What's New
I can't believe Grayson is ONE! Where did the last year go? It truly was the best year watching our sweet little baby grow into a little boy. He is constantly doing new things and bringing so much joy to our lives. He is now walking all of the time, saying mama, dada, cheese, baba (bottle), wawa (water), Hiiiii and night night. He is pointing at things when he wants something, babbling and making funny sounds (he imitates any sound we make or at least tries to), singing/humming in the car, clapping his hands, waving, blowing kisses (with his finger) and sticking out his tongue when we ask where it is. He follows some commands such as pick out a book, sit on my lap and come here and he loves climbing up the stairs. He recently figured out how to open the baby gates even though they are not easy to open for a child. Oh boy, we are in trouble. Finally, he has a new tooth and another one coming in soon.
Personality and Looks
Grayson has the cutest personality and makes us smile and laugh every day. He loves to babble and make sounds and it won't be long until we can understand what he is actually saying. He is also a little mischievous and gives you a look when he knows he is doing something he is not supposed to do. He is such a sweet boy. He gets concerned if he thinks you are hurt. His looks have not changed much and definitely still looks like Daddy. His hair is still light brown, but I'm guessing this will darken as he gets older because the same thing happened to Craig. Finally, he has another tooth which makes the total count 5. The newest one was the top tooth to the right of the middle teeth. He has another one coming in soon on the top left of the middle teeth. Surprisingly, the last tooth did not bother him when it came in.
1 Year Doctor Visit
We went to the doctor for his one year check up and he weighed 22 pounds 14 ounces (75th percentile), 30 1/4 inches (75th percentile) and his head circumference is 19 inches (95th percentile). We decided to wait and do the shots another time since he has his birthday party today.

His favorites
He loves his Daddy. He is obsessed with him and cries when he leaves the room. They have such a special bond and it's so sweet to watch. He loves his toys especially his pot and pan set complete with lids and spoons, music toys that Phil and Kat gave him, talking Elmo, but sadly it's so old that it doesn't work very well and they don't sell it anymore. He also loves his books, push toys, push popper and his new toys from his birthday. He loves going to the park and climbing up the stairs and slide, running around the equipment and swinging.
Routine
Grayson has a great routine and we are very lucky he's such a good baby. He wakes up between 6:30am - 7am, takes a nap around 9:30 and 1:30, and goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm. He is now on Horizon Organic 2% reduced fat milk and has 6 ounces when he first wakes up and before each nap and 7 ounces before bed. Once he was 11 months old we started doing 25% milk and 75% formula for one week then moved up to 50%, 75% and then 100%. He adjusted very well to milk. At his latest doctor visit I was told told to give him the milk in his sippy cup to help wean him off of his bottle. I'm not sure if he loves the bottle or the milk, but I'm not looking forward to weaning him. He squeals and starts laughing and gets so excited when it's time for his baba so this might be hard to do.
We love you so much, Grayson Christian! It's hard to believe you are already a year old. The last year flew by and I'm so happy we documented everything so we can share these memories with you. You are one special boy...my miracle baby! We waited 6 long years for you, but it was worth every second and the only way to get our perfect baby.
