Creepy Crawly

I was chastised today by Jo Grandma for not posting in a while. We've been busy and Grey still doesn't have a good nap routine going... so I've been neglecting my duties here. This morning he slept (not in my lap!) for over two hours and I felt like superwoman, I got so much done around the house!

Today it's only in the 60's. A fluke late "cold" snap, we'll have lows in the 40's tonight. Greyson and I went for a nice long walk to enjoy the weather. Soon it'll be in the 90's and too warm to walk during most of the day. Our new stroller will be cooler and have ventilation, but for now we're still using the infant car seat and that can get sweaty for the little guy.

Yesterday Auntie Jenny came over for a practice session and I ran some errands. I left Greyson with a bottle of milk and went on my merry way. I guess the bottle feeding didn't go over well, but we worked on that and I'm confident that he'll eat while I'm at work. Some babies do a "reverse cycle" where they fast during the day when mom's at work and then want to nurse all night long when she's home. Let's hope it doesn't come to that! Grey loves his mommy milk, so he'll just have to learn to love it from a bottle for a while.

Meanwhile I've been doing my baby food research and I'm excited to start him on solid foods (cereal and fruit and veggies) soon! I'm getting advice and recipes and getting ready. Mike can't wait, and it should be pretty fun just to see his reactions.

Greyson is now officially Creepy. When he's on the bed or floor (or anywhere really) he now rolls from front to back with abandon. He scoots and rolls around and tries to get out of any crib or swing or stroller or seat he's in. Ah, the beginning of the end (of my sweet immobile baby)!

We're having a quiet week, in preparation for a big weekend. We'll go visit my parents and Grey will meet some of his Great Aunts and Uncles. They're just my plain old aunts and uncles, I don't know what makes them so Great to Greyson ;-) We'll have a nice beach picnic and celebrate Nana and Grampa's 60-something th Anniversary. Something to aspire to!
