We are on vacation!

I had been meaning to write on G's blog that we would be on vacation until the 30th of August. Right now we are in Kentucky visiting my family. I hope to be able to post some new pictures of Greyson when we return home. For now ill just tell you some things that have been going on with G.

He is getting all four of his one year molars (teeth). The bottom two and for sure left top right are pretty well out. Its like Fort Knox getting him to open his mouth to give me a look at the other top one right now so im guessing it has at least made it all the way through the skin by now. Some how he has pretty much been okay with it,with only a few crying spells. Nothing that Tylenol hasnt been able to help thankfully.

He actually has been doing quite a few new things! He is changing and learning so much from day to day its quite interesting to watch.

He loves it when his daddy reads him books. And his latest favorite is Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton. While Seth reads this book to him he slaps his leg and now as he is getting this book read to him he slaps his little leg. Hopefully someday soon we can get him to do it on video and ill upload it. Tonight he sat on the floor by himself and was babbling holding this book and was slapping his leg :) It was like he was reading it to himself.

He has also started giving kisses! Its so darn cute. He will just walk up and kiss you somewhere. Sometimes its your arm, leg, or even the top of your foot and he loves to kiss Sebastian (dog). He calls him dog dog and has been saying it a few times while we have been out of town. I think he misses the dog.

and last but not least he has started to sing or mimic you singing basically. Its so cute when he does this.. you can sing a song and he will go gaa gaa gaaa in the same rhythm that you are singing in. Seth got to see/hear him do this a few days ago and now anytime one of us sings he will sing also.

This is all I can think of right now!

Look who turned ONE

These are some pictures that we had taken of Greyson by a fantastic lady here in KC. You can visit her website here www.candischastain.com to see more about her or her work.

But here are a few of G's photos! I hope everyone loves them as much as we do. I love how they came out. There are 40 pictures total but I of course can not upload every single one of them. So these are a few of my favs. Enjoy :)

Greysons first haircut!!!!

Well the time had finally come that we could no longer pretend we were hippies. Our child had started to look like a long hair hippy boy :) So for two weeks now I have been saying we need to take G to get his hair cut. Of course I wanted to take him to some special shop with cool little cars and such for him to sit upon thinking it would make the task a little easier.

Seth on the other hand thought the local Wal-mart would suffice. So im sure you can guess who won out.

Nope not me. We went to the local Wal-mart. The girl didnt do a bad job im happy to say. She did cut a little more off than I would have liked but I guess in the end it really is just hair and it will grow back. I was hoping for less of a "big" boy haircut to hold onto some of the babyness if that is a word.

G did rather well. There was no crying on his part and thank god for cheerios and puffs! As they kept him busy worrying about sticking them in his mouth instead of what was happening on his head :) So it went off without a hitch.

He does however look like a big boy to me now which makes me kinda sad. The haircut is cute none the less.


Here are some before pics:



And the big boy after:

Welcome to our blog!

I decided to start this blog so that everyone can just come here instead of having to go and log in just to see pictures of Greyson. I thought this way you can read as well as see what is going on with all of us. Expect to see quite a few posts in the next day or two so keep checking back as im going to try to "catch" up with all the happenings at our house and with Greyson.
