This month we have hit the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. He started waking up so much at night! Thankfully he was easy to get back to sleep but it has taken a toll on me. He seems to be sleeping a bit better now so hopefully he will start sleeping longer stretches again soon.  

Grayson loves his family and knows when strangers are holding him. He sticks his bottom lip out and cries when we pass him off to someone else. It's cute but heartbreaking! He has been having some separation anxiety lately too which makes it hard to shower or get things done around the house. But he always calms down quickly when I pick him up. 

He loves his brother and smiles when he sees Dallin. He always get bright eyed when daddy comes home from work as well. He is easy to get laughing and loves to eat his hands. He could care less about toys because he has two hands that are more entertaining! He kicks his legs out fast quite often like he is trying to run. My favorite thing he does is stick his tongue out and does a little pant when he sees me walking towards him. I call him "little puppy dog" when he does that and it is adorable.

Grayson is three months old and growing fast. His size two diapers are getting tight and he is just about to move up to size 3 diapers. His tear ducts are still clogged and he knows when i have to put eye drops in his eyes or massage his tear ducts. He always flinches and tries to get away. Poor kid. 

He is smiling more and more and we have gotten some giggles out of him. Tyler is the best at getting Grayson to laugh and it usually happens just after a diaper change. He loves it when I sing to him. The Ants Go Marching just may start to be his favorite song just like it was Dallins's favorite song. 

Grayson is getting better at sleep. He still only gives a 4 hour stretch but he goes to sleep really fast after each night feeding which is nice. No more holding him upright for 30 minutes after eating! Naps are still mostly in the swing and he has about 4 a day. Whenever I put him in the crib for a nap, they are very short. He isnt really on a day sleep schedule, i just let him sleep when he gets cranky and it all seems to work out. This month we will try for a better schedule. 

Tummy time is getting to be more fun for him. He picks his head up now and looks around at us and at his toys. He is able to lay under his play mat and be distracted by his toys for a longer period of time which is nice when I need to get chores done. He is still very easy to console and just loves to be held. 

Overall, Grayson is a very easy going little guy and we all love him so much!

Grayson is growing like a weed! I am shocked by how chunky he is compared to how his brother was. This month Grayson started to wake up a bit more but he is still really sleepy and loves to go to sleep after eating. He is starting to sleep longer stretches at night. The longest we have gotten from him is a 6 hour stretch but that only happened once. He loves to cuddle and often bring him into bed with me in the morning so he will sleep longer. He grasps at objects more and he grabs his own shirt all the time, especially when he is hungry. He isnt much of a crier, but when he does he is easy to console. 

His smiles are the cutest and he is starting to coo more. We absolutely love his cooing! We have even heard a little bit of a giggle from him. I cant wait to hear more giggles in the future.

Dallin is still coming around to Grayson, but we can see the love Dallin has for his brother. He often asks if Grayson is OK and is patient with me when I am feeding Grayson. Dallin likes to help during Grayson's tummy time and makes sure Grayson always has a blanket when he is in the swing. It is so cute watching the two of them together.

Grayson is one month old today and time seems to be flying. He is such a calm and sweet baby. He rarely cries and if he does cry, he calms down immediately after being picked up. He is growing like a champ and is already starting to look chubby. Grayson loves to sleep and for the majority of this month he has been asleep! He is only just now starting to wake up. However, he wakes every two hours to eat at night so he isnt the greatest night sleeper. Grayson loves the car and loves being worn in the wrap. He also loves his swing. He even takes a pacifier for a little bit which Tyler is excited about. So far I think he loves everything because he is so calm. Dallin is still a little unsure about having a brother, but he is slowly warming up and I even got him to hold Grayson for a second. Literally a second and then he said he was done. Being a mom of two is a bit more difficult but so far we are surviving :)
