September 10, 2014

Dear Grayson, You have turned into a big boy in front of my eyes. Your top two teeth came in, changing your smile. Your eyes glisten with curiosity. You pull away from me and reach for the ground. But once your feet hit you still call out, reaching for the safety of my arms and […]

Dear Grayson, There is a new look in your eyes, a new awareness of the world. You’re growing in leaps and bounds. You swung from your first swing this month in a park by Aunt Tete’s house.

July 16, 2014

Dear baby boy, You are officially mobile. You’ve got your army crawl down, sometimes you even pop up to your knees. To my surprise, this milestone has increased your frustration. You are so close to being able to roam free, you can taste it. You can sit-up like a pro, but getting from crawling to […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 28, 2014: This boy can’t get enough of the water. He still fits in the sink for his bath, but I’m not sure how long that will last. This was taken after his first adventure to a sandy beach. He was happy as […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 27, 2014: With each week he grows and with each week I become more and more grateful for this project. Some say he is looking more like his daddy. My uncle asked if that bothered me. I said, “Not at all, I […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 17, 2014: When I went to the pediatrician for Grayson’s six month appointment the doctor told me it was time to lower the mattress in Grayson’s crib.

Dear baby Grayson, You are growing up so fast, right in front of my eyes. For the first time I have had flashes of what you will look like as you get older. I am so excited for our conversations, adventures, and the stories we will tell each other. But each moment of joyful anticipation […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 15, 2014: Firsts are kind of momentous. This was Jeff’s first Father’s Day with his little guy. We went to one of our favorite spots, Trouble Coffee, and took a brief walk before Grayson started rubbing his eyes and yawning. Watching these […]
