I took Grayson to Michigan this month to visit with family. There are several blog posts about the trip. He was a perfect angel on the plane rides, and traveling alone was better than I expected. He was a pretty happy baby the entire vacation....he's such a good boy!! :)

Last weekend we took Grayson to Long Island to see his grandparents and visit a farm to see pumpkins!!

Grayson is pushing himself up more on his arms...

...and can stay on his knees when someone helps him into that position.

As of just a few days ago, Grayson has been rolling over to his tummy all the time, but still isn't rolling to his back consistently. He is content to just sit and play with his toys.

He is eating cheerios, which was his first (and only, at his point) finger food.

He's been taking bigger bottles and is eating more and more baby food, which I think is a big reason why he is sleeping better.

He continues to sleep well for naps, and is sleeping the entire night, only waking to eat ONCE!!! This is a huge improvement! He sometimes wakes up a few times before 11pm, but for the most part he has been going down well and staying asleep until he wakes to eat. But after that he sleeps until 8am!!

We just started a weekly music class that goes for another 6 weeks....he seems to love it so far!!

We don't have another doctor's appointment until next month, but I am guessing he weighs about 20 pounds.
