12 Months!


It's official! We made it through the first year of Greyson's life. Being parents has been one of the most rewarding gifts I've ever had...I feel so blessed to be this little guy's mommy & can't imagine life without him! He has been such a GOOD baby that I think I may be spoiled...I nannied quite a few kids in my college days that weren't so good. That was a big reason it took us 5 years to have our first kid! haha He has his moments...but once he got here, I was amazed at how our lives changed...for the better. Children really are a blessing from God & I am so thankful he saw fit to give us Greyson. 

Greyson
so far you...

*got your first ear infection the week before Christmas...thankfully I got you into the Dr. before she went out of town & picked up an antibiotic. You were a little cranky but did really well in spite of feeling bad
*started whole milk the day before your first birthday! You are officially off formula...have been done with bottles for 2 months & are almost weaned from nursing...it has been a couple days since your last nursing took place & so far you are doing well
*weigh 22.15 lbs & are 30 1/4 inches long. You lost almost a whole pound since your 9 month appointment! You are not so chunky anymore from all that moving you do lately
*wear 18-24 month clothes & still fit into some 12 months if we stretch it a little =)
*eat pretty much everything we give you...at least once. You are getting a little more picky & starting to spit things out that you don't like. SOMEONE introduced you to coffee (without asking first) & a few other things but you seem to really like them! G'pa taught you how to say "ahhhh" after a sip of coffee...it's so cute to hear you say it even when he drinks his
*have a very large vocabulary! You say a dozen or more words in the right context & repeat most things we say. This month you learned, Baby Jesus, Ahhh Ahhh Achoo! & Thank you. Uh-oh is still at the top of your list, but we hear you "sneezing" a lot throughout the day. You also do your "touchdown" pose whenever someone says it to you =)
Touchdown!
*don't really like opening gifts...we found this out over your birthday & Christmas...I'm sure that will change next year! 
*got a new lovey...Mr. Monkey! You sleep with him while Mr. Beary (1 & 2) get their "baths" =)
*love story time & say "book" every time we start our bedtime routine. You got lots of new ones & love opening the flaps or pressing the buttons on your activity books.
*told everyone you were "2" when they asked how old you were...I think counting to 3 before you turned 1, confused you a little =)
*play with all your new toys, but your favorites are your walking/riding toys, your drum, a barn that has a door you can open & close & your big zoo from Nana & Papa

What we are looking forward to:

*Florida trip in February
*hopefully visiting your new baby cousin in July!
