Not as Planned

So I was in the car on the way back from Costco today and I have one of those mirrors so I can see Grayson in the backseat. He was holding up his little Winnie the Pooh book and studying it so closely; and I welled up with such huge amounts of love for his serious little face! And I started thinking about how awesome he is and how much fun we have and how really nothing in all of this went the way I thought it would. It started with having to have a c-section has worked its way up to me now no longer breast feeding him. But he's happy and healthy and in my opinion super smart! :) And really I think that's all you can ask for... and I wanted to write down how I was feeling about it all today so that the next time I started feeling guilty about not breast feeding or struggling with things not going just as planned I could read this and realize that it's all ok!

Now... back to Grayson being super smart :) We went to the Dr's office last week and they have these boards on the walls for kids to play with that are like giant mood rings. They are big and black and when you touch them the heat of your hand changes the color and leaves a mark and depending on how long you leave your hand on the board it changes color and stays longer and all that jazz. Anyways I was showing Grayson how it worked while the nurse was taking all her notes and then he started to play with it too... and was smiling and running his hands all over it. And right before the nurse walked out the door she said... "I know it has nothing to do with why you came in but I added to the notes that he's very attentive and alert and curious. That is wonderful!"

We went swimming in Elizabeth's pool with Grayson this weekend and he had sooo much fun! So I've included some pictures of the event below... along with my new favorite of Grayson and Boomer.

Hanging out with Puppy while Mom and Dad do yard work.

Swimming in Lizzers pool with Mommy

The best way to get around the pool was to stand on Daddy's stomach and have him glide us around!

This is the life!!!

Oh sissy! No, nothing about this little man has been planned, but he is such an amazing little baby!! Plus, he's adorable. You should not feel guilty about things. You are trying your hardest with what you can, and he will grow up knowing that. I love you both so much!
