After 8.5 months, Grayson finally got a chance to meet his family in Indiana. We drove in on Thursday and returned Sunday. On the way there Grayson only cried for about 20 minutes out of 9 hours! He's a real trooper. Once we arrived, though, Grayson didn't seem to be himself. He ended up with a high fever which landed us in an urgent care on Saturday. He was again diagnosed with a double ear infection and the doctor there confirmed that his chest infection was still lingering. They gave him an antibiotic shot while we were there and he's on more antibiotics again now. He seems to be feeling better - the fever is gone, but he still has a little bit of a cough. Despite the sickness, he seemed to enjoy meeting everyone. And even with the ear infection he didn't cry AT ALL on the 9 hour drive home - of course we did resort to singing lots of songs, but we had fun!
He finally got to meet his Indiana cousins!
He was awfully interested in Uncle Ron's beverage.
And he loved his first dip in a pool! He ended up falling asleep on his Daddy for about an hour while he was in the pool! He got to meet his whole family at Aunt Joyce and Uncle John's pool. 
We're going to have to get him one of these floats!
He also got to meet and play with his Great Grandma Rawlings. Those two could have played together all day! Grayson especially had fun "talking" to his Great Grandma Rawlings.
All that play wore him out so he also got to enjoy a bottle with Great Grandma.
Then he got to meet Aunt Linda and play with toys at her house.
And he loved Aunt Linda's big bay window. They got to watch squirrels together.
And last but not least he got to meet his Mimi. He and Mimi enjoyed lots of lap time together.
At the end of the trip Grayson even helped Daddy deflate the air mattress!
