My first big boy bath, by Grayson

Tonight, Mommy and Daddy gave me my first big boy bath in my tub!
At first, I wasn't sure I liked it...

But, then, I think I kind of did enjoy it!  :)

My favorite part was cuddling with Mommy in my Elmo towel and robe.  Oh, and her putting lotion on me...I liked that a lot!

I also spent some time playing with Mommy on my monkey mat:


I have a big mouth like Mommy:

I am having lots of fun with Mommy and Daddy! I know they love me very much, and I love them, too!

Meeting Great Grandma Nonnie and friends!!!

Grayson is growing more and more each day, and David and I are falling more and more in love with him with each minute.  We went to the doctor on Thursday, and Grayson has gained 11oz and grew an inch in one week!  I mean, seriously, this boy eats like a champ!  :)  So, that means that he is up to 7lbs 4oz and 21.5 inches long.  Mommy is especially happy that our little boy is growing so strong.
I also had a check-up on Thursday, and it looks like my recovery is on track.  I have lost 23lbs since giving birth...I still have about 20 left to go.  I only have to lose 13 more to get to the weight I was when I got pregnant, but I figure, if I'm already losing weight, I might as well try to lose that little extra to get to where I feel my best! :) I am still trying to rest (as much as I can with a two and a half week old), and David has been absolutely AMAZING since Grayson was born.  I rarely have to change a diaper, fix a bottle, or change wet clothes...David always jumps up to do it!!  Grayson and I are so blessed to have him in our lives!  (I especially appreciate David being my chauffeur all around town, since I am still not allowed to drive after surgery.)

This past weekend, Grayson was able to meet one of his great grandmothers.  Nonnie is David's grandmother, and she is one of the sweetest women I have ever met...Grayson immediately fell in love with her, too!!

This was also the perfect opportunity to take a picture of 4 generations of the Stewart/Bledsoe family: Nonnie, Pam, David, and Grayson!

And, of course, David and I wanted to make sure we got a picture with Nonnie, too!  :)

Grayson also got to meet some other friends!  Unfortunately, we didn't forgot to take pictures with everyone, but we did get one with Auntie Char!  I think they immediately loved each other.

And, even though we didn't get pictures, we LOVED getting to see Matt, Chris, Rheanne, Goldie, and Bonnie!!!  

I will post some other pictures soon of the super cute clothes that we were able to snag on our trip.  And, of course, tomorrow is Pap Pap's birthday...so, we will visit him on Sunday!  

We love you all!

I like to hang out with my friends:

I like to take rides in the car:

Most of all, though, I like eating...but, Mommy didn't take any pictures of that...I hope you understand.  :)

Our fun family day

We had a super fun day with Grayson today.  Daddy was getting a little bit of cabin fever, and he suggested that we take a little ride in the car.  Thankfully, Grayson (and Mommy) love car rides, so we thought that was a grand idea.  But first, we had to spend some quality time at home!

Grayson spent some tummy time on his monkey mat:




Then, he moved onto his bouncy seat, which he LOVED (so much that he went straight to sleep)!  

He also like watching TV from his ocean play mat:

Finally, he took a little snooze with Froggy while Mommy and Daddy got some things done around the house:

A little while later, we were off for a ride!  Our first stop, Taco Bell, to get Mommy and Daddy some lunch.  I think Grayson enjoyed it, too.  :)

We stopped to have a nice picnic at Shelby Farms, since the weather was BEAUTIFUL (and we wanted Grayson so spend some time in the natural light), and then we took a quick walk down to the water:

It was a fun day!  So much fun, that Grayson zonked out before we even made it back home:

We love you all!!!!
