Kisses and a Tooth

So this weekend we went hiking at Fort Ebey on Whidbey Island. We had so much fun and Grayson seemed to love being in his back pack! He was also throughly entertained by the dog in the back of the car while we were driving over and back. I was glad that he was having such a good day but this also meant that he wasn't napping. :(

LOVES it!

While we were waiting in line to catch the ferry home... we had to take him out of his car seat because he'd had enough and the dog was napping in the back so he was no longer entertained. I was driving and had him in my lap and he was having tons of fun playing and biting the steering wheel and trying to grab at the sticker that was on the window. And then he gave me what I can only describe as a baby's idea of a kiss... he leaned over all open mouth and drooly put his face up against my cheek and licked me. :) I could not stop laughing!!! So I kissed him a couple times on the cheek and then he came back and gave me another kiss!! It was so cute and so funny and also very slobbery and wet!

Today I felt Grayson's gums like I do every morning and noticed that the bottom front left tooth was just popping up from the gums!!! I swear this kid has been teething for the last 5 months and I'm so excited he's finally gotten a tooth! I'm also very excited that the tooth coming in has not... to this point... effected his sleeping. (Cross your fingers it stays that way)

A Tooth!!!

Anyways... it seems to me that any day now this little boy is going to crawl. I bought all the baby proofing stuff and just need to install it. Hopefully I'll do that within the next couple days because if I don't I know he'll start crawling before I get it in. Though if I do... he probably won't crawl for another couple months. Oh well... we are excited for him to start crawling and exploring... and I'm pretty sure he can't wait for the day when he figures it out either!

Trying so hard to crawl!
