.4 Months.

I LOVE this little guy!!!

Our little man is now 4 and a half months old.

Time has flown by, but we have been enjoying every second with him.

He is such a happy baby and SO sweet!

He LOVES to give smiles to everyone. 

His smile is contagious. My heart skips a beat EVERY time he smiles at me.

He is the ONLY baby I have ever met that actually enjoys diaper changes. He smiles at me the whole time I am changing his diaper as if to say "Why Thanks Mom!". ha ha

He is wearing 6-9 month tops (some 9-12 months) and still 3-6 month bottoms (some 6-9 months).

He has a nice long torso like this Daddy, and his legs are a bit shorter...but he is by no means a shorty.

He had his 4 month check up on Friday, here are his stats:

Weight: 16lbs 12oz (76%)

Height: 27in (97%)

Head: 17.5in (92%)

In other words, he is perfect! ;)

He is rolling from his tummy to his back and is SO close to rolling from his back to his tummy.

We tried rice cereal twice...he didn't really have an opinion on it either way, so we are going to try again in a few weeks.

He loves to "talk" with everyone.

He still is a Mommy's boy and a big snuggler.

He is sleeping in his own bed for part of the night, but still likes to sleep with me most of the night.

LOVE this adorable little face. :)

.My Big Little Guy.

Greyden had his final jaundice check on Thursday.

His levels were down to 4.3 YAY!! 

I was originally told to stop breastfeeding him for 24 hours to ensure it went away when I took him in for his check up last month. I had done research on this particular topic and had actually had the Dr. before tell me that it would clear up on it's own. Her son had breastmilk jaundice as well and she did not stop breastfeeding.

Well, I did NOT stop nursing him and everything has gone exactly as my research had said. 3 months and it is pretty much gone.

At his check up he weighed in at a healthy 15lbs 6oz!! He is now officially in 6-9 month clothes although 3-6 month pants will still fit him...he has a nice long torso like his Daddy.

.Greyden's Blessing.

Aaron blessed Greyden back on September 25th. 

It was a very special day, as this was the first baby Aaron has blessed.

Greyden was wide awake throughout the blessing and didn't make a sound.

Aaron was joined in the circle by our friend/neighbor Preston, Grandpa Cutler, his Dad, all of his brothers, brother-in-law Chase, his cousins John & James (I think...I can't remember for sure) and the bishop. 

Afterwards we had a little get together over at Grandma & Grandpa Cutlers.

.3 Months.

My little boy is now 3 months old!! We are enjoying this little guy SOOO much!! 

*He LOVES to smile and gives the best smiles ever. It melts my heart every time.

*He loves to "talk" with Mommy and Daddy. I will lay on the floor with him and we will have little conversations that last a few minutes. 

*He has been in his 3-6 month clothes since he was 2 months old. He is definitely growing like a boy. He weighed 1 oz less at his 2 month check up than Lily did at her 4 month check up.

*He loves to be held and demands that I hold him most of the day. I can lay him down now while he sleeps, although I still enjoy it when he takes a nap in my arms every once in a while.

*He is on the verge of learning to laugh...he will definitely be laughing within the next couple of weeks.

This is Daddy's sure fire way to get Greyden to smile, every time.

.2 Months.

2 Months went by in the blink of an eye. 

Luckily, he is still a baby...but man has he gotten BIG!

We went in for his 2 month check up yesterday. I had guessed he was going to be between 12.5 and 13 lbs. 

Here are his stats:

12lbs 12.2oz (75%)

22inches (50%)

Head: 16.1in (70%)

I haven't ever had a big baby before, having had girls before him. So it is weird for me to have a baby just about outgrow his 0-3 month clothes at 2 months vs the 4 or 5 months with my girls.

He got the normal 3 shots and 1 oral vaccination. Thanks to his jaundice that he is still showing physical signs of (his chest is still a bit yellow, according to the Dr.) he had to get his blood drawn as well. It wasn't a little heel poke this time either, they had to draw it from his arm. Let's just say, it was emotionally taxing on me. Especially now that they have you hold your little one on your lap while they give them their shots.

I swear, I saw the first needle coming at him and my first reaction was to knock it out of the nurses hand. Good thing she was quicker than me ;)

Greyden has not been big on smiling until about a week and a half ago. Now he will smile at just about anybody, but Daddy still gets the biggest smiles he can give.

I love this picture of my 3 babies. Greyden's face is PRICELESS.

Greyden has been such a blessing to our family. He is such a calm, mellow and loving baby. My favorite time of the day is when he falls asleep in my arms and just wants to snuggle with me for nap time.

Aaron and I have talks a lot about how special this little guy is. He has definitely completed our family (for now) and brought us all closer together. I couldn't imagine life without him.

.7 Weeks.

The past 7 weeks have been nothing short of amazing. I am so in love with my little man! 

Nap Time smiles...my favorite :)

Greyden is a serious baby. He rarely cracks a smile for you and if he does, you had to work pretty hard for it.

He is such a little snuggle bug. He has to be snuggled up as close as he can get to me when he falls asleep at night...or any time for that matter.

He spends most of his day either in my arms (with a tight grip on my shirt) or in the Baby Bjorn. I can sometimes sneak him into his swing for a quick nap, but those occasions are rare. 

He is definitely a Momma's boy, but he sure loves his Daddy too.

He knows his Daddy's voice well and will turn his head towards Daddy's voice whenever he hears him. 

I assume he doesn't mind bath time too much because he never cries when he is in the tub. Like I said though, he is always so serious so it's hard to tell what he truly likes.

Greyden's Poker Face

We feel so lucky to have this little guy as a part of our family.
