8 months

Dear Grayson,
Bubba you neeeeeed to stop growing. But on the other hand keep it up we can't wait to see who you will be. Your personality is really shinning through more and more. It's kind and goofy. And let me just say your amazing. You have this look you give when you first see daddy or mommy and my heart in a puddle on the floor. You make my heart grow bigger every day baby boy.

Sleep has been good. There is a night every now and then that you think it's time to wake up at 12:15. We work through it and then your back on track. You sleep from 7:00 to 6:00-7:00. You still sleep with music on from your sleep CD and we are thinking about changing it up a little big to something other than the heart beat.

Eating, well chubba wubba you love food. You eat a full stage 2 container of fruit and a full stage 2 container of a "dinner" every day. You get 2-8oz bottles and 1-6oz. bottle. You also get a yogurt and about 4oz. of water each day. Puffs are quickly becoming part of your after dinner snack. However you do everything you can not to use your hand like pushing them close to the edge of your tray and then "licking" them up. Some would call it lazy but we will go with creative. You dropped a bottle this month and it fa-reaked Momma out but you seem happy and content and your still growing.

9-12 month are still what you wear. I got a comment the other day that I don't dress you like a baby. I think that one day this will work to my advantage when you look back at baby pictures and your not wearing a baby blue jumpsuit with flying elephants and owls holding balloons on it. You will look at me and say "Thanks mom for dressing me like a regular person".

Your teeth came in full force! You have 2 bottom teeth that you don't like to show anyone. If someone asks to see them you become an expert at the stink eye and close your lip tighter than a vault at the casino. However if we don't mention the teeth and can get you to laugh then there they are. Crawling also started. It's really more like the worm and it takes you quite some time to get where you want to go but you still get there. I know with in the next few weeks if not days you will be zipping around the house chasing your fur brother so much he will be begging for a kennel.

You still love to pay with all your toys and books grab your interest quickly although now you like to chew on them all the time. Your jumper is one of your favorites but now you cry sometimes when we put you in it. I think it's because you think we are walking out of the room which you hate but once you realize we are staying you act like a drunk college kid on a trampoline jumping in the air. We allow you to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse once a day and this is the only way we can get out of the room to do things like make your bottle and change the laundry. When we watch it with you your like to snuggle it makes daddy and I both melt because it's such a sweet moment. You pull yourself up on you knees and then yell as loud as you can. Once we look at you, you will sit back down on your bottom and smile. We get it kid you like to be the center of attention.

Grayson Michael we love you more than words can say. You bring us the most joy and we cannot wait to see you grow and learn. I'm proud to be your Momma and to have such an amazing kind hearted lovable little boy!
Love Momma

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
