{seven} months old...

As I look at my "recent" posts, this blog has turned into a monthly update on Grayson... Hopefully that will change this fall but who knows... In the meantime, my baby boy turns 7 months old today... I really can't get enough of this kid, I don't just post pictures of him smiling, that is all he does. He is such a happy baby still... This kid is officially moving and shaking. He has been "crawling" for the past week, just going a few "steps" forward and testing the waters. But I woke up this morning and he is really crawling... Which is crazy and I am so not ready for. And neither are Audrey or Chase but they will see soon enough what I have been telling them ("you are in trouble once Grayson starts crawling" :)... He is a major busy body and is constantly moving and looking around. No more cuddling unless he is really tired which is sad but the way it goes... He is loving solid foods and will eat anything that I give him which is a nice change of pace from his siblings though I think they weren't picky at this age either... He is enjoying finger food and I am trying to introduce things that he can actually eat without choking. Right now we are limited to puffs, Ritz crackers, graham crackers, and occasionally a green bean or whatever veggie we happen to be eating. Hopefully we will expand this list sooner than later... He is very good at getting things in his mouth which is impressive at this age and it makes like much easier on me (you all know how much I LOVE to spoon feed baby food, blah).

He has turned into a great beach baby as you can see, but is quite a challenge now as he wants to be in the sand no matter how hard we try to keep him out of it. So he eats it and gets it all over him, which is part of being at the beach I guess right?
