Fun Times

The last few weeks have been wonderful as a family of 3. Grayson is such a great little kid; we'll keep him around awhile. :) He's sleeping wonderfully, eating wonderfully, and is generally really happy!

Fun moments:
-Naked butt time today- Grayson's had a red butt the last few days, so while Dad was at church tonight, I took Grayson's diaper off and had him "air out" while. He was so happy! He loved it. He was moving all around and seemed so happy! I took a few rattles and played with him too. I think he was laughing. Okay, not really, but he looked like he wanted to laugh! Then he peed on me. I should have known it would happen.
-Bath time- Grayson LOVES his bath. He has such a content look on his face while he has a bath. This picture is from the first night home. Loves having his hair washed. Good thing, because with all his hair and how much he sweats, it gets greasy!

-Feeding Grayson his bottle- That is from Jared. :) The last 3 nights, Jared has fed Grayson a bottle. I know Jared loves helping out and feeling that bond that I get to have with Grayson all the time. He's taking the bottle pretty well too!

-First trip to Grandpa and Grandmas- We took our first trek to Pella last week, and Grayson did great! Slept the whole way there and back. We'll take more trips soon.

-Car rides- Grayson loves car rides. He'll be crying up until we start moving and then he quiets down. He also likes music in the car..or anywhere. :)

-First time alone with Mom- Jared had 2 whole weeks off to spend with us after Grayson was born. That time was awesome. He did have to be gone one day the 2nd week to take his drumline to the Iowa State Fair parade. So, I was home allll day with Grayson- alone. We had a good time, but it was a long day. I'm very thankful for all the help Jared does around the house. He's back to work now every day, but Grayson loves it when Daddy comes home. So do I.

-First time alone with Dad- ACA had their open house night a couple nights ago and I felt it was pretty important to be there, so Grayson spent his first evening away from Mommy. Jared said it wasn't nearly the adventure he thought it would be and that he and Grayson got along just fine. I'm sure they had fun. Mommy missed her baby a lot. And, since I was gone around 3 1/2 hours, Jared fed Grayson his first bottle. The first one went pretty slow, but he's catching on now.
