12 Months::1 YEAR!

Well Grayson, we are here. 12 months old. In some ways I can't believe it, but in other ways it feels as though you have been a part of our family forever. I have really enjoyed taking your monthly pictures and writing down the new things you have done every month. You are growing so fast and learning so many new things that sometimes its hard to keep up. Here is what you've been up to during your last month of being a "baby"...

-you are wearing 12-18 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and size 3 shoes

-you are taking 2 naps a day and sleeping 12+ hours at night 

-you are a full time walker! You took your first steps at 10 months old and there was no stopping you. Y ou love being able to somewhat keep up with your sisters

-you don't talk very much but you still make many sounds

-you LOVE bath tub. We recently moved you out of your ducky tub and into the big bath tub. You love to move your legs back and forth to splash the water and you also love to lay on your belly and play.

-we just transitioned you over to whole milk. NO MORE FORMULA! After 3 years of buying formula, I nearly jumped up and down in Target when I bought the last one!

-you still love your mama! I LOVE that you have always been a mamas boy. I hope it stays that way.

-you love to play with balls. you throw them and roll them everywhere

-you are finally putting yourself to sleep. For the longest time I would have to pat your back and little bit and wait for you to close your eyes but now we can just lay you down and leave the room. 

-you have 4 almost 5 teeth. your 5th tooth has broken through but hasn't made its way down quite yet

-you love your paci and also burp cloths. You like to hold them when you sit with me and you even carry it around sometimes

-you are the sweetest boy ever and everyone always comments on how handsome you are!

-we love you to the moon and back!

G's Mustache Bash

Since Grayson was about 2 months old I had the theme of his party picked out. I knew I wanted to have a mustache bash. I just think its the cutest! I'm sure next year will be all dump trucks and stuff.  I made everything for his party myself except for the smash cake. I just love how everything turned out. Enjoy some pictures from G's first birthday party.

Sunday

Most every Sunday we go to my mom and dads house to visit and play. This past Sunday Grayson wasn't feeling too great so we decided to just hang out at home. It was such a beautiful day so we were able to get outside and play a little while. G even sat outside for a few minutes. I'm sure we won't have too many nice days left so I'm glad we were able to enjoy this one.

G::11 Months!

(Insert big ugly tears here!)

Only one more month until my baby turns 1! I don't know whether to be sad, happy, excited, etc. He is growing up so quickly and it's been so much fun watching him learn so many new things. I am in full birthday party planning mode and I can't wait to celebrate him in a few short weeks!
Here is what G has been up to this past month...

-wearing mostly 12-18 month clothes and size 4 diapers

-taking 2-3 naps a day and sleeping from 7pm-7am

-loves his paci and really loves to hold his burp cloths

-still loves Mickey Mouse and Little Einsteins

-walking!!! well, sort of. He can take many steps now and he prefers to walk wherever he goes. He can take many steps by himself. He can even walk, stop, turn around, and then walk back. I think with a couple of weeks he will be walking everywhere!

-loves to play with balls and is really good at throwing them

-he is still a mamas boy

-takes 3 bottles of formula a day and will start transitioning to regular milk in a couple of weeks

-he is into everything! i don't know if it's the boy in him or not, but he seriously finds a way to get into everything.

-makes the d, m, b, and n sound

-has 4 teeth

-he is the sweetest little boy! his smile lights up his face and its so contagious.
