On Wednesday Graydon had his 6 month appointment. He was 27.5 weeks old.
He now weighs 17 lbs 1 oz. and is in the 40% for his weight.
He is 27 3/4 inches long and is in the 75% for height.
His head is 17 1/4 inches around and that is in the 50%.
He is also now rolling over and sitting up unassisted like a pro!

I have to introduce my new little nephew!
On Thursday, March 10th at 7:43 a.m. my SIL Emileigh gave birth to this little sweet pea.
He was all of 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 3/4 inches long.
He is so such a cutie and we cannot wait to see him again!
*He was about 1.5 days old in these pictures.*

6 Month Comparison
Quite the change, that is for sure.
In my opinion, he just keeps getting cuter and cuter! :)

6 Months Old!
*I wrote this last week, on Graydon's 6 month Birthday.*
I cannot believe that our sweet little man if half a year old already! Where has the time gone? He is doing so many new things, it just amazes us. Each day we are like hmm...he was not doing that yesterday?
He goes Mmmmm a lot, and sucks on his bottom lip.
He also started shrieking a couple weeks ago!! It is so cute. He is becoming quite vocal. His main thing that he says a lot is Da da da da da. I try to get him to say Ma ma, but not yet. :)
Graydon is so interactive. He smiles and giggles all the time, and if you are laughing he thinks it is funny and will laugh too! I also got him to belly laugh the other day. He will also giggle sometimes when we are changing him.
Speaking of changing him/dressing him, depending on his mood sometime it is way harder than others. He likes to arch his back, kick down his feet really hard (not good if you have a poopy diaper lying there), or try to roll over. Anything to escape putting clothes on! You have to be quick with the diaper too so he doesn't pee everywhere. He doesn't do it often but once in a while.....
He also likes to grab our arms when we are changing him and hold on to them, it is cute. I just asked Chris today if he did that to him too. I guess that he grabs his arm hair and pulls it, lol.
He likes to grab at my hair and pull it as well. Sometimes it seems like he is using them as reins! He will also grab for my necklaces or earrings if I am wearing them. Also peoples faces, he likes to touch them and pinch.
He is grabbing at everything now and can hold on to things really well. He is becoming quite curious! Along with feeling different textures and whatnot.
He can also pick up his pacifier by himself now if he sees it, and put it into his mouth.
Anything you hand to him goes straight into his mouth and he is drooling everywhere.
He is super ticklish on his legs by his thighs, loooves to be thrown up into the air. Also play airplane and peek-a-boo.
His hair is getting blonder and blonder. Chris was super blond when he was little so it does not surprise me.
Both of his feet touch the ground now in his jumpy. That kid is such a mover and a shaker! Still everyone's main comment regarding him is how strong he is.
He can sit up by himself, but will topple over. He is getting better at it though! For some reason he likes to fall forward. He has hit his face a couple times. We are working at it!
He still prefers to stand. We mostly just hold him by his armpits for balance. He likes to "dance" as we call it, and rock back and forth constantly. It is like he wants to just take off running! He will stand against things for quite some time and his balance is improving.
He has rolled over from his back to his stomach, but Heidi, our daycare provider, and us have yet to see it. He has been soooo close numerous times. It will happen soon I just know it!
He doesn't have any teeth coming through yet.
Still loves his bath time soo much and getting better at sitting in the tub. He loves to splash all around. We use Aveeno soap and lotion for him. It seems to work well and does not dry his skin out. It is moisturizing and has oatmeal in it.
He loves his swing for taking naps, but I am wanting to break that habit soon. We will see how naps go in his crib soon!
I believe that Graydon weighs around 16.5 lbs. according to our scale at home. He is growing out of 6 month clothes already. He is so tall! All of his pajamas that fit him are either 9 or 12 month sizes, it is crazy. Otherwise his little toes are just about to poke through anything else! 6 month pants fit him best, but are still a little big in the waste, unless he is wearing a cloth diaper.
We were bad about cloth diapering this past month and mostly used disposables, which is wears a size 3 in now.
His poops are getting stiiiinky by the way. I am sure because of eating solids.
He just recently started eating them more frequently. He has some in the morning and in the evening. He has now tried: sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, apples, and peaches. He always has a little bit with some rice cereal. He is a great eater, will open his mouth and pushes it down well with his tongue.
WOW. As I am sitting here typing I just heard him say Ma ma! Yay! :)
He also says ba ba ba a lot. So we call his bottle his "Ba Ba".
This past month Graydon was sick for a week around St. Patty's Day and got RSV. That was not fun at all. His temperature got up to over 103 degrees, and he was coughing like crazy. We could barely get him to eat. I know he lost some weight that week. When he would eat from the bottle he would maybe eat 1 ounce, and then he would cough and gag so hard that he would vomit it back up. He had to sleep by us in our room upright in his swing, and we had a vaporizer going. The day I took him to the doctor they gave him a breathing treatment right there at the office and then made us take him to get a chest x-ray. He also ended up having an ear infection in one ear and was put on amoxicillin. Thankfully it only lasted a week though! We felt so bad for him...he just seemed so helpless. He just was not himself!
Graydon is getting more cuddly, mostly when he is tired. Sometimes it feels like he is hugging you...I love it.
He is still happiest in the morning and a little grumpy butt in the evening. I just honestly think that he is so tired from playing all day. I guess that he loves to watch the other little boys run around and play when he is at daycare, and he loves his jumpy there too. By the time we get him home he is a tired boy, not to mention I think that he just gets bored with us! We are not as entertaining. :)
I think that is all for now. He is just changing so much every day, I am sure that I will have a lot more to write next month!

Five Months Old
This is a little late as well, but that is OK! This is mostly to recap things for us, so we do not forget. :)
Graydon is doing more and more every month and these are the changes up to month 5.
He has really eaten rice cereal for the first time. He is a great eater! (Do not mind this terrible picture of me!!)
Graydon attended his first birthday party for his cousin Camden. He loooved watching the fireplace. He also really likes to look at ceiling fans.
Hanging out with Grandma Jeanne, and wearing his first little Birthday hat! First of many I am sure.
I can't help but kiss those squishy little cheeks all the time!
He is enjoying sitting in his bumbo now once and a while, he still does not like it too much though, and would prefer to stand up.
We started feeding Graydon solids this month, almost right as he turned 5 months. So far he has tried sweet potatoes, squash and bananas. He loves them all!
After eating, it is bath time!
He is getting better about playing on his stomach! And we are still using cloth diapers mostly.
Naked baby is so cute!! :) I like to let him do that once in a while after bath time.
He LOVES his jumpy. Only one foot touches the ground though.
Graydon and his little girlfriend Sage! She was totally trying to hold his hand, and he was digging it. Haha!
They are also wearing matching onesies from our friend Jill.
He looooved Sages bouncy. That thing is so cute, I would looove to get one. It makes the Tigger sound, so when he would move around you would hear "boing boing boing".
He took a little ride in Sage's backpack that Chris was trying out.
Graydon is still wearing 3-6 month clothes but they are getting pretty small. If it is a 3 month size alone, it will not fit him. Only the pants in the waste, but not in the length. And definitely not onesies! 6 month sizes are fitting perfectly right now.
He does not fit into his little brown size 1 shoes anymore, so he is always wearing his Tevas now, which are awesome because they are adjustable. He will be able to wear them for a long time.
Peoples main comments to him lately are still about how strong he is.
He started blowing his lips this month and does it all the time now, especially if he is mad!
He is "talking" a little bit more.
Still wearing size 2 diapers if we use disposable.
Not sure how much he weighs this month, but he is getting heavy!
He typically eats about 5 oz. every 4 hours or so. Sometimes he still wakes up in the night, usually about 2 am. Then he wakes up for the day around 5-6 am. If we feed him solids, which is totally sporadic at this point, he has a little bit with some rice cereal around dinnertime. Then his last feeding right before bedtime.
One HUGE milestone with Graydon this month is that we transitioned him downstairs into his nursery and into his crib. We did it over a weekend because we didn't know how hard it would be, and he did sooo incredibly well. It was like he didn't even notice. We have a video monitor that we use since we are upstairs, so we can see what is going on and what he is doing.
He looooves the mobile in his crib. When we turn it on it is like he is in absolute awe. It is the Fisher Price Precious Planet mobile and I highly recommend it to anyone. He will watch that for a little while and then go to sleep!
He is still playing with his feet a lot!
He will roll from his stomach to back, but not back to stomach yet.
He also loves his MAM pacifiers. I found some teething ones and one had a giraffe on it, I just had to get it!
Still no teeth yet, but I think soon!
He also scratched him self a good one this month, on his left cheek. He has a scar from it. :(
Graydon likes to watch the television sometimes. Also the monitor on the computer if the screensaver comes on. He likes the moving colors!
He does not mind his car seat at all, and will fall right asleep in it.
Graydon will be 6 months tomorrow, and is doing so many more new things. I can't wait to write about it! :)

4 Month Pictures
You know what they say...better late than never right?!
Here are some pictures back from February, when Graydon turned 4 months old.
We had a blizzard here that day, so I stayed home from work. Here is Chris trying to shovel some snow out of the walkway!
Graydon in the Moby.
We decided to try pulling Graydon around in the sled. He wasn't too huge of a fan yet, plus it was really cold, but it was so cute!
There's a smile!
Graydon and one of his many giraffes.
I like to stand!
Hi Giraffe!
Standing again.
