First Hair Cut!

Well I have been getting pretty fed up with Grayson's hair the last few weeks and the last time I went and got his pictures done it was pretty crazy so I decided not to wait till he was a year like I had planned and I went to get his hair cut! He was such a big boy! He sat in the little car and got his hair cut like a little boy! He looks great and like a little man! He no longer has his little professor comb over which is kinda nice, but he looks so much older now! The lady that cut his hair really didn't know what to do with his hair! He has a head full of cow-licks and they are pretty bad, but the worst part is the one that he has in the front of his head! Which is the main reason that he had the comb over! Well he now has the little boy spike hair-cut and looks so handsome!

He is changing daily and I LOVE IT!!! He is moving so much more now and is into everything! He is getting more of a personality and is showing his attitude! He is my spoiled rotten child but I made him that way and would NEVER CHANGE him!

Moving and Shaking!!!

Well it looks like I have a mover and a shaker now! Over the past few weeks he has been working he way around in circles and trying to "army man" around the blanket, but I thought it would still be a little while before he would go a distance! Well Friday work was slow so I was being "Stalker Mommy" on Grayson's school's web-site to see what he was up to and to my shock my big boy was actually taking his first crawl across the mat! So even though I was not there, I was able to witness it via the internet! So even though I wanted to drop my work and cry and leave to go see him do it again, I was able to stay at work and wait till the end of the day and just watch he via the internet till the end of my VERY long day! Well yesterday he did not get much moving time and didn't really show his stuff, we were running errands and went to see a movie with Noonie so  I thought maybe I had not really seen him crawl! Well today he showed his stuff! I was in the kitchen finally making his baby food while he played with his new penguin in the living room, and as I turn around I thought the puppy was under my feet and saw a little boy looking up at me and trying to climb up my leg! I was so shocked! I can't believe he is moving so much now! It is so funny to watch! He still doesn't do the classic crawl, it is still army like, but it is awesome and he can really boogie! Now he is not happy being still he wants to move! 

I can't believe that only a few months ago he was so content watching people now he is the center of attention and moving so much!

Today Grayson Is 7 Months Old!!!

Grayson Playing at Play Group! 

Grayson passed out! This was after a VERY Rough night! 

This is One of Grayson's Battle Wounds from school! This is where he got bit!

I Tried to take pictures of his 2 teeth! He really likes to stick his tongue out instead of showing them off! Makes it hard to take a picture!

Another picture of Grayson Passed out! He was borrowing my niece's pink blanket! He must have been thinking VeRY hard!

Well Grayson turned 7 months old today! Wow how time flies! I can't believe that he is 7 months already! It seems like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital! He is getting so big and doing so much! SO many miles stones have been met and everyday I swear he does something new!

Grayson is now able to go from sitting to the crawling position! He is not quite into crawling yet... thankfully! But he has started to creep! He travels in circles! It is hilarious! I love it! He goes from sitting to flops forward, then he lunges forward to get his feet from under him and then he starts to make circles! It is great and so funny to watch! But he has really started to try to get around! He is pulling up on things which I really am not ready for! I miss my little I have to do everything for little man! 

Well this week was also crazy in that it was his second week of day care! I am so glad I had it but with it being his second week of day care he came home with 2 "boo-boo" reports! It is when a child gets hurt at daycare! First at the beginning of the week before I even went into the class I had to sign that he got a bite on his arm! I was ok till I saw his arm and still 4 days later there is still a bruise from the teeth marks! Makes me feel so bad! But he was my big boy and took it like a man! Then friday when I went to go pick him up from daycare one of the teachers accidently pinched his skin with  his paci clip! Made me feel horrible but he cried it out then he was all smiles as we were walking out! Such a big boy!

Well today we had a play date with my mommy group! We had a lot of fun! It is so nice to get together with a group of women that I can talk baby to and they are in the same boat as our babies are just a few weeks apart! And to see how big all the babies have got! Now they are all in a range of 2 months and all about the same size! Yea mine is the youngest but he is the same size as the 9 month old baby! Like I said he is my big boy!

Well all is well in mommy world! Work sucks but at least I have a job! Looks like my new hours begin after my vacation! Oh I am SO ready for vacation! Only another month! Then we are ALL going camping! Yea for family fun!

Well here are some new pics just to show what is going on with Grayson now! ENJOY!!!

Well

Well I decided to bite the bullet and do my blog ready for St. Patty's Day which is March 17th... Remember to wear green!!! And I was going to do for Valentines Day but I knew I would forget after the event!

Well Grayson went back to the Dr today, which I was excited that he already had an appointment today cause last night we were up ALL night crying! It was horrible! I tried all the tricks then I just laid him in bed next to me put pillows around him and he would eventually cry himself to sleep only to wake up about 30 mins later and cry for another hour! I don't know if it is his top teeth or what! But it is driving me nuts! If we have another night like that tonight I won't be able to function at work tomorrow! Luckily today after his appointment I dropped him off at daycare and I got to take a nap! I am about to leave and go do grocery shopping and pick up his new meds then pick up the little man! I hated to drop him off at daycare but one he needs to get used to the crazy place and two I NEEDED a nap after last night!

Ok the doctor's appointment went well! Thankfully they are now back in their office, it was damaged during "IKE" and they just now have it all fixed up nice, and the office was is need before Ike... but now it looks like a new office! Well when we get there the weigh him in he is a whopping 20 lbs and was flirting with all the nurses and trying to steal the thermometer, he is all about all electronics now! We got into the room and I got to ask my hand full of questions... is this normal....ha ha ha! Well he was back there for a re-check on his ears from 2 weeks ago, his left one was looking good, but the right one was still red so he is back on antibiotics! Fun, fun! Dr. T thinks it is just from all the drainage but before it turns back into the gross infection he had last time he wanted to put him back on meds! The rash he broke out in a week ago is a viral or histamine rash that kids get after or during a cold and is just a way to let the infection out and was perfectly normal and it will heal on its own! And the crying all night long last night was just prob a mix of the drainage and his ear prob and lets hope it doesn't happen again!

Well during the appointment Gray decided to show off how much he loves to move and almost crawled off the side of the exam table! He really has impressed the Dr and me too! He is so active and his personality oh my goodness he is his mothers child! There is no denying that fact unless he is eating and he eats crazy stuff!

Well Food! We have really started solids now! He has had bananas (not that big of a fan) but will eat them pretty well, s quash likes it ok, peas ( HE LOVES) and sweet potatos (ate the whole jar before I could even really think about it! So he is well on his way to eating like a big boy! Also he LOVES apples! We went to Jason's Deli on Saturday with my mom for lunch while running the streets and they have apples on the salad bar, they are cold so I thought I would give him one to see what would happen he attacked it! It was GREAT! I wish I had my camera! But I left it at home!!! Well after he nawed on 3 and they feel to the ground I held one and ran it over his teeth and he thought that was the greatest thing ever! Me, my hands were covered in spit, but he enjoyed and that is all that matters!

I will try to post some new pics later! I lost the usb cable for my camera! But I am looking today while I try to clean! FUN FUN!!!

First Day Of Daycare!!!

Well today was Gray's first day of daycare! And we both made it to the end of the day! I have to explain the day! I don't work on Mondays for now so to get him into the swing of class I went to drop him off for a few hours today! It went pretty smooth! One of the reasons I choose my daycare is because it has the camera system, so I was able to watch him and see when they put him down for a nap, but I also watched him cry and no one go to him! I know he will live even if he cries and it is good for him to cry some, but well I try my hardest to not let him cry! I know bad momma cause he needs to cry BUT Well he is my little man and I hate to have him cry! Well after 4 hours I went and picked him up and he was all in one piece and still all smiles same as always! Just to prove that he was happy there the whole time! The other nice part of the school is that one of my co-workers that had a little one 2 weeks before me her little girl is in the same class so we are able to lean on one another and watch out for the others babies when we drop off our little ones! SO that makes it a little nicer!

So after his first day of daycare he only took 3 naps all day that were all about 20 mins long and he really has not slept well all day so I am hoping he will be so tired that he will sleep great tonight! Especially since he had a rough night last night! 

Oh how I miss sleep! Maybe when he is 20 and all grown up I will get to sleep again... prob not!

 Oh well! I am getting used to very little sleep!

Just today

Well I have to admit I LOVE being a mom! When I am having a hard and horrible day at work and ready to walk up to my boss and say "I QUIT!!!!" I am lucky to have pics of my beautiful baby to remind me why I am there every day even though I wish I wasn't! I have to say that before I was a mom I did not have this sanity person but Grayson is such an amazing kid even though he doesn't sleep all night and I am about to go crazy if I don't get at least 4 hours tonight I am still LOVE him! I mean when he cries I hate it! But then he gives this full on gummy smile that just melts my heart!

Well here are some new pics of Mr Man that I took tonight! He was being a silly boy like always! But looking so darn cute I had to snap a few pics!

The Week of Firsts!!!

Well this has been a power packed week for me and Mr. Man! To begin our fun filled week we had our 6 month check-up and shots which are always fun and always make the little Mr run a fever and unhappy but he normally gets over it quickly! Well this week I worked a grand total of 6 hours on Friday after taking the rest of the week off to tend to him! And we had 3 Dr visits in 5 days! To begin after Gray's shots that afternoon he spiked a temp of 103 which was not fun and I didn't know if he was getting the cold the rest of the family had OR if it was from the shots. SO on Tuesday I decided to take off cause we were up off and on all night I was beginning not to feel so hot and if he did have the cold I didn't want him to pass it back to the kids since they were still sick! Well his fever never broke so on Thursday we end up going back to the Pedi and saw a new one since mine was not in and they said he had a virus but his ears and chest were clear, and to bring him back Saturday if he still had a fever, but they put him on some cold meds. Well, Thursday he was up SCREAMING ALL night long off and on every hour he would scream for prob 45 mins! So that was a fun night and since I was off all week I needed to go back to work! I still have not re-built my PTO bank from maternity leave... FUN... so I needed to work! Well Serah texts me at 12pm she lets me know that Gray had been crying and screaming since I left at 6am to go to work! SO I call the pedi cause I knew I was not meant to come back till Saturday but he had a new aliment SO back to the pedi we rush! Luckily my bosses were understandable OR they said so we shall see if I get a write up on Tuesday! But we get to the pedi go! So in 24hrs he is re-checked by the same pedi and now he has a raging double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection! The dr said ears can turn fast so we are now on antibiotics! Well as I wait for the antibiotics at the pharmacy Gray starts to chew on my fingers and what do I feel... A little tooth! 

So this week he had his 6 month shots, ear infection with URI, And got his first tooth! Yay for things coming in 3's!!!! Ha ha!
