Catch Up

Grayson is growing fast, especially in the last month.  He weighs over 20 pounds now!  He loves his food and has moved on to 8 ounce bottles.  Its hard to shovel the food in fast enough for him.  He is also starting to eat snacks but hasn't quite perfected bringing the snacks to his mouth by himself yet.  His favorite thing to do is grab them and then drop them over the side of the high chair for Bandit to get.  Grayson has also started talking much more.  We think he is more of a talker than Jillian was.  He has perfected his da da da da.  I guess that is only fair since Jillian said mama first.  We are going to PT every week now and he has made a lot of progress.  He is still not a fan of tummy time and can't hold his head up very well on his tummy so we have moved on to bigger and better things.  We are trying to build arm strength to learn to crawl.  He sits up pretty well on his own and has gotten much better at holding his head up while sitting.  You can easily tell when he is getting tired b/c he can't hold his head up as well.

We also have a teething boy - or at least we think - we have been saying that for months now!  We call Grayson our Drool Monster.  He goes through about 3 sets of clothes each day b/c they end up so wet.  He really liked it when I gave him a waffle to chew on but it didn't last long b/c Bandit came and stole it from him. 

Jillian is doing well also.  The potty training is FINALLY catching on.  She is going potty - pee and poop all by herself now and she is so proud of herself.  She amazes me each day with the things that she says.  She is such a sweet girl!  She went with her daddy to the store to pick out flowers for me for mother's day.  After she picked them out she told daddy, "Hey, what about Granny?"  She knew that Granny was at our house as well and thought she need flowers for mother's day as well.  Jillian is so great with Grayson!  She loves to play with him and help.  She calls herself the "snack feeder" b/c she likes to feed him snacks.

Jillian had her first experience with sponge curlers and she was beautiful!
She has also been up to her normal self  helping mommy in the kitchen but she has developed a new way of licking out the bowl
