So, last minute on Friday, mommy decided to ride back to Clear Lake with daddy. He had a fantasy football party (in fact he is at another one tonight here in KC and has two more this week!) on Saturday so mommy thought it would be a nice time to visit with family. And Gus was really excited to see his grandparents. So we left on Friday afternoon and just got back a few hours ago. Worth it but I am exhausted and am sure it will take a few days to catch up. Gus got to see Kacy, Andi, Rian, Avery and Cade this weekend. And of course got to see each of his grandparents and get some quality time in with them too.Gus has had a very small, but tear-enticing-for-mommy, milestone. Over the weekend, Gus started grabbing links and toys on his own, with actually meaning to grasp them! He stares and stares and stares at them and then, with very little dexterity I must admit, clumsily grasps the object of his intention and hangs on to it with all the might he can muster! A few minutes ago he grabbed onto the lion attached link pictured above (on his own and with no help from mommy this time) and pulled it so that it played music! Mommy didn't even realize what had happend until half the song was done playing and realized that he did it ALL BY HIMSELF! This all went on for about 30 minutes and then he crashed, and is now napping in his crib. That was a lot of work for our little man!
He is growing up so fast. He prefers to sit (well be propped up at least, it isn't really sitting when he still face plants every time he gets excited, LOL) rather than lie down. We are working on balance excercises every day. He kicks and kicks in his pack n play and vibrating seat so that the mobiles move. He is just so darn smart. And the smiles are so so so huge and contagious. Time is flying by so fast. Hard to believe that he is nearly 3 1/2 months old. I can't wait to see all the new things he will be doing once another month has passed! Well, not much happening this week for mommy. Just work and time with the Gus man. This coming weekend we are planning on laying low and spending time together as a fam. We have a few busy weekends coming up so it will be nice to relax and prepare for those.
