Grayhm 5 Week Update

Grayhm is definitely becoming more alert and staying awake longer.  He is becoming more sensitive to the sounds around him, and doesn't love it when Sesame Street comes on in the morning to interrupt his sleep.  We have had a few nights of sleep where he will go for 5+ hours.  We're even starting to see a pattern where he eats around 8pm, goes to bed around 10, and will sleep until 5! 

Mayson has been doing great with her routine of going to Ava and Aliza's house on Monday and Wednesday, and Angie's on Tuesday.  Mimi has been giving Mayson a great report when she spends the day with her and the girls.  We get a paper every time we pick her up that tells us how she did that day.  Here's some quotes from her reports:
The other day, Mimi noticed that Mayson was recognizing shapes in her pretzels.  She said, "Look Mimi, a triangle!" Then she made an E out of some of her other pretzels. 

She has been doing great at her swimming lessons too.  Mimi reported that Mayson learned to close her mouth and go underwater, and she tried on her goggles.  Teacher Hannah reported, "Mayson is going to be the fastest mermaid ever!"

Mimi also says, "Mayson is a 'goer.' She likes to encourage us to keep going and says, 'Let's go!" They definitely do a lot and are on the go.  While with Mimi and the girls, Mayson walks over to 3rd Place Books and the library, checks out Starbucks and gets samples at the bakery, and does art projects.  She gets to pick out books, have picnics, does crafts, and goes to story time.
