We've Got a Big Boy on Our Hands

So before I get too far into it-I apologize that I don't have any pictures for this post. Dad bought us a new camera a few weeks ago-and I still have yet to download the software, etc. But I'll get around to it soon!

Anyways-so Baby Gray is turning into such a big boy! Let's see...he's able to crawl now-well kind of crawl. He kind of goes like a frog-puts his butt in the air and then jumps a little. But he can get going no matter how he does it! The pillows across the fireplace don't even stop him-so we have to have our eyes on him at all times. He still isn't too sure yet about the wood floors-so at least that keeps him in the family room-but he is becoming braver.

He's just mastered the art of sitting up by himself. He actually sits like a tri-pod. One arm on the side-and then one hand between his legs-it's pretty stinking cute.

He apparently is also starting to try and pull himself up. I haven't seen this-but Missy told me this the other day when I picked him up after daycare. He's totally digging his big boy food-the green veggies, orange veggies-and his favorite is squash. Grammy fed him his first taste of meat yesterday. Now if you've never seen this stuff-or smelled it-all I can say is Yuck. It looks like cat food. He's not too sure yet about the turkey-but he'll eat it when I mix it with the veggies. Our next step is onto the fruits-now those look really tasty.

I took him to the doctor today because I was afraid that he had another ear infection-but luckily the Dr. said that it was just a summertime cold and that it will leave in 7-10 days. Hopefully it leaves quickly because around 12:45 every night he wakes up screaming and crying because he can't breath-so then he basically sleeps sitting up in Rob's arms for a few hours until Rob wakes up again and puts him back in his Pack N Play. Yes-I have an almost 6 month old-and he's still sleeping next to the bed. Starting this week I was going to start putting him across the room in a little nook where it fits perfectly-but since he's sick-I didn't want to do it yet--maybe next week???

This weekend we are heading to Mulvane for Old Settlers again. I posted about it last August-and had pictures-so I'm sure this time I'll be posting almost the same pictures-but this time Grayson will be out of my belly! Mimi is flying in from Colorado to Wichita-and we are all staying with Aunt Carole. So yummy tasty Old Settlers food, cheesy crafts and fun people watching here I come! Have an excellent week-and look for pictures sometime in the next week or so!
