another baby sickness down...

...99,000 more to go! So Grayson is completely over another sickness. I'm sure he caught this one in day care, but who knows. We thought he had something called Rosiolo, but we're not positive. The doctor said it was a virus. He ran a fever for four days and developed a rash all over his little body. The poor kid was miserable. But, we're past that now, and after another week of our sleep training program we are finally back to normal around here.

...wellllll, sort of. We had hardwood floors put in the living room yesterday. Grayson doesn't seem to notice a big difference other than the missing couches. Our new ones wont arrive until tomorrow. It's kinda funny, our living room looks like a yoga center at the moment. I don't mind! :)

This weekend was daddy's birthday. We didn't do anything big, since we've had so much going on with the house. Hooman did get to spend all Saturday with Grayson for some special bonding time.

We're going away again this weekend, and I'm just not as excited as I was for San Diego. I'm sure it's because I've been working more. We'll actually be spending the next TWO weekends in Tahoe. We'll see if I can convince Hooman to bring Grayson with one weekend??? I'll keep ya posted!

my last Friday...

Tomorrow is my last Friday with Grayson. I have spent every Friday with him since he was born. When I went back to work, I continued to have Tuesdays and Fridays off with him. Going full time is not going to be easy. I still don't know how to get rid of the lump in my throat. I already feel like he barely acknowledges me. All my "mommy" books tell me he should prefer to be around me, or smile more around mommy... not the case. Hooman tells me not to take it personally, but it's hard. ...it will only get harder.

I don't want to do anything tomorrow but be with him. I think I'll take him for a nice stroll in the early morning. Just Grayson and mommy.

how fast the time has gone...

So, I promised to post in the am. It is in the morning, but a few days later, sorry. Grayson continues to amaze me with all that he learns. He finally found his toes last week. I think his stiff legs kept him from finding out about his toes any earlier than now. Daddy had to watch him on Saturday, and apparently I forgot to tell him about his new "toys" so he was excited and took a ton of pictures with Grayson holding on to his feet.

I still cant get him to roll continuously from back to tummy to back, but so far this have been to my advantage. I know once he picks that up, all the other mobility tricks will be soon to follow. I still think he will crawl late, but walk early?! I know, weird.

Bottom teeth are starting to work their way up. They haven't broken the skin yet, but I know we'll see them any day now. Grayson makes the funniest face when he's chewing on his toys. Almost like it "hurts so good."

Anyways, I should get back to the boy. This is my last week to enjoy with him at home. Next week I go back to work full time... :( I'm ready to make the change, but sad at the same time. I know we will all adjust well.

till next time
