Tummy Time and Rice Cereal

Normally Grayson despises tummy time, so when he was actually smiling I had to snap some pics!

Notice our Saint Bernard, Kaylee, in the background getting a whiff of Grayson’s tushy.  Yum!!!

This kinda looks like one of those old school photos where they had you look off into the distance.  Haha!

Such a little cutie!

Kaylee is always so concerned about Grayson.  Always coming over to check on him and give him a quick sniff to make sure everything’s ok.  They’re going to be best buddies as he grows up!

This past week Grayson had his first taste of rice cereal!!  My little boy is growing up too fast!  He was a little unsure of it at first, but soon he got the hang of how to eat from a spoon.  He’s only getting one small serving of organic brown rice cereal about an hour before bedtime for now, but as he gets older and his appetite grows, we’ll start adding some other foods little by little.

On Saturday we took a video of him eating cereal for the 3rd time.  He did much better than the first time, and was actually able to keep most of it in his mouth!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, We’ve Got a Roller!

Grayson has figured out how to roll over from his tummy to his back!  He did it for the first time last week when Steve’s parents were here, but unfortunately, Steve didn’t get to see it, and since I wasn’t expecting it at the time, I wasn’t able to get pictures or video of it.

Well, he did it again today, and I just happened to have my camera handy!!  I was taking pictures of him on his tummy to show how well he can hold his head up, when he just rolled over!  And of course I snapped away!

I’m so proud!!!

Then when I put him back on his tummy, his buddy Lazarus decided to join him!

Lazarus: “Hey man, what’s up?”

Grayson: “Not much, just doin’ some tummy time.”

Lazarus: “Sweet!  Mind if I join you?”

Grayson: “Not at all!  It’s nice to have some company.”

Lazarus: “Hey, you wouldn’t happen to have any leftover milk would you?  That stuff is delicious!”

Grayson: “No, and how would you know what it tastes like?”

Lazarus: “Ummm…..Hey, what’s that over there?”  *runs away*

(At least that’s how I think the conversation went)

Grayson also went for a walk in the big boy part of the stroller this week!  For 16 weeks old, he did great!  And he loved being able to look around at the scenery as we walked through the park.

3 Months Old!

I can’t believe how fast the time is going by!  My little boy is already almost 3 1/2 months old!  Of course, on his 3 month birthday we had to do a photo shoot with his stuffed puppy dog to show how much he’s grown.

Looking back on his 1 and 2 month old pictures, I can’t believe how big he’s getting!  He’s such a little person now!

He’s starting to “talk” a lot, and he’s getting better at lifting and supporting his head.  I took this video this morning during tummy time.

 

He is such a happy baby, and Steve and I are so blessed to have him in our lives!  I can’t wait until he can actually communicate with us with words!  Until then, I will just enjoy the fact that he always smiles when he catches me looking at him and when he hears my voice.  There truly is no better blessing than being a mommy.
