Adjusting to life as parents takes time!
Which is why it’s been another 6 weeks since I last posted! Grayson is 12 weeks old today! As I write this, he is hanging out in his baby gym, swatting at the hanging rattles, wriggling around enough to rotate his position relative to the square he’s resting on, and “talking” up a storm! So many changes in such a short amount of time. I can’t believe how quickly it’s flying by!
LIfe with a baby is amazing, but challenging. I wouldn’t change it for the world, but there are times when I feel torn between loving on my little man, the house work that needs to get done, and the things that I would like to do. SInce I run a tutoring business out of my home, I really do HAVE to keep things picked up since it would be unprofessional not to. The laundry must get done so we have clean diapers and clothes that don’t reek of spit up. I’d love to just sit and snuggle with my little man all day long, but I find myself looking for every opportunity to put him down so I can get the housework done.
Thank God that we are blessed with a pretty happy baby. Of course he has his cranky times of day when he needs a nap, but, for the most part, he’s easy going. As he gets older, he is able to entertain himself for a bit longer and I am able to get things done in less time, giving me more time to hang out with him! I’m also finding time to do some of the things I want to do…like getting back into crochet and knitting just in time to get the Christmas presents made!
I have a long list of blog topics that I hope to get around to in the next few weeks. In the meantime, here are some pictures of my little man from the weeks since I last posted.
Grandma got lots of smiles when she came to visit at 7 weeks.

This is how an 8 week old hangs out at the coffee shop.
A shot taken on the day he turned 2 months old.
This is how Grayson listens to the sermon. It's OK for a 9 week old, but we'll expect better in a year or so!
This is one sleepy 9 week old boy!
We LOVE our ducky towel! Thanks Miss Lynette!
I think this is my favorite photo so far. He is SOOO cute! He's 10 weeks here.
I was amazed at how long he let these stay on his face. I actually took them off before he ever complained because they are just too big!
The "Magic" stroller that Grandma gave us. It's magic because he'll almost always go to sleep!
Just before the eyes close for a nap. So sweet!
Grayson's first time in the high chair. Almost 12 weeks. This is now one of his favorite places to be!
This is how Grayson watched volleyball. I can't believe he fell asleep with all that noise!
First time in the Bumbo seat. I think this will be a new favorite!
