We cannot believe it, but G Doug is already 11 weeks old!
Here is a little update on what we have been up too around here.
He’s cooing, smiling, and talking so much to us. Those smiles absolutely melt your heart! He’s even learned to facetime and loves talking that way too!
He loves playing this game where Chad and I give him his paci, and he pops it out of his mouth and just smiles! I know- it’s a good thing that he is not the biggest paci fan. He’ll still take if he is really really tired though.
He loves his jungle gym on the floor. He’ll just stare at the stuffed animals and he’s got the movements down of moving his arms and knocking the little stuffed animals around. This is also the place where tummy time takes place. He is doing so well with this.
He LOVES his bath time! Absolutely hates getting out of the bath though.
His best naps are still in the car. He’s so resistant to taking naps around the house. Good news for today is that he did take a 30 minute nap in his crib! That is the first time that has happened. I set up the monitor and pretty much just stared at him sleeping.
Grayson turned into a little party animal- sort of… We have been celebrating a lot, the upcoming weddings of our friends Shawn and Mindy and Rick and Amy and celebrating Kristie and Joe’s new addition that will be here in about 4 weeks! Grayson attended the showers that were held for these events and pretty much slept the entire time, but he has been to his first parties!
G Doug has also been taking Birdie and Zoe for walks. I think the funniest walks are when Grayson is in his car seat which is hooked up to the stroller, Birdie is on her leash walking, and Zoe is laying down in the actual seat of the stroller. It must be quite the site in the neighborhood. I need to get a picture of this so you can see what I’m talking about- it’s so funny!
Grayson and I just got back from the doctor and he’s back on track with the weight gain- finally 10 lbs 13 ozs! I must say that this weight gain thing has been quite stressful for Chad and I.
This week marks the end of my maternity leave. Grayson is getting ready to go to day care starting on Monday. We found a great place for our little guy and hopefully he will have fun and get loved on as much as he does here at the house. I feel really comfortable where he is going to be going and they have the video cameras set up in the room so that I can watch. Wish me luck; I’m really nervous about this!
