Razorback & Serious Biker in Training

Yup...don't deny it...y'all knew it was inevitable that at some point (if not MANY points) a picture of Grayson like this would surface. And don't worry, we have a few outfits that will fit him at 6 months and 12 months too. :-) Go piggies! Ok, ok...to be fair...here's little man in his AF Academy garb too.

In other news, the Halsted Clan has also started biking again. For those of you who know us, Dan and I love biking...so much so that we used to pedal about 40 miles every weekend. Unfortunately we weren't able to keep that up during the pregnancy and the early weeks of Grayson's life. But never fear (insert the Superman "dun-dun-dun-dun!) ...we've solved our conundrum and purchased a snazzy bike trailer. The trailer is a 2 seater... plenty of room for Grayson and any sort of soccer ball, picnic basket, misc playground equipment, etc.

For now, Grayson sits dead center in a special harness for little tykes. It's absolutely hilarious. With no other way to describe his position of choice, he assumes a, er, er, Jesus on the cross posture. I think it's due to the harness padding, the angle of his recline, and the shear amount of G-force applied from his Dad's super human strength. ;-)
Needless to say, he loves it. Lots of cooing, enjoyment of the sights, and after about 20 minutes, a restful nap. We couldn't be happier that he loves it, allowing us to do what we love too.

And last but not least, since it is almost October, I busted out the fall attire. Make sure to check all the shots on picasa!

Lackluster Dinner Conversations

Every night at the dinner table, Grayson provides a million gasps and "ahh's" in response to my laundry list of questions and statements posed to him...all which culminate into what I believe he considers are lucid conversations. Yes, I realize they are ooh's, ahh's and gasps made by a 3 month old, but I talk to him and respond to him (in that "only for Grayson" tone of voice) as if he's providing intelligible answers.

Well, the other night Grayson thought Mom & Dad's dinner conversation was apparently lacking any bit of excitement and he has requested next time we talk a little more about Elmo...

3 Months!

Yup, another month has flown by!

Our little man is now 3 months old!

We celebrated the momentous occasion by purchasing a jump toy (we affectionately call it "jump jump")...and needless to say, he's so little in it!
So little, in fact, that his feet would not reach the floor (even on the lowest setting!) until my ingenious hubby grabbed the Wii fit box to put under little Grayson's feet.

Worked like a charm!

Now if we can get him to actually jump!

It's a work in progress. :-)

Another milestone has been reached too....Grayson is sitting AT the dining table with us. And just like the jump jump, he swims in the high chair seat. We've become professionals at jamming blankies into the unused space around him.
It's so great to have him at the table with us though!

No more talking to him while he's swinging next to us.

I snapped a few photos marking the 3 month birthday, however we do have our professional photographer coming by to take official ones. As soon as we get those, we'll post.
In the meantime, make sure to check out the amateur 3 month photos.

Hope all is well with everyone!
