10 months old! (And a recap of month 9)

I forgot to post last month’s 9 month photo, so today you get to see my little Grayson at both 9 and 10 months!  I can’t believe in less than 2 months he will be a year old!!!  I’m not ready for it!  Where did my little newborn baby go??

This was his 9 month picture.  He is already looking like a toddler!  I think all that hair is making him look older.  If he was bald he’d still look like a baby…..maybe.

This month had lots of exciting things happen!  Grayson finally learned to crawl on March 14th!  Here’s a video of him about a week after he crawled for the first time. It’s amazing how much he improved in such a short amount of time!

Grayson also got his first tooth on Valentine’s Day!  Now, at 10 months, he has 3 teeth.  Two on the bottom and one on the top that is just barely peeking through.  He also FINALLY started sleeping through the night!!!!

He loves walking around holding onto our hands, and he stomps or marches whenever he walks.  It’s the cutest thing!  Grayson also started swimming lessons this month, and so far he hates it!  He cries pretty much during the entire class, but we’re hoping that he’ll learn to love the water soon!  They had him go underwater on his first day, so I think he’s a little traumatized from that.  But his second lesson seemed a bit better than the first one.  Even though he was crying, he would still jump into the water (from a sitting position) when I counted to three.  Daddy had a nice little present after last week’s lesson when Grayson threw up all over him a few minutes after he got out of the water.  He must have swallowed a bit too much pool water!  Eek!

The weather is starting to get a little warmer (although it did snow this week), so we have ventured to the park a couple times.  The first time I put him on the swing (the baby one) he hated it because he kept falling forward whenever I would push him.  So the second time we went, I wadded up one of his blankets and put it in his lap so he wouldn’t fall forward, and he loved it!

Here is Grayson’s 10 month photo.  That little doggy keeps getting smaller and smaller!  I’m in denial that it’s actually my son that is getting bigger while the dog stays the same size.  *sniff*

Last, but certainly not least, my parents came to visit from CA this past week, and Grayson had so much fun playing with his Nana and Papa!  It was so wonderful that he learned to crawl while they were there.  That just made it even more special!
