Well we are done... Grayson turned one and we survived the birthday and the party a few days later with only a few tears shed! I can't believe that he is already one! It seems like just the other day he was so small I was scared that I would break him in 2! Now, my lordy the kid is big! I am NOT complaining He is healthy for the most part for which I am thankful! I love my sweet boy! Well I am "that" mom as I have stated before! I want to make sure that Grayson has EVERYTHING that he could EVER need or want within reason and I am a firm believer of go BIG or GO HOME! With that Grayson went to school on his birthday just so that he could celebrate with his friends, so I took cupcakes for him and the teachers to enjoy... so that was cake #1 for his 1st birthday! That night we went out as a family and had Pappasitos for dinner, and I made a cake for the family to eat (so cake #2) which he REALLY enjoyed! On Thursday I took him for his 1 year pictures, and he had yet ANOTHER cake (#3 cake) and the pictures turned out GREAT! Then we had a small party of Family and Friends on Saturday and had his barn yard cupcake cake (#4 cake). Wal-mart was where I got all the cakes except the ONE that I made and every single on was SO fresh and enjoyable! They didn't have a small cake ready when I needed one for his pictures (me being the bad mommy forgot to order one in advance) and they quickly made a special cake for Grayson that was SO bright and looked GREAT in the pictures! THEN I wanted to the last minute even though I had ALREADY been to wal-mart like 10 times for other things in the week, I waited till late on Friday to order his cake, and of course they were out of the decorations, SO I went ahead and got the cake without decorations and they ended up calling me later in the afternoon and found the little people SO his barn cake was COMPLETE and turned out AWESOME!!!  Well, Grayson is now walking up a storm! Yes his still crawls a lot of places and when he is sleepy he will not walk, but I say in the next few weeks he will be running! He also has been saying Mama... FINALLY!!! I am so tired of hearing Dada... OR Yaya! Then he started to say Dog (more like duh-g), but finally he says Mama! Its about time! But no he still is not talking really! But it will come!

Well we have switched his daycares this week! We are still with the same "daycare" but a different location, and it is the same location that the other two monsters go to SO hopefully my sister and bro-in-law will help mom out a little more with watching Gray for me when I am working! Plus, they are a little more established and I am really excited about how things are going BUT I finally had his other school trained SO I really hope things work out quickly as I really hate to NAG!!!

I know I have mentioned before but Grayson has been diagnosed with asthma... I had it pretty severe as a child and out grew it as an adult or now really have a very MINOR case of it! Well since being diagnosed he has been back and forth on different meds and I just don't know what needs to be done to make him better! Well 2 weeks ago I took him to the pediatrician and he had fluid building up on his lungs! So back to the heavy duty drugs! Well we are now going to go to a specialist (a pediatric pulmonary doctor) and hopefully be put on something a little more stable SO we can hopefully work him off the nebulizer and onto something easier! The doctor we are going to is HIGHLY recommended and I am SO excited to see what they have to say! But we go see that doctor on August 6th... so it is a wait and see!

Well the stats... Grayson is now a toddler at 1 year!

He is 32 inches (75-90%)

weighs 23 lbs (50-75%)

and still has a HUGE head (don't remember the inches but he is still in the 95-99%)

He eats anything and everything in site, plus some

He is still 100 % breast fed only (well breast milk sometimes from a bottle or sippy cup cause of work and daycare)

He is SO happy and I am truly BLESSED!!
