It's hard to believe, but it's been ten months since that blessed day when Grayson Elliott was born! He's growing and learning so much! Currently, he has four teeth, with two more starting to poke through, he is crawling at great speeds and eager to walk, "talking" a lot -- "da da..., ma ma...," and last night, it sounded like he was saying "hot" perfectly, which happens to be what was Gordon's first word. He has a growing love of books, like his brother, and is very fond of playing peek-a-boo with his green blankie and "Soooo... big!" As of late, he is more and more inspired to use a sippy cup, though we're still working on the gravity thing, as he doesn't quite grasp the concept that the cup has to be tipped to a certain angle before anything can flow into his mouth. He loves trying new finger foods--he thoroughly enjoyed little pieces of grilled chicken last Sunday. He is a beautiful little boy, with such sweet expressions, intense interest in his surroundings, and patience--though when he runs out of it, you know it! His strength really shows when he's upset, as he arches his back and throws himself back in frustration. Bless his little heart, he has had to learn to wait for time and attention, as he has to share so much with Gordon.
We are enjoying him so much, though I feel guilty that I can't be as focused on him as I was with Gordon at this age. Just part of being busy with two little boys, I guess! One of my favorite Graysonisms, is when I go to get him from his crib, either in the morning or after a nap, he'll greet me standing, with a big smile on his face and tight little mini-hugs of affection when I pick him up. He melts my heart, I love him so much! Only two months and he'll be one year old--time is flying by all too quickly..... I'm grateful for each and every moment.
