Grayson Lewis

Thought it would be good to update you on the youngest missionary in our family, Grayson.

• He turned 6 months on August 2nd
• He's been eating solid foods for about two weeks now - rice cereal, bananas, avocados & pears. Bananas seem to be his favorite!
• He's just started sitting up on his own (mostly) about a week ago; seems determined to start crawling soon.
• He is incredibly active - is almost never content to sit still. He's very curious, always looking around and checking out his surroundings. Look out when he starts crawling!
• He is sleeping GREAT. Will usually fall asleep around 7:30pm without too much fuss, and typically sleeps straight through until about 7am...with the occasional wake-up around 4. Much much nicer than every two hours! And it seems as though he's starting to get a nap time routine too.
• He got to play in a pool for the first time at Joshua House's Breathe Festival...and LOVED it!
  
• He just had his very last check-up with an American pediatrician on Monday. Next scheduled visit is in Amsterdam!

Well there ya go. A snapshot of our little guy's development. It is amazing how each stage seems to have been our "favorite." God surprises us every day with a new and increased capacity to love Grayson. Please continue to pray for him that he will continue to develop well, that he will take this major transition of moving to a completely different time zone in stride, and that he would early in his life respond to the love and grace of Jesus.
