My sweet Grayson turned 10 months old on April 12, 2014, and I took some pictures of him in the back yard last weekend. We are so happy to have spring weather, blooming Japanese maple trees, and green grass!
Grayson has hit several milestones this month, including crawling and pulling up! I thought he might skip crawling all together because he was not very interested in it for a while. He enjoyed sitting on the floor, but if I tried to put him on his tummy he was not happy. Well, one day he decided he would get on his hands and knees to rock (about 9 1/2 months), and the next day he could crawl across the den. About a week or so later, he started pulling up on some of the furniture. We moved into our current house in September 2012 when Logan was over 2, and we are now realizing what areas in the house need to be more baby proof.
Now that Grayson is crawling, I have to really watch to make sure small toys or other small items are not left out throughout the house. Grayson put absolutely everything in his mouth! I don't remember Logan being as bad as Grayson, but he will see a piece of fuzz, lego, thread or anything across the room and take off toward it to put it in his mouth. Logan has been very helpful and will let me know if Grayson is about to put something in his mouth if I don't see him first! He even takes it away and brings it to me. He is a very sweet, helpful big brother!

Grayson is also saying a lot of sounds and is saying "Bye-Bye" and waving. It is so precious! Sometimes I will notice him looking at both hands and waving them at himself saying "Bye-Bye." He also nods his head when you ask him a question and says "Yeah, Yeah." Now that Grayson is crawling, he and Logan are sort of playing together sometimes. Grayson thinks most everything Logan does is funny, even if Logan is taking away the toy he just found! Grayson loves playing with balls, and he will crawl across the entire house if he knows there is a ball to grab and throw at the end of the journey.
Grayson continues to eat any table food we give him, and he has decided he no longer likes baby food. In clothes Grayson is wearing mostly size 24 months, but he can still fit into some 18 month items. I have moved him up to size 5 diapers, and he is wearing a size 5 wide in shoes. Grayson went from having 2 teeth to 6 teeth in less than a week, so that made for some long days and nights, But, he is still pretty happy most of the time. He was such an easy baby, and he is still fairly easy but is becoming more opinionated. If we are anywhere outside of our house, he wants me to hold him. He does not settle for anyone else! I don't complain though- I love to hold that sweet boy.
We love our sweet Grayson very much, and we are so proud he is ours!
