Grayson has the Best Laugh

While I was on a walk with Grayson I spilled some of his formula on the stroller so I was using my finger to scrape it off and he thought it was the funniest thing.  We walked over to Starbucks to show Julia because she was studying for her finals and he did it again.  I could listen to that laugh all day.  He has the best laugh!  Love him so much.

Grayson ~ Downward Dog Yoga Pose

Grayson just started doing the downward dog yoga pose.  I'm not sure where he learned this, but he loves doing it.

Grayson giving sloppy raspberries

I was trying to make Grayson laugh by doing sloppy raspberries while he was eating dinner one night and the next day he started doing it.  Oops!  For a while now he has been making sounds with his mouth that Julia and Daddy taught him, but he added the sloppy part first and then started sticking his tongue out.  Oh no!  I only did it a couple of times and can't believe he picked up on it and started doing it.  I guess he is soaking up everything and I have to remember this from now on.  What a cute, silly boy he is!  I love him so much!

Happy Mother's Day to the Best Mom

Happy Mother's Day to the best mom in the world!  I must admit I had no idea how much I would appreciate my mom until I had my own child.  She has been there every step of the way throughout this journey to mommyhood.  I'm not sure what I would do without her.  She is the sweetest person I know and has the biggest heart.  Grayson adores his Oma and it's so nice they have such a special bond and will be so close.  Thanks, Mom, for being such a wonderful, sweet, caring woman.  I love you so much!  And Grayson loves his Oma!

Grayson Sitting up in Crib

Oh no!  This is how I found Grayson after his morning nap.  He was sitting up in his crib.  I'm glad we lowered his crib last week, but now I guess we need to move it to the lowest setting.  He is getting so big I can't believe it.  Love my little boy so much!

Mother's Day ~ Mommy & Grayson

My first Mother's Day.  What an amazing thing to say.  I have waited such a long time for this day and feel so blessed to be Grayson's momma.  From the moment I found out I was pregnant I knew this baby was going to be special.  What I didn't know was how much I was going to love this baby and what a perfect son he was going to be.  He is such a happy baby with the best personality.  There really are no words to express how much I love him.  All I can say is I feel like the luckiest person ever and can't wait to watch him grow.

A mother and son bond was something I had always heard how about, but never understood it until I had Grayson.  The way he looks at me melts my heart.  His smile and eyes say it all when I come into the room.  He definitely loves his momma.

We went to David Burke's Primehouse for Mother's Day brunch.  The menu included scones, petite pastries, tart flambé, french toast, fruit salad, fried chicken thigh with with spiced mandarin (Craig), filet mignon, mashed potatoes, asparagus and for dessert mixed berry crisp and chocolate raspberry truffle cake.  The food was delicious!  My mom and I also had mimosas.

Grayson's Mother's Day card was the sweetest card and it made me cry all three times I read it.  He also got me a David Yurman bracelet that is absolutely beautiful!  Daddy did a great job helping him pick it out.  I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband, son and mother.  My mom has been such a tremendous help with Grayson.  She stayed with me the first ten weeks after Grayson was born and has helped me so much since then.  Grayson also adores his Oma.  She makes him laugh so hard it makes me so happy to see the special bond he shares with her.

Grayson - Baby Swing, Grass & Photo Shoot with Daddy

My mom and I took Grayson to the park to go on the baby swing and he loved it.  He kept checking out the girls in the park so I had a hard time getting pictures at first.  He is so curious about everything as you can see in the first picture.  He likes to check everything out.  It was such a beautiful day so later Daddy and Grayson played in the grass outside our place.  It was Grayson's first time in the grass and he kept lifting up his left foot.  We were laughing so hard and couldn't figure out why he was doing that.  Craig even moved him on the concrete and he put both feet down, but as soon as he moved him back to the grass he lifted up his left foot.  I took a quick photo shoot of Daddy and Grayson and got some cute pictures.
