Gunnar of Fire

6 teeth, (sort of) 19.6 lbs. (40 percentile), "tall" (90 percentile) and a perfect little head...all to
be expected at 9 months....but walking? yes, he's amazing : ) and we of course think
he's the coolest kid EVER.

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Not many tricks for Gunnar's first Halloween, but it sure was a treat to hang out
with his best buddy Barry. See....they are a natural pair....what race car driver doesn't need a grease monkey and what grease monkey doesn't need a race car driver? Of course there is nothing greasy about sweet little Barry, but what a funny picture!

Gunnar is already learning the valuable lesson that all nice things must be cared for and some times they break and need to be fixed. Until Gunnar looks back at these pictures one day, he really has no idea what the purpose of the whole evening was... but we sure enjoyed the opportunity to show him off.

hey pardner!

I think this picture says it all....this city boy belongs in the country. It took no coaxing and only a matter of seconds for him to grab a piece of straw and put it in his chubby little cheeks. He's a natural.

Greatest Ever?

... a plumber perhaps?

I think one of the coolest things about being a parent is wondering, and praying,about what your children will grow up to be and what they will do and watching them make decisions, both good and bad, that shape them as a person. Gunnar's biggest decision these days is what toy to chew on next....but I look forward to watching him grow. I just wish he wouldn't do it so fast : (

He's sitting up all by himself, he recently added peas to his list of foods, and he's trying really hard to crawl. He's really developing a personality and is so fun to be around....not just a sweet lump o' baby anymore. At each stage, I say "this is my favorite"...so I figure it just keeps getting better and better. We are so blessed.

GO COWBOYS!

It might still be hot outside, but Fall is officially here and the Gray household watches a LOT of football! Having grown up a 49ers fan with an intense dislike for the "All American Team"...most would find it strange that Mark couldn't wait to get Baby Gunnar a Cowboys jersey. Sure, it looks a little like a dress right now...but still so cute!

GO BOYS!
