Ok. So, here's the deal. It's time for the second installment of this series of posts. I wrote the first one when Grayson was almost two weeks old. Now he is rapidly approaching three months old, and he is changing constantly. We still have a lot to learn about the little guy, but these are some of the things we know about him:
(1) The child has crazy hair. I mean seriously. Pure insanity. This stuff cannot be tamed. He had quite a bit of hair when he was born, but he's getting more and more all the time. To make matters worse (or better, depending on how you view the whole crazy hair thing), the hair he does have is growing quickly, and apparently the craziness grows in direct proportion to the length. For the record, Jenny and I love it.
(2) People always ask how well Grayson is sleeping. It's easily the most common question I get about him. Fortunately, I am able to answer that he is a pretty good sleeper. He has had some rough nights, and he has had some horrible nights, but for the most part he sleeps very well. At this point he usually has about six to eight hours of continuous sleep every night. A few weeks ago, his nights were still very inconsistent, and his sleep was restless. He would grunt and twitch throughout the night. Jenny was smart enough to think that it might be a reflux problem. She discussed the possibility with our pediatrician, and sure enough. Apparently, it's a very common issue with infants. Of course, like always, I had no clue. Ever since he's been on his reflux medication, he sleeps longer and much more soundly, which is a good thing for everyone.
(3) The boy likes to eat. Sometimes he likes it a little too much. On occasion he slips into a semi-awake/semi-asleep state that we, his loving and affectionate parents, refer to as "milk drunk." There's really no other way to describe it. See for yourself:
(4) Grayson has become quite active. I guess it has been a progression since he was born, but it seems as if all of the sudden he is doing all kinds of things. Every morning after his breakfast, he is very energized. He reaches and grasps at things, he makes all kinds of noises, and he even rolls himself over. It's amazing to me how over the course of two months he has gone from basically doing nothing but sleeping and eating to being so interactive. Next month he'll be doing Algebra.
