8 months old

Here he is.....our smiling 8 month old boy! Not much to report on this blog, but figured I would post our monthly birthday. We do have our third tooth. It is the top, right one. The fourth one should be on its way shortly, we are told. We are doing tummy time more and more and hoping that we get closer to crawling. He is getting much better at it and will actually play on his stomach now instead of whining to be flipped over. The doctor also called him a "toe stander" because when he stands up and plays, he does so on his tippy toes. Grayson would probably beat anyone in a "calf contest."

Along with being 8 months old, we have our first illness. I guess we can't complain, it has been a good run. A nasty cold with a horrible cough. It is so painfully sad to see our sweet, happy baby wince and cry every time he coughs. Hoping we are at the tail end of it as it has been almost a week of this mess. The doctor also told us to start vitamins so we are doing that daily now also. When we went to the doctor to get him checked out, he weighed in at 19 lbs and 14 oz. Our New Years planned trip to Atlanta was cancelled due to a sick baby. Hopefully we will get up there before Grayson is 18 years old!

Below is another prized photo of the "scrunchy face." We are beginning to like these more than the regular smile ones. :)
