12-20-07 Wishing you all a Merry Christmas

Just in case I don't get to get on the computer when I get to Nebraska, I wanted to post a wish that everybody has a Merry Christmas! I can't wait for my first Christmas and for Santa to come!

12-20-07 A sledding back to Nebraska I will go!

Today we are going to head back to Nebraska. We will be in Lincoln until next Wednesday and then in Atkinson until the following Sunday. I don't know if I am looking forward to the trip (even though Mommy and Daddy bought me a portable DVD player and a bunch of Baby Einstein DVDs). I guess I have to look forward to all of the fun I will have when I get to my destinations. I don't know if I will go sledding back to Nebraska or ride in the car with Mommy and Daddy. The sledding was pretty fun!

12-20-07 I rolled over today!

Today, Mommy put me on the floor on my tummy for "tummy time" and I decided that since I don't like tummy time that I would fix it. So, I rolled over onto my back. I couldn't believe it when it happened. It was a lot of fun. Mommy tried to get me to do it again when Daddy got home but I decided that I would wait and show him when he least expects it.

12-18-07 Three months old and already know exactly what I want

I am now three-months old and have learned ways to express exactly what I want. When Mommy or Daddy try to put me in my swing or bouncy seat and I don't want to be there, I just stiffen up my body and won't let them sit me in there. For example, the other day Daddy tried to put me in my swing and I didn't want to be in there so I just I stiffened up my body and wha-la he had to keep holding me. Daddy said when I did that it was like he was trying to put a pizza box in the swing. Sweet! It works!

I also hate going to sleep. I try really hard to fight it. Even though I am really tired and crabby, I just don't want to miss anything. In fact, if I accidently start to fade to sleep, I often catch myself and try to wake myself back up by shaking my head. Also, stiffening the body in these situations seems to help as well!

12-17-07 Just kicken' around!

12-15-07 I am Three months old today and growing!

Wow! I am three months old today. I can't hardly believe it. Time is just flying in this place they call the "real world." I continue to grow and learn things everyday. The newest things that I have learned is how to squeel and laugh outloud. I was so surpised when those sounds came out of me. Now I am having so much fun talking. Mom has also been playing "big boy" with me. I sit down on the changing table and then when I stand up, she says "big boy". It is a fun game. My legs are now strong enough to hold me up for quite a while. I just wish I could learn to move them like I see other people do so that I could go just where I wanted all by myself. I will really give Mom and Dad a run for their money. I already have a list of places in the house that I want to check out. I am sure that nothing in the house will be off limits (especially with Dad) I am not sure if Dad will be able to say the word "no" to me or not? Time will tell and I will keep you updated.

Stats:

Weight - 14.87 lb (68%)

Height - 25.51 in (85%)

12-11-07 My new friend

I have a new friend. He is called Woobie. I got it from Grandma and Grandpa Dunn. I love snuggling with it especially on cold icy and snowy days like today. What makes this day really great though is that Daddy didn't have to go into work because of the icy roads. He still has to work from home, but I am at least glad to have him here.

12-7-07 Grandma Johnson

Grandma Johnson came to visit and spend time with me all this past week. Mommy had to work this week so it was nice to have just "Grandma and Grayson time." We did a lot together. I was very busy kicking and playing with my toys and she watched me.

Ths week Mommy and Daddy also put me back into my pack-n-play to sleep at night rather than sleeping in my bouncy seat. It was nice to stretch out and my acid reflux didn't even bother me. Speaking of sleeping, I am now only getting up once a night. I usually go to bed between 9:00 and 10:00 pm and then get up anywhere between 6:30 and 8:00 in the morning. That is pretty good, if I don't say so myself!!!

12-4-07 Giddy Up!

Grandma Johnson came to visit me this week and babysit while Mommy went to work (she only has to work part of this week and then doesn't have to go back until Jan 2--Yeh!!). She brought me this great cowboy/sheriff's hat. I am so cool in it.

11-30-07 Welcome to the World Cousin Carter

Today my Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Henry had a baby boy. His name is Carter Joseph. He weighed 7 lb and 14 oz and was 19 inches long. I can't wait to see my cousin and meet him. We are going to grow up together and have so much fun.
