Some Of Our Favorites

There's certainly no shortage of pictures of the little guy. I'm pretty sure the snapshot count is well above 1,000 now and continues to soar daily. Here are just a few of our favorites along the way...

6 weeks: A little smile

8 weeks: Happy boy

5 weeks: Ooooh, snuggle puppy of mine...

4 weeks: Burp turned nap

1 week: Little lump o' mush

6 weeks: Disgruntled

If you need a good laugh...

Hanging in our doctor's office is this giant adorable picture of a newborn laying on his belly in a vintage victorian-esque chair. I've always thought it was adorable and have since seen many versions of it just looking at examples of birth announcements, parenting magazines, etc. If you can't get a visual, I've posted two examples below of the basic idea. Although we missed the window for Grayson getting newborn portaits, I had the brilliant idea of trying our own version when he was about six weeks old. Clearly, we needed a professional. Grayson had his very own unique take on the situation and this was as close as we could get :) It makes us laugh every time.

Cute and cuddly. This is not Grayson.

Sweet and innocent. Still not Grayson.

Yep, that's our boy. We love you Grayson.

The Heims Visit!

If we've learned anything at all over the past two months, its that time is precious and the days FLY by. What did we ever use to do to fill our days?!? Apologies for not posting updates in a more timely manner. Perhaps now that we're a little more accustomed to the chaos, we'll be able to update on a more regular basis.

Erik's family visited from Colorado when Grayson was just two weeks old. We had so much fun together and got to enjoy some outside activities before the blistering heat arrived. Grandma Joan and Grandpa Steve had already met Grayson, but it was Aunt Alissa's first introduction. There is no doubt how much she loves her little nephew. Grandma Joan stayed for a few days extra and was soooooo helpful to me around the house. I don't think I could have made it without her. Here are a few pictures from the visit. We've since scheduled Grayson's first plane trip to Colorado in July...so we'll all get to hang out together again soon!

Aunt Alissa was VERY good at getting him to sleep.

Tummy Time

Tummy time is...well...not our favorite part of the day. There's lots of grunting, a fair amount of drool and inevitably a few pathetic cries at the end. But, the other day there was a glimmer of hope, as we MAY have seen a little smirk during this daily chore.

Off to a good start!

Is that a little smile?

Tummy time is so hard! Help!

And now I'm d.o.n.e.
