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!

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
