Introducing...

Grayson Taylor Smith


Our sweet little boy was born on April 19th. He weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 in. long. He is my biggest baby yet, which actually kind of surprised me. I didn't think I had enough room in there for a baby that big. We think he is absolutely adorable. He's got quite a bit of dark hair. I'm not really sure who he looks like. Some say Hannah, I see some Jeffrey, maybe just a good mix of them both. He is just sweet little Grayson! Jeffrey absolutely adores him. He was so excited to come to the hospital and see him. He had the biggest smile on his face and just wanted to look at him and hold him. He just kept saying, he is so cute, his feet are so cute, he has the cutest little face. He woke up really early the day they were coming to pick us up and said, Happy Baby Day! Hannah loves baby Grayson, but she was a little disappointed when she found out it was a boy. She was kind of hoping for a girl. She was happier once Jeff told her he looked like her. She is very sweet with him too.

{The Kids Come to Visit}

The kids were excited to come pick us up. Hannah spent most of her time playing in the closet and eating snacks. Jeffrey just wanted to look at Grayson. They helped me choose an outfit for him. I can't believe I have three beautiful children!

Poor Grayson spent the first week of his life under the lights. That meant no clothes, just a diaper. I felt bad that I couldn't get him dressed and wrapped up all nice and warm. I had to take him in almost every day to get his poor little heel pricked. Finally, after 5 days the number had stabilized enough to take him off the lights. He's still a bit yellow.

I just love to sit and stare at him. He makes the cutest little faces and the cutest little sounds. He's been sleeping pretty good and only waking up twice during the night to eat. I'm still super tired. I know it will take some time to get used to having another child and finding that balance. I sure love my little family of five...
