Okaaaaay, you can get up ...

On Sunday afternoon, I was sitting on the couch listening to Sweet Baby Grey talk his way out of his afternoon nap. He knows I'm a sucker for his happy coos and noises. I think he's on to me ... he knows that I'll let him out of his nap if he keeps it up for any length of time. I let him go for a good 20 minutes and then I decided I would go get him. This is what I found ...

Happy Seven Months SBG!

Greysen is SEVEN MONTHS today. Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Grey! G is doing so many new things that I hardly think I can remember them all. What hasn't changed is what a joy he is. He's a smiley, happy baby, holding hands (that's the song we sing to the tune of REM's Shiney Happy People).
He sits up on his own! (Don't worry, he was being supervised.)


He uses the pincer to pick up finger foods! Pincer is a development milestone using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects (like food). Usually babies that are between 9 and 12 months reach this milestone. Crazy genius 7 month baby. I figure he's motivated by food, like his Mama. Here he's eating plums. He loves plums.



He DANCES! He rocks back and forth with a smile on his face when music begins. Even when Papa does the beat box, he does the rockabilly to the beat. I wish I could post my video but alas, it's too long to download and too cute to cut. So, you'll have to see this in person.
He breaks free from his swaddle every time now. I still swaddle him because it's a way to ensure his warmth now that it's getting colder. But we might have to give it up altogether if I start to find the blanket over his face. He loves to put the blanket over his face.


He loves Cassie Care at the new location. They have play time outside almost every day. They get out in the stroller about town with Cassie. And they get to eat leaves.

I can't wait for the next month to see what else he'll try. We hope to report that the newest trick is to sleep through the night - he's almost there but might need a little training. Wish us luck.

Good Buddies

Greysen and Bennett are good buddies. They even look alike and wear each others' clothes. Bennett is wearing Greysen's jacket and Greysen is wearing Bennett's pants and jacket.
When Greysen protests tummy time because Cassie places toys just out of his reach so he might figure out how to get them himself, Bennett brings the toys and pats his head like he's saying, "Don't worry little buddy, I've got your back."
Cutie patooties!

Sweet Baby AAM!

Amelia Ann Moog was born this morning to her amazing Mama Kim at 2:50 a.m. I got a text at 3:04 a.m. announcing her arrival. YES, that is just 14 mins after she gave birth. Did I say amazing? Amelia is adorable and sweet and already loved by the whole town over. Welcome Sweet Baby A.

Autumn walk


Greysen loves to be outside. Even though he's been a sick little one, we took him for a short walk when we visited Papa while he worked. It made Papa as happy as it made G.

Melted Mama

Greysen woke up about 4:45 a.m. this morning to eat. He barely opens his eyes while he eats, so I quickly change his butt and then put him back to bed. This morning he was a bit more awake while I changed him. He chewed on his feet, talked to DaDaDa, and smiled at me in the little light of the room. I swaddled him up and put him in his bed, wide-eyed and happy. I checked on a couple things in the room; the usual things to make my paranoia relax (make sure the door is locked, the heat is off, and the humidifier is going) and then peaked into his crib before I went back upstairs. He turned to look at me immediately which startled me a bit, as I thought he was surely already sleeping. But then he gave me a content, happy, very sweet smile, turned back to his crib and was out. Melted my heart.

Charms


Greysen got to cuddle on his own with Cassie this morning. He misses his buddies but likes to have all the attention. They took a walk to Starbucks and wooed the regulars with coos and giggles. How can you resist the charms of such a Sweet Baby?

VIP Meeting

I skipped out of work early today ... errr, I mean, I had a very important meeting with CEO Greysen and President Emerson downtown today. We held our meeting in the nicely lit, wide-open, very natural meeting room. I think the executives were very happy with how the meeting went.



Loving son...

Greysen admires a pic of his Mama and Aunts Jessie and Cassie. He even gave it kisses. The feeling is mutual little man.

Big Boy


Greysen was overseeing the chaos at Cassie-care this morning. He can barely hold up those cheeks!

Growing Up Too Fast ...

Greysen is reaching for a cell phone in this pic. You see, this is what I was afraid of - I'd leave him at Cassie-care and he'd grow up so fast without me, that the next time I saw him, he'd be wanting a cell phone and chasing girls. Thankfully I haven't had an update where he's been chasing girls.

Cool Clothes for G

As it gets a little colder outside, I get to bust out Greysen's cute clothes for cooler seasons. I've always said that now that I have a little boy, I can dress him the way Hubs won't let me dress him. I'm sure G will be mad at me one day but look how cute he is now!




Thanks AP for the great pics - though G doesn't look too happy with this one.

Cassie-care Updates

Ahhhh, G cuddled with Hero today at nap time.

He also broke free from the swaddle in a peculiar way.




I love my regular text updates from Cassie.
