Just got home

Well I just got home from Mommy Night Out... and I had a BLAST! I am a dork I know, But since Grayson was born in July I have been out 2 times without him! Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my little man and would not trade a single second away from him cause I LOVE every second with him, BUT  I also enjoy adult conversation that I am not battling an 8 month old little man over! I mean to be able to eat a meal without Grayson grabbing at my plate or deciding that he is hungry or tired and just enjoy the meal! It was just what the doctor ordered! So THANKS MOM for watching Grayson so I could go out with 3 awesome moms tonight! I know that it was rough on my mom after our week of vacation but I am so glad I went! I was very nervous going into tonight as I had only met 2 of the ladies once before, and well I still find it hard to meet new people! I am not like my sister that can be friends with anyone before I have even met them! I wish I didn't have the fear of people not liking me or believing that everyone hates me... yes I will just go eat worms... wow that brings up my childhood... can you believe I was a dork with no friends growing up... ha ha! But it is true... I have always been one with 2-3 friends at a time... but not true friends... so as I grow up I am trying to change that and grow up and make new friends.... people I am not afraid to talk to! But back to my original thought! I am so glad that I went to MNO because I was able to meet moms like me that have kids that are older than Grayson, but they have been in my shoes before and have really assured me that I am not ruining my child by letting him nurse when he wants, and letting him sleep in bed with me! And I can't wait to get to know these ladies even better over time! I know I can be a bit crazy and I am ok with that I am trying to grow and be a better person, and I am so glad that this group found me! They seem like really great ladies, and I can't wait to get to know all of them even more!

Hope everyone has a great night!

Back from Vacation

The 3 Monsters....

Me and My HANDSOME man!

The boy in the flowers!

The first time in the pool!

The handsome man driving his car!

Well we are back! Camping was SO much fun... but we are SO happy to be home! Grayson was not too big of a fan of sleeping while there... so that meant mom got very little sleep! But we had so much fun... one day we spent at camp and went swimming for the first time! He didn't really know what to do... and ended up passing out in the pool! The next day we went to the Blue Bell Factory to try to take the tour, but the line was a few hours long SO we ended up just watching a video tour while eating ice cream! Blue Bell is the BEST ice cream EVER! Then we went to town and there was not much to do! The town of Brenham is pretty much closed on Wednesdays! So we had passed a few bluebonnet patches on the way so we wanted to get Grayson and the other 2 monsters matching outfits SO we went to the local outlet mall! Then we ended up not getting back to camp till late! The next day we were supposed to get an early start... and at 11 we were leaving the house to go back out and find bluebonnets again! Then Thursday was another lazy day at camp! We tried to go swimming again, BUT the water was TOO cold! So we went back to camp after Grayson pooped all over himself... and took a nap! While he napped I got some re-packing done as we had to head home last night cause there was a chance I had to go back to work today... YUCK to work! Well we stuck around camp and did stuff there and finally got all packed at 9 pm and headed home! We got back home last night at 1030 ish... and Grayson had his first good nights rest all week! Please enjoy the pics!

So Tired

Well we ended up going to the doctor on Saturday after Grayson ran a fever of 103 for 3 days and his ear infection is back! We did not even make it a week without an ear infection! So we go back in 2 weeks for a re-check and if he still has the infection I am requesting a referal to an ENT to see if he can get tubes! I hate to do it cause he is SO young but he has had this silly ear infection since January at his 6 month appointment and he is about to be 8 months! That is 2 months and WAY too long! So I would like to be pro-active and get them before it gets any worse! Plus when he gets the ear infection he really goes ALL out! He runs the crazy high fever and even if I take him the day he starts running the fever his ears are SO inflammed! This last time the doctor said that his ear was so infected it was oozing! GROSS! My son really knows how to go 0-60 in no time!

Well it looks like we are also getting out 3rd tooth! It is not the one I thought it would be! It normally would be one of the top 2 front but it is on top it is just the one on the side! But it still has not fully broken through so we will see which one makes the appearance first!

Well on a side note daycare is going ok! I really like a few things, like being able to work my whole shift without feeling guilty cause my sister needs to do something! BUT there are some things that they just drive me CRAZY over! Like I am a good mom that always has the kid dressed super cute no matter what and he will always match! Well last week on picture day I sent the cutest outfit for them to change him into after breakfast, well what do they put him in... a onesie! No pants just the shirt! I NEVER Ever do that I ALWAYS put him in pants! Especially for pictures! Well the pictures turned out cute but I wish he would have worn what I sent him to be put in! And I have tried to talk to them and I feel like I am talking to a wall! Oh and after I threw my little hissy fit about the onesie this morning I sent 2 outfits in case he had an accident, one was a short and shirt set, the other was a romper, well what do they put him in the shorts and the romper... and they did not even match! Can you say my son looked like the BIGGEST Dork EVER! I mean a romper is an outfit in it self! Oh I just don't know what to do with them! They drive me nuts!

Well only 3 days till our vacation starts! Yea we are so ready!

Crawling around

Well I finally got it on video of him on the move! I have been trying to do it for a while but every time I think about it my camera is dead or he stops moving! I hope yall enjoy! This was taken today at the Little Gym! It was so much fun! They had an open house to show the place off and I can't wait till he is a few months older so that we can try out a class on Saturdays! I wish I was a stay at home mom so I could do one now with him but that is not in the cards so I will wait till he is 10 months old and we will do the Saturday class! Grayson is getting so big I can't believe it!

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!!!
