Grayson Mills Currie {10 Months Old}

Well, it was quite hard this month to capture your "monthly" photos because you are ALL OVER THE PLACE! You can't stand to be still and you are constantly on the go! Guess there's no slowing you down now!

Memories & Milestones: 9 Months Old-10 Months Old

-You made your way for the first time to the nursery at First Pres (12/31/17) because you can definitely not stay quiet during the service anymore!

-Officially a CRAWLER as of 1/7/18 (9.5mo) and finally used your knees!

-Will swipe anything off a counter that your pass by your hands

-first time riding in the grocery car while sitting up (1/9/18)

-You are pulling up on everything these days...your crib, the play car, anything that proves to be sturdy enough for you is fair game!

-started saying ba ba ba sounds (1/14/18)

-tried eggs and attempted the sippy cup at exactly 10mo (1/21/18)

-popped another tooth-stop growing up sweet thing!

-into EVERYTHING...we are realizing how many small pieces and little parts we have out from your sisters!

-favorite things to play with: broom, cords, cell phones, nightlights, outlets, basically anything you shouldn’t =)

-it snowed AGAIN in Auburn which made for your 2nd snow! You weren't too sure what to think of it!

-Again, no shortage of love being given to you! Smothered and mothered by all three of your big sisters! They read to you, play with you, grab your paci for you, include you in their creative play, and overall couldn't love you more! You are their real live baby!

This last photo below captures the love they have for you...they all scooted their chairs around your high chair so they could be near you while you ate your dinner!

To the sweetest caboose,

Grayson, you are an ABSOLUTE joy! Having you here and part of our family for Christmas this year brings an extra element of delight and joy to our family! You make us all laugh, your smile is contagious, and your pleasant demeanor is a gift to us all! =) I seriously cannot fathom what life was like before you arrived…you were always planned and prayed for and we count it a privilege to have you for our son-to be entrusted with the task of raising you to be a God fearing man one day! Grayson, we couldn’t ask for more (well maybe for you to sleep all night again =) ) but truly you are the best baby in the world. We just got back from Disney World where we stretched you all day every day with no naps and feedings in public restrooms and you handled it all like a champ. You never made a peep and smiled all day long! You are seriously THE MOST content baby I’ve ever met. We can take you anywhere and you just smile at everyone! What fun you are to have along with us! You just roll with the flow and adapt to whatever you need to!  Thank you for making our laps just a smidge cozier but our hearts even fuller. You are so precious to us! We adore you, treasure you, and thank God for you! We pray God grants us wisdom each day to love you well, point you to Christ, and model His ultimate grace and mercy for you each day. We know we will fail you, but your Savior never will. What a gift this Christmas season to remember HOPE came as a baby! We love you sweet Grayson!

Love, Mommy & Daddy

Memories & Milestones: 8 Months Old-9 Months Old

-Daddy let you have your first taste of ice cream while we were in Atlanta with just you! (12/1/17)

-FIRST TRIP TO DISNEY! You made your first trip at 8.5mo and were absolutely amazing the whole time! You slept like a champ and just went with the flow, even keeping rather late hours at the park! You were adorable when you met Minnie! (12/10/17)

-You are thoroughly enjoying your baby food and will gobble it all right up! Not objecting to too much just yet!

Sweet boy!

I know I say it every month, but the truth remains: the time is FLYING by! I could squeeze you every minute of every day and it still wouldn’t be enough. You are simply the best =) By far the most laid back and content baby! Grayson, you make our days brighter and that smile you give is contagious to our whole house. We are so thankful to God for giving us you-you are more than we could have dreamed of and more than we deserve. We know it’s a loud house full of lots of emotions, but you handle it all in stride. Praying it stays that way! I think it’s safe to say you are satisfied being the caboose, toted around, & doted and loved on! You welcome any attention with the sweetest smile and perk up when someone plays with you! Your sisters can’t stand for you to shed any tears and do their best to sing to you, fetch your paci as quick as they can, or offer you a new toy to play with. I just cannot believe that that 8-pound baby is 8 months old today. The days can surely feel long, but the years are short! I know that full well. So I come to your aid in the middle of the night and pat your back or rock you as long as you need because it won’t last forever. In fact, it will be gone way too soon. You are such a joy, a true delight Grayson Bug and we love you so very much!! We are loving all our days with you!

Memories & Milestones: 7 Months Old-8 Months Old 

- you thoroughly enjoyed your first cup of Stonyfield vanilla yogurt! (10/27/17)

-sat up for a long time without tipping over on 10/27/17 (just past 7mo) but still can't be left alone safely

-Everything, I mean EVERYTHING goes into your mouth that you get your hands on

-love to shake toys from side to side as hard as you possibly can to see what they'll do    

-the tags on things keep you quite occupied for a while and they end up soaked when you are finished! =)

-you end up sleeping on your tummy most nights

-still won't take a bottle =(

-still a great nurser but unfortunately you are still waking up at night to eat at least once

-wake up having soaked through your diaper almost every morning

-daddy snipped a few longer strands of your hair over thanksgiving

-sitting up pretty well unassisted at 7.5months!!

-Things you love to do lately: pull out toys from a container, bang two objects together to make loud noises, scoot around on your tummy, reach for ANYTHING within a mile radius of you, babble up a storm and test out new sounds with your voice, grab your paci if it’s within your reach and put it back in your mouth, put EVERYTHING in your mouth, grab any tag, string, cord, etc. and reach down for things and come back up to the sitting position
