Grayson is 7 months old! He is the light of our lives and it just keeps getting better and better. He is at such a fun age and we are having the best time with him. Here are some highlights from 7 months. He went on his first plane ride to visit my in-laws and he did great on the flight (click here for post). The day before our flight he got croup so I took him to the doctor and they gave him an oral shot. It was amazing how fast it worked and we took him back the next morning before our flight and he was almost 100% better. He still had a normal cold, but the barking seal sound was gone. They gave us the okay to fly with him and gave me a prescription in case it came back. He got his first two teeth March 24th (click here for post). He has been sleeping on his stomach, which is so shocking because he used to cry when he got on his belly. He is rolling all over the place and really wants to crawl, but can't get past the superman position. He is really pushing up on his arms so we think he will be crawling sometime soon. He started sucking his toes, drinking out of a sippy cup and made some new friends (Beckett and Harper came to visit). He is also quite the little piano player (click here for post), which is one of Daddy's favorite things to do with him. He actually hits the keys with one finger instead of pounding on them which is what you would expect of a 7 month old baby. Grayson found his reflection in the mirror and thought he was pretty hot stuff. It was so cute watching him check himself out. He said his first sound...Ca, Ca, Ca and I have no idea where this came from, but it's the cutest thing. Grayson's nanny taught him how to give high 5's/cinco's because she only speaks Spanish to him. In the videos you can see him saying Ca, Ca, Ca and giving high 5's. He ate puffs for the first time and wasn't too sure about them. He liked it at first, but then made gagging sounds and spit up the food he just ate. After that I decided we will wait a little longer as I don't think he was quite ready.

Grayson weighed 20 1/2 pounds at his croup doctor appointment, which was 4 days before he turned 7 months. He is the size of some 1 year olds I have been told so I can't wait to see what he weighs at his 1st birthday. I'm guessing it could slow down especially that he is starting to move around a lot more. He wears size 9 month and some 12 month clothes. He is starting to grow out of his 9 month pajamas so I will have to buy some new ones including some summer ones. He is still wearing size 2 shoes, but I had to return some sandals because his feet were too chubby. They are the cutest chubby feet I have ever seen though. He loves when I smell his feet and tell him they are stinky. Actually sometimes they really are stinky so he might have gotten the Beurskens' stinky feet. Oh no!
We have one special little boy and everyone agrees that it took so long because we were waiting for our perfect baby. He is such a happy boy and he definitely loves his momma, which I will blog about in an upcoming post. He also loves his daddy, Oma, Grandpa and Grandma Braham, brother and sister, nanny, walks outside, peek a boo, bath time, Bella (although the feeling is not mutual), chewing on everything in sight and pretty ladies. He is still such a flirt and even does the eyebrows sometimes. He has started crying a little with certain people. Craig's friend Rick held him and he screamed and did the same with Julia's best friend Marcello and Craig's Uncle Ron. It's not with all men though because some he loves so I'm not sure what makes him upset.
He eats two meals a day and has 5 bottles. I started buying the Happy Baby organic fruit and veggie 2 packets. He still makes a funny face every time I feed him baby food, but then likes it after the second bite. His favorites are spinach, pear and mango, raspberries, beets and purple carrots, and sweet potatoes and mango. For breakfast/lunch he normally eats 1-2 packets and I mix in rice cereal with two packets of baby food for dinner. He has bottles around 6:30am, 9am, 12pm, 3:30pm and the last one around 6:45pm. He drinks about 6 ounces for each bottle except the last one is about 7 ounces.
He is doing better with his naps and is sleeping 45 minutes to 2 hours and still doing 3 a day, but we hope to reduce it to 2 very soon. He takes naps around 9am, 12pm and 3pm and we start bath around 6:30. He loves bath time and we started adding more toys so he is having a blast with the squirt toys and loves to chew on them.
April is a very busy month for us. We visited Grandpa and Grandma Braham April 2-6, going to Florida to visit my family April 10-14 with Grayson and my mom, Beurskens family reunion at my house April 17-21 and Grayson's baptism April 26th.
We love you Grayson so much! You are the best little boy. You make everyone smile with your cute personality. Everyone says you will be quite the heart breaker. We love watching you grow each month and can't wait for all the new milestones.
