5 Months

Again time stop going so fast......


Dear Grayson,

Baby boy I think I love you more everyday. You have the best smile and laugh!! You are laughing up a storm. You and I get into laughing fits together that leave me in tears. I love how you are our little shadow. You go everywhere with us. You are 5 months old but wearing 9 month clothing. You have the chunkiest thighs and arm rolls for days but those cheeks are what really melt my heart.

We had a couple doctors visits this month and have gotten your acid reflux under control. Fingers crossed you grow out of it. You started veggies this month and while you shudder at the first few bites you always open your mouth for more. You get cereal twice a day and 6 ounces 4 times a day with veggies and fruit( just started yesterday) around dinner time. You sleep on your tummy now and we have started sleep training. Your doing pretty good but are still up for an hour anywhere between 10 and 12. We are working through it. It's ok we get it your stubborn, but you come by that honestly.

You love to snuggle and Daddy and I never object. You tell the best stories and will talk forever. You recently started chewing at random times and we just think it's the cutest thing. You roll over all the time and chew on your feet. Sitting up and crawling are on the horizon and to be honest we can't wait. Your little personality forms more everyday and you are just a happy fun baby. Your smile melts my heart. You and Daddy still do everything together and you smile from ear to ear when he walks in the door. You hold his hand when he feeds you your bottle. You are loved baby boy, and you have the most amazing family who can't get enough of you. You went camping for the first time this month and you did great.

I'm so proud and happy to be your momma. I can't wait to see the little person you become.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

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 ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
