Not All Smiles
My blog might be misrepresentative of our child. I post a lot of happy smiles and it's true, in the morning, Gregory is all smiles and joy! It helps me, considering I'm soooo not a morning person. Gregory makes me smile :)
But my blog pictures aren't everything... and my husband, if you spoke with him, might make you think we had the perfect baby. It's easy to focus on the smiles, because we love our little boy. But the fact is, he cries. A lot... in the evening... when energy levels are low. And I want a nap as much as the baby does, but he fights it.
We try to wear out Gregory in the walker (yes, he can use it on his tippy toes)... and we do tummy time, which he can't stand. He can roll to his side and then to his stomach, but his arm gets caught under him.
He was a grump. My husband asked me, "What does he want?" I said, "I don't know." Baby was fed, changed, entertained... but now, he needed sleep. My best option, strap him in and lets go for a walk.
That seemed to work :)

Gregory did eventually get that arm out from under him, but as you can see.. oh boy, he wasn't happy about it!

He's reaching that age that I absolutely love. It's that age when they start really being entertaining.
