Pure Joy

Grandaddy took us out to dinner last night (he is in town all week for business), and Grayson was so cute throughout the meal.  I got my phone out to take his picture because he had his arm on the table and was resting his head on it (SO cute), but of course he moved before I could snap the picture.  He seems to be understanding that the camera is something to smile at, so he made a super cheese ball face at the camera.  He is just the light of our lives!

In the past, Grayson was interested in being near Jackson and getting kisses from Jackson, but we wouldn't let him get too close because he would get excited and start hitting Jackson.  Lately though, he reaches out really gently and tries to pet Jack.  It is so sweet!  Unfortunately for him, Jack still expects to get hit, so he doesn't stick around too long when Gray starts extending his arm.

 This week Grayson has started to move around like this because he will try standing up from that position.  It is so funny to watch him crawl around with his booty in the air.  Fun story:  My dad got in town Monday evening, and I was telling him that Gray's buddy at school has started walking.  As I was talking about that, Gray deliberately stood up and took one step!  We then tried for about an hour to recreate the whole thing, but G wouldn't have anything to do with it.  Oh well, we saw his first step!  Now we just wait until he feels like doing it again.

This is the "I'm not doing anything wrong!" smile.  This is most usually seen when we call his name if he is going for Jackson's bowls or toward the bar - which is the case in this picture.  Silly boy :)
