Sad trip to Ohio

My Grandpa Bailey passed away on October 29th. It was a huge shock to everyone and some very sad news to receive. We left and traveled to Ohio. It was a very difficult time and I often think of the man that the world lost. We love you and miss you!

We were in Ohio three weeks before my Grandpa passed away for my Great Grandma memorial service and I am glad that I had taken a picture with Grandpa holding Grayson.

Grayson first Christmas was an awesome day! I can't wait until he gets older and gets up way too early and get totally excited, but for now we had so much fun.

Our little Man!

Grayson is growing so fast. He is now 11 months old. I know, crazy right. Over the last few weeks he has started doing so many new things. Crawling, up on his knees, pulling himself up, and not looking so much like mommy's baby anymore. I look at him in awe and can't believe it's been 11 months.

Even though Grayson can crawl on his knee he still opts for the military crawl. It has to be so much harder but it's what he is most comfortable with I guess.

Grayson is back to loving bath time. For about 2 months bath time was a nightmare in this house. It was wash him as quickly as possible and get him out. He would have this look of panic on his face that would break my heart. Then he would scream and cry the whole time.

But now he loves the bath. He loves to play with his toys and stand up and fall back on his bottom. It so much fun watching him in the bath tube.

Grayson has started crawling up the stair this pass week. The other morning I went looking for him thinking he was playing in the mudroom and he had crawled up to the first landing. Needless to say I was a little freaked out how quickly and quietly he did that.

We had put in a cat door to the garage for Pheobe and Grayson loves to throw whatever he can out of it. He has even figured out how to get Daddy's shoes out of it which is pretty impressive.


As we are preparing for Grayson big birthday I can't help but be a little sad at how fast the last year has gone but I am loving every stage and watching him grow.
