Why hello! It's nice to have a week between me and all that car riding. Honestly, when I look at this first picture it brings back feelings of not wanting to be in the car anymore, even though I made everyone get in the car to go play there. Last Sunday after we unpacked the car and relaxed a bit I really wanted to go for a walk. I think that makes sense after being in the car so much. Then I thought it sounded really fun to walk down to the creek and play in the water, so we got everyone back in the car and headed over. This meant my desired walk turned out to be really short, but we all had a lot of fun. You don't get a grin like that without stuffing your mouth full of dirt, no sir!
Winry was a party machine out there! Check out this water dance! Anyway, we weren't there for too long, so we should go back again soon. Everyone did have a good time though.
When we went to find something for dinner we found a surprise from our sweet potatoes. I am quite sure that ALL happened in the past two weeks while we were gone. Yikes! Guess we know the potatoes were still alive...I'm thinking we should have cubed them and planted them...
Grayson started crawling this past week. We've been encouraging him, and he's started to get his scoot on! It's only a matter of time till he heads for the stairs, so I think we'll have to get the baby gates out this week. We bought Grayson some gates for Christmas, he'll be so excited to see them again!
On Tuesday I reported for jury duty! I was also selected! All in all, I was pretty interested to see what jury duty was like, and I would say I enjoyed the process, and it was fun to be a part of. It was a pretty straight forward case and only took Tuesday and Wednesday. I grabbed a picture of me attempting to stare into the sun on my way to the car after the first day.
Grayson had his 9 month check up on Thursday. He had to get a shot, and from the look of his toe he had to get blood drawn as well. He slept during the 15 minute drive there instead of getting a proper nap, but Monica said he didn't even cry when he got his shot! He was healthy, but decently behind developmentally. Well, until Monica came home and tried all the things she said no to on the questionnaire and he did them all... all caught up! Because of covid they don't give you the questionnaire until you get there now, so we hadn't tried a lot of the stuff on there before.
Grayson has been looking for more efficient ways to get around the house, so naturally he headed over to Dobby... Dobby mostly just struggled to get away while Grayson clung on for a free ride. In the end they finally separated (though Monica may have had to intervene). Grayson hasn't forgotten his dream to ride the vacuum, and Dobby's battery ends up being near dead at the end of each day from getting knocked off the charger.
Yesterday I was playing with Grayson and Brooke while Winry took a nap and Monica was grocery shopping. I was sitting on the couch and put Grayson down at my feet. When I woke up, he was at the back door looking out into the backyard. His crawling has improved immensely over the last week. I lured him back with a tiger toy that he really loves!
On Saturday we put up boards on our wall for board and batten. I think this picture is before Monica painted everything, so we'll have to do another picture next week once it's all done.
Those are the highlights from last week. It was a bit of a slower week, but it was nice after all the craziness of vacation. Grayson is busily army crawling around the house showing us all the things we need to hide or protect from him... I don't think we've ever had to really baby-proof that much for the girls, so we'll see how things go. Grayson's also started trying to pull himself up on the couch, so I'm sure we'll have some good stories next week, but don't hold me to that.
