudden I will hear the button being pushed multiple times, followed by the soother's music. If you go up and sneak in, he is millimeters away from the soother, and he doesn't mind getting caught, he just flashes a smile and keeps on doing it!
