I wish I had a CPA visor for him to be wearing ;)

Embrace the camera: Feb. 9

My parents brought a Valentines Day gift for Grayson down with them this past weekend.  My mom was very excited about the outfit that she had gotten for Gbug, so we opened the gift pretty quickly after they arrived.  The outfit itself is for the summer, but the hat that she got to go with it was able to fit his head pretty well already.  The Hubs loves baby hats, so we had to get a family shot with Grayson in his new fancy hat.

I'm sad that this is the only family picture that we took while my parents were in town because I'm not crazy about it, but the baby in the middle makes any picture look a lot better.  It is pretty much impossible to keep Grayson's hands out of his mouth right now, and as you can see, P tried to restrain one arm, but the other prevailed.  Gray sure does love his yummy fingers right now.

Grayson giggles

While my parents were in town this past weekend, we decided to go shopping for some clothes for Grayson since he refuses to stay a size 0-3 month forever! (how rude).  My mom and I were in the backseat of the car (her new car, so pretty!), and Grayson just thought she was the funniest thing EVER.  P and I had never heard him laugh so continuously, so it was a joy for all of us.  I think it was his birthday gift for Mimi. Enjoy!

This is something new that I have decided to try out as another scheduled post for the week.  I have noticed that we take a ton of pictures of Grayson every week, but I have very few pictures of P or myself with the little bean.  Another blog that I read does a link up every Thursday of parents with their kids reminding us to intentionally get in front of the camera to document life with our sweeties.  I realize this will be tough since I don't always feel like I'm camera ready, but it will at least increase the odds of me liking some pictures with Gray at every stage of his little baby life.
The first picture that I have is one of P and Grayson before a family walk that we took this week.  We were experimenting with Grayson looking forward in the Bjorn.

Keep your head up

Grayson surprised us during tummy time yesterday with a 90 degree angle!  When we were at his 4 month pediatrician visit, we were asked if he was holding his head up at a 90 degree angle, and we had to say no.  For the last week or so, when we would try tummy time, Gray was not interested in lifting his head up at all, instead, using it as a good time to suck on his fingers.  It literally seems like he went from a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree angle over night.

Head at 90 degrees - 18 1/2 weeks

When it comes to milestones, we have decided that he is indeed a few weeks behind due to his early arrival.  As long as I keep that in mind when we go in for check-ups, I'll be okay.  He will meet the milestone...it just might take a few weeks longer.  Doesn't he look like such a big kid now!?
