Grayon - 2 months old
My last post on Grayson was in June! Yikes! That just tells me that July was INSANE! I hardly had time to even think about posting a new blog, let alone writing a few new blogs. Life with 3 kids is just so much more full and busy.
Grayson is such an amazing little baby; he takes great naps and sleeps at least one 6-7 hour stretch per night now, including a 3.5 hour stretch on top of that. So that means I am only getting up once during the night and it's generally around 4:30 or 5am. We're all a little happier, a little more content and more rested.
Letting Grayson cry himself to sleep a few times and getting into a routine of soothing himself has been the biggest helper. I can lay him down for naps or bed time and within 5 minutes he is out like a light.
He is really starting to get interested in everyone around him, especially Joshua and Saray. While nursing he'll stop to listen or strain his neck to see if he can spot them. It won't be long before he's off running with the twins.
Saray has taken a real interest in Grayson, especially now that he's smiling more and "talking". She thinks it's absolutely hilarious when he smiles and coos. She even will lay down on the play mat with Grayson and point out things on a certain toy. Grayson just soaks it all in. It's amazing to watch their friendship grow.
Grayson and Joshua are starting to develop a bond as well, it's been a little slower, mostly due to the fact that Joshua is a bit more of "doing my own thing" kind of kid. But he does really enjoy giving Grayson a good push in the baby swing, sometimes a little too good. And at that moment you can hear me saying from across the room, "BE GENTLE! Not sooo hard!" At that moment I feel bad for everyone involved; Grayson cause he has no control of the situation and for Joshua cause learning about differences and opposites.
At Grayson's 2 month check up he weighed 11lbs 7oz and 22 1/4 inches long. When Joshua was 2 months old he weighed 7lbs 11 oz and Saray weighed 8lbs 2 oz. No wonder I felt like the twins were in preemie, newborn and 0-3 month clothing for long! Josh at 4 months old was still in 0-3 month clothing! I have already had to pull out some 3-6 month clothing for Grayson.
Such a happy little camper (literally)

Where in the world did he get those dimples?
He's settled on the two middle fingers on his left hand.
