Half a year

I have had this wonderful little man in my life for HALF A YEAR!!!!! I just about die every time I think about it.







Dear Grayson.
Where do I even begin my sweet baby boy. Even at 6 months you are very sensitive. When someone is sad, so are you, when we are happy you have the biggest smile. I know it seems weird to say but you are very in tune with peoples emotions. Just the other day Momma got some sad news and was upset I know you could tell and you reached out and touched my face and gave me the best smile. All my sadness melted away and all was right in my world. You will be a helpful, selfless person when you grow up because you are already like that now. You are fiercely independent and like to play on your mat. However there are times where you just want to cuddle and we soak up those moments like a sponge.
You are also a big boy. We have your 6 month check-up on Monday so I will update with those stats when be get them but I'm guessing your a whomping 20 lbs by now. It's OK we love your chunk and rolls. Speaking of rolls you roll your way around. You are very close to crawling and I'm sure anytime now you will be zooming around. You eat cereal twice and day and veggies and fruit once a day. You get 4-5 bottles a day and you NEVER miss a meal. You started holding your own bottle this month and that may or may not have brought Momma to tears. Your acid reflux is 99% better and you just have small moments of spit up but no more than a teaspoon so we will take it. You are still sleeping through the night 90% of them time but when you do wake up it's usually only one time and you mostly self soothe.
We fear you are teething and that is the reason for the blood curdling screams in the middle of the night. But you always wake up in the morning happy greeting us with smiles and coos. Your in 9 month clothing and are pushing slowly into 12 months. It's all good because you look adorable in everything you wear. You have finally gotten on somewhat of a nap schedule usually we get 2 one hour naps a day and we roll with it when you sleep longer.  You have many nicknames and some of them make no sense but we love it. The list includes: G, Gray, Graycers, Gracerpants, Gracer the racer, G man, Moneybutt, Moneyunderpantsboy (that one is all your daddy), and bubbie lou (that one is all your momma).
Bottom line is baby boy you are loved so so much. Watching you learn and grow makes Momma and Daddy's heart overflow with love. You melt hearts with your nose scrunching smile and the way you wrap your hands around someones neck you can see how much it warms their heart. I know how blessed I am to be your Momma and watch you grow. I love you more than words can say baby boy!
Love Momma




The above picture is what happens when we sing to him he flings his arms around and rocks out!

Yup the dog just walked in the room and he is done looking at Momma for pictures

Don't you just love the blurry arms!!

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 ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
