Baby Contest

The competition was fierce I was quite surprised with this outcome. There were so many cute little boys there! After he saw the judges & got his free rattle & Little Amigo kids meal I was completely content about the $10 I paid. I love Strawberry Days I think every year our committee does such a great job with all the festivities! (minus $12 for the rodeo- ouch!)

When they announced his name my mom & sisters cheered so loud that it scared him & he started crying hysterically!

"Big Brother"

Grayden found the camera in his room last month. This is what I saw...

9 Month Check- Up

5.14.09

I love seeing how big he is getting for that scale!

Height: 28.6" (70%)

Weight: 17.3 lbs (15%)

Head: 17.5" (30%)He has dropped on the curve & it makes me sick. I've been told not to worry because he has been sick fighting ear infections since March (7 months old). It finally got bad enough that he is getting tubes in his ears Friday morning (6.19.09). It's been so sad seeing him suffer. Nursing, eating, sleeping you could see that it was painful for him :( I'm just happy that he'll finally start to feel normal again.

Grayden at 9 months ~

• is a lizard! Both tongue & movement. He'll crawl normal for short distances but he prefers the "army crawl" probably cause he's so fast at it.
• finally has his first tooth! He likes to bit me sometimes when nursing, I scream and he laughs- NOT funny!
• tries really hard to roll all the toilet paper off the roll.
• is really good with his pinchers.
• is impossible to change both clothes & diapers. As soon as I lay him down on the changing table it is his mission to see how fast he can sit up. I start to get mad but then he'll get this huge grin & look on his face like he just accomplished Everest.
• is standing up every where & walking around the furniture. We've had many spills so far especially in the tub.
• loved to clap all the time but has moved on from that stage now.
• gives kisses when asked- I just love!
• has had 3 big hair cuts & needs another.
• is such a joy in our lives & we just love him to death!
