March Madness!

Phew! This month has been crazy busy for us! Mommy turned the big 3-0! Daddy had a lot of great surprises planned including Grammie! We finally were able to make it up to Atlanta to see all of Daddy's camp friends. We had a great time and Grayson was fabulous with all of the new faces and two 6+hour car trips. We had our first playgroup playdate. We had a St. Patrick's Day photo shoot.

He is doing so many new things!

He has finally figured out how to get in a sitting position from crawling. Now all he does is crawl 2 crawls and sit. He gets a big "yea!" every time.

He is a super speed crawler now. He is so fast he even gets tripped up because his arms can't move as fast as his feet do.

We have been doing the stretching exercises that the orthopedist told us to do with his feet and they have already made a world of difference. He is pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING but now he is able to stand there and play without toppling over.

He can now even get himself into a sitting position from a standing position. He has figured out that he can just plop down on his tush. He does this action repeatedly as well.

Since he likes the fish tanks at pet stores we figured we would give the Atlanta Aquarium a whirl. Oh man- he went bonkers! He LOVED it! Each different room we went into he was making his "Heh" noise and dancing around. He would follow the fish and look with big, open eyes. While we were in the room where it was a floor to ceiling fish tank I made the discovery of some more white teeth poking out in the back. When we got back in the car I felt in his mouth and it seems that both of the molars on the top had started to pop through. Our tooth count is up to 10 now! He is getting much more vocal and has been making squealing sounds. He is too funny.

We have started doing weekly playgroups with our MyGym friends. We rotate houses and the person that hosts provides lunch for the moms. Here is our first play group at Sophie's house.

Pictured below are 4 of the 6 kids. London, Sophie, Tripp and Grayson. Where could Asher and Cooper be??

There they are! In the other room getting into trouble!
We had a St. Patrick's Day photo shoot. This did not go over well with Grayson. He apparently has no interest in this holiday. The first shots are great.

All the kids....so hard to get them all to sit still. So here is what we got! Grayson was so sad this day.

This is the wall of fish when you enter the aquarium. He saw it looked at us with a huge smile and said Heh!

Everytime there was a peep hole we put him in it and he would just bang on the glass and talk to the fish.

First time at the beach!

Today was a very special day around here. It was Grayson's first time at the beach! We met Daddy there and had a picnic lunch. It was too cold to feel the water this time, but hopefully we can do that next.
He LOVED the sand! He started just dragging his fingers over it.....then he really dug in!
Every day we walk up to the lake in our neighborhood and look at the ducks and the geese that are swimming in it. He gets so excited to see them. Needless to say, he was completely in heaven when he saw all the seagulls at the beach. He sat silently in his stroller and just watched them fly by or land on the sand and walk around.

He preferred the wet, packed sand over the dry sand. But he went to town! He had it all over him! He even thought it might taste delicious, and boy is he quick! Several times he got his hand in his mouth before we could even stop him!
Our attempt at a family photo. Not too good....maybe next time will be better!
