Grayden~ I can't believe you are half a year old already, what a big boy you are!
Mommy and Daddy love you so much, you have brought SO much joy to our lives! We are so thankful to your birth parents and to God for choosing us to be your parents, we hope and pray that we are doing a good job! These past 6 months have been the best times of our lives!
Here's what you have been up to this month:
You eat 4 6-oz bottles and 8 oz before bed. You also have oatmeal in the morning and rice cereal at night. And you've been trying some veggies and fruits like green beans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, and applesauce. So far you seem to love peas and bananas the most!
You're sleeping habits continue to seek improvement! You wake up a lot and we are not sure why
but last night you slept 9 hours straight and then woke up for a bottle and slept another 3 hours so maybe you are starting to get back on track like you were 2 months ago, fingers crossed :)
You weigh 18 lbs 6 oz and 27" long....you've moved up into the 75th %ile!
You wear mostly 3-6 months clothes
You are in size 2-3 diapers.
You are developing so much physically, you are putting yourself into the seated position, pulling yourself up to stand, and just recently mastered the army crawl/forward scootch! You can slowly get anywhere you want.
You had your first sleepover by grandma and grandpa r's house so mommy and daddy could get a full nights sleep!
You had your first cold, you were pretty sick for about 5 days and had a fever, cough and runny nose. Not fun!
You went to grandma and grandpa l's cottage up north for the first time and we had so much fun there!
You had lots of pictures taken this past month, Grandpa R's side of the family all got together for a family picture and we had our picture taken with Mommy's side and had our immediate family pictures taken! Good thing you are so photogenic!
You started sitting in the high chairs are restaurants instead of staying in your car seat! This makes you seem like such a big boy to me!
This i
s what you did the whole time during dinner Tuesday night at Logan's.....you'd arch your back so that you could watch everybody as they walked by you!
You dressed up for your first Halloween!
You love to give kisses.
You love books and love to be read to!
You love to just sit and play for hours!
You went to your first concert tonight, Selah and Avalon
We can't wait to see what you'll be up to next!! Love you tootie ;)
( I promise I'll stop calling you that by the time you are in Kindergarten!)~Mommy and Daddy
After that we were off to Qdoba for dinner and came back home to give Grayden a bath and then Robb and I settled in front of the computer to catch up on 'FlashForward'!
I could handle a few more weekends as nice as this one for a couple more weeks until the snow falls!
