I see other newborns, and I can't believe Graysen was EVER that small!!  He's growing so fast... and his personality shows through more and more every day!!

Today:







 At 6 months old, Graysen can roll, hold his on bottle and sippy cup, talks like CRAZY, receives kisses, walks in his walker, attempting to crawl (just scoots right now), is now onto 1st and 2nd baby foods, moves constantly (he's never in the same place for more than 30 seconds)... I'm afraid he'll be a climber too... sings along to music (it sounds like yelling), and is starting to make letter sounds... like d's, n's and l's so far.... ending with the ah's... dah, nah, and lah... Haha!  I love it... there is probably so much more I could go into detail about... but I'll keep it short and sweet!

Yesterday, for the first time, Graysen grabbed my face and brought it to his mouth... a big open mouth kiss to the cheek... and what made it even cuter is he held it there for a few seconds.  I was beyond happy, and I could have held him in my arms for the rest of the day...  It literally gave me butterflies and a huge boost to my mommy ego... He loves Mommy as much as Mommy loves him!

Things we are working on...

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. Lol.... CRAWLING, we help him by lifting him slightly so that he can put his legs and arms underneath him, and then moving forward slowly... Incorporating MEATS to his baby food, SIGN LANGUAGE for things like bottle, water, and more.

Its so hard not express how proud I am without sounding overly proud...  I love my family so so so much, and have so much to praise and thank God for.  I'm blessed with an amazing husband and father to our child, and with an equally as amazing baby boy!!  My life is nothing short of amazing, and I've got everything to look forward to and nothing holding me back!





Hands always in our mouth.

Graysen's Easter Bunny

























Fun with Our Boys

Lindsey Hughes Bromley... Amazing wife, mommy, and friend!!!  And I am SO blessed that we are family... But even if we weren't, I'd deifnitely go out of my way to be her friend. 

She and her boys came to see Graysen and me this Monday... and we attempted pictures!!  Her oldest, 2 yr old Dreyton is full of life, energy, and curiosity...  So it was almost impossible to get a picture of him, but we did it! Lol... Love this kid!!!  This one definitely keeps his Mommy on her toes!

And Mr Photogenic goes to her other son, Ryker!!!  He is Graysen's age, just a couple of weeks younger.  I loved taking pictures of Ryker...  he was so happy, and perfect in any pose or place we put him!  His awesome red hair, and peircing blue eyes made working with the photos so much more fun! 

Talks and moves as much as Graysen... I love that our boys will grow up together.  As friends and cousins.  When they were visiting, Dreyton was so so so sweet, kissing the babies on the foreheads, and rubbing there hands.  He loves his baby brother... and makes me happy to see him lovin on Graysen too.  He's gonna be an amazing big brother for Ryker!  I hope Graysen will be just as amazing with his younger future sibling(s).

And finally Graysen... As photogenic as he normally is, and as excited as I was to take some pictures of him, he didn't cooperate quite like I had planned! Lol...  We got a couple of good ones for our Easter cards, so its ok!!  I was just reminded as to how unpredictable babies can be. :)  His 6 month appt is Friday, so I plan to post about his milestones and accomplishmetns soon after, and we have scheduled our first family pictures in May... So I am super super excited about that!!! 

I love being able to hangout with Lindsey, cause is such an amazing person!!  Every visit makes me wish we lived so much closer!!!!  She's really been a big influence on me as a mom.... I admire her passion, commitement, and dedication to her husband and boys... and hope that I can be the same for mine!!  Love you Lindsey!!!!
