A Milestone Hat Trick

Grayson has accomplished three new milestones this week. 

1. Laughing: it's the most adorable thing EVER! We caught it on video, but the file is so large I can't post it. Michael is working to edit just the laughing segment to a smaller size.

2. Discovering Roxy: For the last few weeks, Grayson has definitely been noticing Roxy and stares at her like he's trying to figure out what she is. This week he must have determined that whatever she is, she's safe, because he now enjoys reaching out to pet her. He's grabbed on to her fur a few times, but luckily let go pretty quickly. (He may be associating her with the "touch and feel" books I've been reading him. Hey, at least it's progress)

In turn, Roxy discovered Grayson's not so bad either and he may even be another person to love on her. This realization has resulted in the strong desire to constantly lick Grayson (which poses a challenge for his parents).

3. Honing the rollover: It's amazing how much a baby changes in just a matter of days. Grayson's gone from rolling onto his stomach and getting his hands pinned underneath himself, to mastering the roll and even pulling his legs up like he wants to take off crawling at any moment. He's better at rolling from his stomach to his back, but has made great progress due to some added floor time at school.

You said it--I think we are living parallel lives! Luke just started noticing Molly too and his belly laughs are my favorite thing in the world...we are still workin' on the rolling over though. :)
