1 Month

Well, it's official Mommy is not a good blogger anymore:) No excuse, but there is no time! I promise I am going to get better especially since this is Grayson's "baby book", but bear with me for now. Better late than never, Grayson turned 1 month old on September 25th! I woke up that morning and we had a fun photo shoot in his 1 month onesie. Long story short my flash broke on my old camera and I was using my Mom's... I did not know when her battery is dying it doesn't save the pictures. Yup, so Grayson of course was perfect that morning smiling & cooing in all the pictures and when I went to upload them they were not there... I'm still not over it yet, ha but I am sure I will have many more smiles to come. This first pic. is from when he was all smiles that I got on my phone...I got more later that day but he was over it, haha! But I am excited to say, since then I have gotten my amazing birthday present... a CANON REBEL!!!! =) So this little problem should not happen again. I thought I was picture crazy before... well now I really am! I am obsessed with my new camera! Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks! I promise to update again soon... but I hear a baby crying for some M-I-L-K!!! Peace out:)~


*1 Month*

Weight: 8lbs 7oz

Height: Not sure, but he's definitely a'growin!

Clothes Size: Still some newborn & finally fitting into some 0-3 months

What Grayson Likes: He is all smiles in the morning & in the middle of the night. He loves "sliding" down the boppy and doing the buttercup song {we made up} with Mommy & Daddy! He also loves walks & going to the park with the fam!

What Grayson Dislikes: The BOOGER sucker! Haha! Doesn't help I'm OCD about it:) He also does not like when you make loud noises while he is sleeping. He throws his hands up and gives you a major P.O.'d look - haha!

Best Moment this Month: I don't think I can pick just one, but I must say the moments where he smiles at Chris & I are the best. At about 5 weeks he started smiling where we knew he was smiling at us. We both so excitedly call each other into the room, so proud:) There is nothing like it! He also has giggled a few times... gosh I can't wait till I hear a big ole belly laugh!!

This month I: continue to be such a joy to be around. I have my fussy time during the late afternoon/early evening. I have been battling some gas, but Mommy has changed her diet and we have tried all the remedies to see if we can get to the bottom of it. It has been much better and I think these first time parents are realizing it's more or less just me being a typical baby :) I am taking 3-4 oz. every feeding, every 3-3 1/2 hours. I have just started going 4-5 hours (@ wk 5) during the night before my next feeding {Mommy is loving that!}. I am a pro at the eat, wake, sleep cycle... Mom barely had to make any adjustments to my schedule. I went to my first football party on Saturday and looking forward to all the ones to come! Tim Tebow might be my fav:) XOXO, Grayson


Park time!~Hi everybody!@ the park for my birthday! My new camera pics!"I guess he's here for good..." haha! Our baby girl is still very loved:)Playing with my new camera...love him!I love my Aunt Steph!

THE BIG DAY! {in pictures...}

When they said a baby changes everything they didn't mention your plants die, it takes 7 hours to clean your house & you get numerous cricks in your neck from holding a bottle with your chin. Haha! But boy have I learned to multi-task. It's amazing how much time you think you will have and before you know it the day is over! My Mom thinks I should change my voicemail to 'Hey this is Kelley... I am pumping so leave a message...' Haha! I feel like my middle name is feed or pump... but hey whatever it takes to get this baby boy the good stuff. He sure keeps me busy, but I'm loving every minute! {FYI, I am doing a little nursing along with pumping... he was not getting enough the first few days and from then on it scared me not knowing how much he was getting... so we make sure he is full to the top before we complete the feeding... it has made him much happier and Mommy & Daddy as well:) } I cannot believe he is 4 weeks old today, that just doesn't seem right! I would be okay if he just stayed this little forever... I can't get enough of those sweet cheek kisses... or that feeling when we wake up in the morning, he is all swaddled and he just blinks and blinks like he's not quite ready for the day. Ugh, eat him up! They hit the nail on the head when they said it's a love like you've never felt before!! Okay, okay I'll quit:) But just know there is more to come;) I found some pictures I forgot to post from the big arrival day... I guess they should have gone under "The Big Day" post but this will have to do. Life's a little backwards these days anyways!
So here you go... the BIG DAY in pictures {please excuse the looks of Mommy, it was a looong night & day!}

One last picture as the only child!About to leave for the hospital! Looking at this makes me realize how he did fit in there, wow!!Arriving at the hospital, before it all began...
"Today's plan" was accomplished:)
This was 2 seconds after she unexpectedly said "You are about to have this baby!" I don't think Chris meant to take this picture, but I love the moment. He stayed like this the whole time... I loved knowing he was right there going through every minute with me.
HE'S HERE!! I'll spare you from all the bloody pics...
Sweet angel;)
Little bit!
He still makes this cute face, love it!
My doctor & our new little fam!
Nothing like that feeling right there...
One proud Daddy, that's for sure!
I love this picture... Chris looks like a little kid, so intrigued!
My Nonna!
Everybody's eyes on the little guy!
Meeting my Pop!
He has stole my heart:)
Aunt Stephanie came to see me! And Uncle John! 1st diaper change
The Harrison's came to visit too!
Going home day...
Ready to see the world!!HOME SWEET HOME:)
Copper meeting her new brother!
I will cherish these moments forever! I cannot believe on Sunday he will be a month old. Time is already flying!!
