October Recap: So much fun, Too little time.

So, this post is a little overdue- but better late than never! October was a busy month for Grayden. And we have a lot of pictures to share! Both Grandma and Nana came to visit and help out for the the last week of October, because Rob was planning to substitute teach for the week. We had a great time, and Grayden was just a wee bit spoiled (new clothes, bibs, ATTENTION, field trips, and warm oatmeal). He even got to see his Uncle Randy and Aunt Lynsi for a quick dinner!

Other news: Grayden went to the pumpkin farm for a second time, went trunk or treating for the first time, and wore his costume on Halloween (for the 7 or 8th time). He's crawling very well now, and it's hard to keep up! Rob followed him one day and Grayden led him out to the deck and down the steps into the yard. (I'm still not sure if I agree with letting him crawl down the steps.) Not only is he crawling, but he's standing! He has to have something to hold onto, but he's doing really well, and I predict walking in the near future... scary I know.

Solid Food Update: We've started some finger foods: cheese, cheerios and toast. He's also had some yogurt. Other new foods: blueberries (mixed with apples) and mango. He still hasn't had any meats... (baby meats look and smell like dog food.) But we may try to introduce that sometime soon.

Speech Update: So Grayden babbles here and there (laughs ALL the time). He's said mom and momma, but hasn't said it as much as he was. I think we've heard him say Dada, but it's unclear. But I'm positive he's been saying Riley! HA! :) At least it sounds like it. Sometimes he says "hi". But again, it may be accidental. But, it's fun either way. Right?

AND my favorite! Grayden has a tooth!! It just started to sprout, and you can't really see it, but you can definetly feel it (it's really sharp!). It's his bottom front tooth. So, hopefully by Thanksgiving, he should have a nice pretty white tooth!

Enjoy the pictures!
