Another Gray Moment...

Is this not the biggest cheese you have ever seen?

More updates: Graysen now blows kisses, and gives lots of big, sloppy ones!

New Words

Graysen's newest word, besides 'ball', is 'bye-bye'. He says it more like "dye-dye" but either way it is super cute. Here is a video of his newest favorite, talking on the phone.

Teaching and Learning

Avery teaches Graysen all sorts of new things every day, GOOD and BAD. She is his biggest encourager, and my prayer for them is that as they grow she will always want to teach him new things, show him the world, and encourage him in new adventures. They are so blessed to have each other and I pray they grow to be the best of friends.

Avery LOVES to color, she spends a good portion of each day coloring and drawing. She loves it so much, that yesterday, she decided it was time for Graysen to learn.

I'd say he did pretty well for his first try!

Peek-A-Boo

To say that Avery and Graysen have SO much fun together is an understatement. I never would have imagined it to be this fun! With Aves going to preschool two days a week, Gray has been a little lost, but it is so cute because when she comes home, he is attached for the next two hours! Now, yes, we have our moments of "he's touching me" and "that's mine" but at the end of the day, the smiles and peek-a-boos are so totally worth it!

Graysen updates: He said ball on Sunday and got two more teeth today!

GrAySeN is TeN MoNtHs!

I'm not sure how, but it has happened all too quickly, Graysen is ten months already. I just wish he could stay this age and size just a little bit longer, he is at such a sweet stage. He has so much personality and he is getting quite the sense of humor. People are right, with your second baby, things seem to go by much faster!

I can hardly get him to sit still long enough for a picture so he has graduated to the rocking chair. And poor Aardvark, with Gray chewing on him like he has been he might not make it two more months!

Ave's First Day of Preschool!

It hardly seems possible, but true it is, Avery started preschool yesterday morning. I thought maybe she'd be a little sad, NO, she was not... but I was. However, I did keep it together as she hung up her backpack and walked in and sat down so confidently. She did awesome and had so much fun... which was apparent by the paint all over her clothes and the sand in every pocket of her pants! (Lesson learned, preschool is not the place to make a fashion statement.)

It was so nice to have some time with just Graysen. But when she got home he didn't leave her side for the next two hours. He was a little lonely without her here.
