Happy Thursday!

Just a funny picture of Jackson today as he was playing.

Hope it brightens your day and makes you giggle a little.

First Sleepover

Jackson had his first friend sleepover this weekend. His best bud, Reed, is moving next week (I think I'm more sad than Jackson...he hasn't realized what it means) so we decided we needed to do some special things with the two of them. Reed's mommy & daddy were celebrating their 10th anniversary so we offered to have Reed stay the night with us so they could do something to celebrate. We were planning on taking Jackson to the Rough Riders baseball game so we decided to just take Reed along. They did great. They even went right to bed when we got home (it helped that it was 11pm!). Saturday morning we all woke up, had breakfast, and then headed to the park. The park we went to had a splash area, lots of area to run, and a pond with fish to feed. I think we exhausted them again. All in all it was a good time for both of them. While we'll miss Reed, we hope to be able to see them every so often as they're moving where we already have family...very convenient.

Precious Little Feet

Future Rehearsal Dinner Picture

I don't think there is anything that can be said for this picture. It's actually a HUGE praise...he's completely in big boy underwear! We've conquered potty training....with an occasional accident because he just doesn't want to stop to go potty.

Grayson 6 months old

Grayson turned 6 months last week while I was in New Mexico so I'm just now posting his pictures. I could say it's hard to believe that he's already 6 months old but honestly I can't remember what life was like with only one child. We went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for his check-up.

• He's measuring a little low on weight but right on track with height and above average with head size. Prior to the doctor's visit, he was boycotting anything but the bottle. Since then he's been eating cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas, and even beets. I think he's gained a little weight.
• The doctor was also concerned that he's not putting weight on his legs and not pulling up really well with his arms. We've been working him out at home so hopefully he'll get a good report next time. Poor baby just likes to be held so he's not fond of having to do things on his own.
• Other than that, Grayson is rolling like crazy but only in one direction. He quickly finds himself butted up to the wall or a piece of furniture.
• He's also really enjoying drooling and blowing bubbles. The pictures above show his bubble blowing skills.
• Michael is also proud because he's saying "Da Da". He's already quite the talker...I guess he has to keep up with me & Jackson.
