To our sweet little “buddy”
We couldn’t be more thankful for you sweet boy! You are so so loved in this home by your family J You are settling in to being the best baby! You are eating and sleeping well and some of the fussiness has appeared to wear off. It still pops up every now and then but you seem to be in much less pain and we are so thankful lfor that! You just go with the flow and I suppose being the 4th baby in the family you don’t have much choice in that. Hopefully with the girls getting out of school this week we won’t have to plop you in your car seat nearly as much and you can actually learn how to take naps other places besides a car seat and a baby carrier. Speaking of baby carrier, it is the baby whisperer for us right now. Your most content place is asleep on mommy’s chest in the carrier. I don’t know we would make it without it, especially at dinner and bedtime with four kiddos! Thankful it calms you down and you fall fast asleep most of the time! You are such a sweet baby and your smiles and coos are simply the best! You are happiest when you wake up in the morning and especially after your first morning feeding. You are so smiley and happy and gurgling with delight! It is so much fun to watch you grow and change each day! Sure do wish we could slow time down because we know in the blink of an eye you won’t be a baby anymore. Mommy especially is soaking up this newborn season and cherishing you to the fullest! Babies don’t’ keep so we are savoring and treasuring each day with you! We love you so much and can’t wait to pour into your heart the love and grace and mercy that Jesus offers so richly and so undeservedly to us! It would bring us no greater joy than to see you walk with Jesus all the days of your life! Praying that for your life sweet Grayson! Happy 2 months buddy! You have survived our crazy family for two months and that is something to celebrate, ha! We love you so deeply and always will!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
