Popcorn and puzzles whats better???????

A few from last night... Popcorn with daddy.. Who says you cant give toddlers popcorn? I read that somewhere in a some book.. :) He likes his popcorn from the bag. Doesnt care much for it unless you let him get it out for himself. I love the first one of his face and mouth full of popcorn.. its totally cute :)







Long time post due.. Greyson is cute as always. He has started talking up a storm and loves to talk on the pretend cellphone. Either the fake nemo one we bought him or ours which we have to lock otherwise he calls China. Even still its cute. He has started so many words and at times im amazed at what comes out of his mouth. His latest favorite is yep you guessed it NO ! He says it plan as day. Its cute but wont be in another few months.

He likes to "do" his puzzle as you can see from the pic below. I love the look on his face as if he is concentrating really hard. Look at the one 2nd down. His tongue is sticking out..lol

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!!!

Greyson and daddy :)







We have been going like the energizer bunny the last few weeks. We made a trip down to Hutchinson so Greyson got to see his dads' side of the family. He did great and was okay with everything including the 3.5 hour drive down. We went to his cousins soccer games on Saturday morning. I didnt take the camera down with us! So we have no photos..

Saturday we went to the Renaissance festival of Kansas City. Greyson seemed to have a good time but got wore out from skipping a nap the day before and of course we were out the next day but as you will see below he conked out in the stroller for about 45minutes.






Greyson rode an elephant!! There is a first time for everything I guess and Seth thought it would be fun to have Greyson ride an elephant.. Mind you it cost 8 freaking dollars for an elephant to take him and G around 4 trees but hey its an elephant ride :) Im not sure how he did when they first started walking because I couldn't see his face but on the last leg of the short short walk he was scared...lol it was kinda cute and funny.

He also got to go inside a little place to pet and feed goats and such he wasnt really that interested in the animals more of walking around! We got a cone of food to feed them and he still didnt care to much. But it was a place for him to run around after being in a stroller for most of the day.
Then today we went to a birthday party for a friend of ours.. here are some pictures from that also. I tried feeding Greyson some birthday cake with no luck, he reached for animal crackers and I thought okay thats kinda weird. Well I just had the cake sittting there on the plate and Seth wanted it and cut off a piece (he was sitting closer to G) and Greyson reached out and grabbed it, then precided to eat the whole piece of cake but apparently he wanted to feed it to himself. He got to go outside and play in a ball pit and looked like surfer boy at one point!





As you can see we have been very very very very busy and running almost non-stop the last few weeks so this week im hoping to stay in as much as I can without losing it.. after a few days we have to get out because by then both of us need some fresh air

The Monkey Thing

Remember that monkey thing I talked about in our last post? Well here are some more pics.. If you say to him Greyson where is George? He will walk over and pick up this George no matter where he is. And if you say to him Greyson where is Monkey? He will get the sock monkey :) Its the cutest thing!!!! Still cant figure out what his lovey is though.. guess in time we will know

And Im Behind.......

I meant to update last weekend and forgot. So im behind a post as I wanted to update this blog weekly. So from here on out ill make sure to update it weekly :)

A series of smiles and laughs......




































Lovey's:
We have wondered what would turn out to be Greyson's Lovey.. we have tried giving him a few different things hoping it would be his lovey as we bought 2 or sometimes 3.. to no avail. He never seemed to catch onto anything. For months and I do mean months now I have put this Curious George in pajamas in his crib, with a blankie from Old Navy and now if you ask him if he wants to go shushie (shush e what we call going to bed) he will go and get his old navy blankie from his crib if he can reach it..

But while we were in KY on our vacation Seth found a sock monkey and we have a monkey thing in this house so we got it and started giving it to him in his crib also. Well he cuddles the sock monkey now.. here is a picture..so im wondering still which is his lovey or if its all of them?


















And last but not least.. a new skill
Taking his diaper and putting it in the trash.. I have been very very very lazy using my cloth so we have been using disposables lately and for some reason Yesterday morning Seth got up with him, changed his diaper like we always do first thing and Greyson grabbed the diaper and took it right to the trash can! He has never done this before nor have we ever told him to do this.. Did it all day yesterday and then did it this morning with me when I got him up and changed him. I thought yesterday was a fluke but nope did it this morning also. So Greyson knows to take this diaper and put it in the trash :)

He has learned to do Eskimo kisses!!!! Its the cutest thing.. I give them to him and he started giving them to the dog :) Its so so freaking cute. Has yet to do them to either me or Seth but its cute he gives them to the dog.

He still has not learned to use his ride on toy. He can go backwards but not forwards. but he thinks he is hot stuff when he goes backwards. It's funny to watch him do new stuff as he gets this look of hey look at me im a big boy on his face each time. He is proud of him self.

And a short photo shoot

As always click on them to make them larger.


What can I say my child is cute and photogenic. So I am compelled a lot to snap random pictures of him doing whatever. lately this has been easier said than done as I think me taking his picture daily for the last 13 months (haven't been so good this last month) has made him run in the other direction when he sees the camera. Literally. So its been hard to take photos of him without taking 15 of his back to get one good front picture. But here are a few that I took just about 15 minutes ago..

One of his newly found obessions is taking the top of the maalox bottle. Yes its empty :) He loves to un-screw the top.. then the last 2 days he has had an obsession with moving things from one place to another and doing it at least 200 times before he gets done with it. This can be anything. At one point yesterday it was cars.. he would line them up, pack them one at a time to mine or Seth's hand, then take them back one and at time to the table. Then it turned into this barn with farm animals but again he placed them from the barn to my hand, then back to the barn. Not sure what he is learning but im sure its something..



Oh and he is starting to walk down the step instead of going down it belly first. He uses the dog food container to help him walk down. Otherwise he uses our hand, but lately has started reaching out and grabbing hold of the door.

Just in case any of you have wondered.......

What Greysons room or even or house looks like here are a few pictures.. Nothing fancy because well there is just no space. Everything has to be practical or it cant be in here. Well if only I stuck to that rule :)

The first is the outside of our RV. The rest are of the small area in the RV we have deemed Greyson's bedroom. As you can see there it not much to it.. just a crib and some storage.. The three baskets on the bottom are toy storage, the drawers hold his clothes, and the cube is for books and small toys. There are A LOT more toys in various places around the house... ill post another blog post on that later on. Because they are beginning to take over the whole place.


So in case you guys were curious there are some samples of the place we call home. 1`

Some more pictures!

For some reason I didnt take any pictures myself of Greyson while we were on vacation. So I am waiting to get my copies of all the ones my family took. I did record a video and ill try to upload it in the next few days if I can figure how :)

Here are a few pictures of Greyson that I have taken in the last few days. If you look really close in the first one you can see his bottom molar teeth. Im not sure if his teeth have been making him cranky or what but the last 2 days he has not been a nice camper while on outings. The second picture is him not very happy because I was on the cell phone with my friend Nicole and he wanted the phone to play with. He LOVES playing with our cell phones.

Our trip to KY went smoother than I thought it would. Greyson did better with everyone than I expected because other than the few times he has gotten to see his Nona and Pa and the people we have seen at playgroup he is not around people. I expected him to be shy and not want to be around anyone. He was like this for about 10mintues at everyone's house then he just went about doing whatever.

I was happy to see him getting along with everyone and I think with the exception of Shane (my brother in law) everyone got to hold him at least a few minutes. I cant remember if Shane did or not... hmm if they read this I guess they will tell me :) He enjoyed being around everyone.

Today we celebrated Zach's birthday. We got him his mini cake, lite his candles and Greyson, Seth and I blew them out. Then me and Greyson ate birthday cake for Zach. Greyson of course kept coming back for more and i had to stop feeding it to him as he was getting ready to go to bed.

Not much else is going on at our house or with Greyson. He is still amazing us everyday with all the things he can do. Oh I almost forgot yesterday he did drink out of a straw for the very first time. Of course it was something worth working at.... his dads chocolate milkshake :)
