Tired But Still Having Fun

We got Grayson this bouncer about a month ago. At first he wasn't so into it but now he will stay in there for a while. I'm not even kidding he was in there for almost an hour today, I tried to take him out but he would start crying.

This was him when I first put him in, jumping around having fun.

This was him about 45 minutes in, laying his head down but still bouncing.

Aww...and he feel asleep as I was writing this post.

Poor Kid

So the last two days we have been in Coffeyville Kansas and Grayson has not been taking his naps. He will cry and scream, fall asleep for about 30-45min and get up again. I feel so bad because I can tell that he is so tired but just wont sleep. I just took this picture and he has been asleep for 2 1/2 hours already!

He looks so peaceful and I'm glad he is sleeping!

...And He Is Over!

So this was Grayson two days ago.

And this was today.

Memorial Day Weekend

With the 3 day weekend we took the opportunity to drive down to San Antonio. Saturday we got up early and headed over to Seaworld. We were kind of nervous about how Grayson would act but he did as good as we could of asked. The day was good, the weather held out on us for a while but because it did start raining we were able to get two free tickets to come back. YAY!

Here we are with a baby python(it looks like Grayson was trying to reach out and touch it)
I didn't get to watch much of the Shamu show, it was too loud for Grayson. But Kevin managed to get a few good pictures.

On Monday we went over to see The Alamo and walk The River Walk.

I think we were both a little disappointed here, there is really nothing left of the original, a few walls and what you see behind us(the chapel).

We thought the River Walk was really neat. For those that don't know what it is it's shops and restaurants right off the river. It had just a great atmosphere and fun entertainment.

Over all we had a great weekend. And are excited to go back when Grayson is older and use our tickets to Seaworld.

He Thinks Mom Is So Funny...

Today while I was changing Grayson's diaper I starting making this noise at his and this was the result.

He was also laughing at me the other day at church when I was singing the closing song to him. I know I'm not a great singer but he didn't have to laugh at me. :)

Game Time

Last night the Mariners were in town playing the Ranger so we thought we would catch a game from the 3 game series. Grayson slept on the way there so we thought he would be fine. We got his out of the car put him in his carrier and made out way to the stadium. He was doing just fine but the second we walked into the stadium he started crying and really didn't stop until the 8th inning. So what we thought would be a fun time watching a game turned into...i dunno. Even though he was crying it was still nice to get out and do something.

Home Sweet Home

So I found this awesome blog of Seattle. Everyday she posts a new picture of the sights. She has taken so many great pictures, here is one of them.

Rice Cereal

The other day we gave Grayson rice cereal for the first time. At first he would make a funny face liked he didn't like it but then when he had ate it all would start crying because he wanted more.

4 Months

Yay he is getting taller! Grayson has always grown but mostly in his weight and head circumference. Since is last check up he grew 2 inches, he finally into the 50th percentile for height.

His 4 month stats:

Height: 25in(54%)
Weight: 17lb 8oz(90%)
Head: 43in(70%)

He is just our little chunk!

Trip Home

Kevin had a conference in Seattle this past week so Grayson and I tagged along. The week was full of fun, maybe not as much for Kevin(he had to work and was very busy). Saturday we flew in around 11 had family pictures at 1 and than a Mariners game at 6. The day was non-stop!

(I forgot to take my camera to the game so this is from my phone, but this is Kevin and Grayson at Grayson's first M's game::Grayson is under his red hood, he slept the whole time::)

The rest of the week was more relaxed. Went with my sister and her friend to get pedicures, shopping, and went to a couple of my brothers baseball games. On Thursday my grandparents drove up from Utah for the weekend to meet Grayson. While they were there we went into Seattle and walked around the piers.
(We stopped to eat at Ivar's and shared out fries with the Seagulls.)

Over all it was a great trip, got to spend some time with family and catch up with old friends.

What A Goober!

Lately this is how I have found Grayson after his naps. Some how he manages to grab and pull down the blanket over his face. What a funny kid! We love him!

Teachable Moments

I couldn't help but post this picture. As President Monson stood to speak Kevin turned to Grayson and explained to him that he is the prophet, he teaches us things and talks with Jesus. It brought a tear to my eyes when Kevin and Grayson sat there watching conference together.

A Few New Ones

It's been awhile since I've posted a picture so I thought I'd share some from the last couple weeks.

Grayson is jut like his dad, he sat here for almost an hour watching the NCAA tournament. He was so content just sitting there with dad. And look how serious he is.

This just makes us laugh. He stares at his little toy like this all the time.

Love this one! What a cute little smile!

Nursery!

With Gryason being almost 3 months old I'm finally getting close to finishing the nursery. I had plans of getting it done before we had him but the last couple months of pregnancy was harder than I thought it would be. I was huge and getting around just wasn't happening very well. One thing I was able to do thought was surf the internet for his bedding. I looked and looked and looked and finally settled on one that i liked. So I get it, made his crib up with it and had it for a couple months. But as I looked at it more and now had Grayson, it just didn't seem to fit him. So I went on the search again for bedding. I found one the was cheaper and was a 10 piece in stead of just a 4 piece. I love the new one! So for the last couple weeks I've been gathering things for his nursery. This is what I have so far.

(the rocker will replace the chair when we move him out of our room)

So this wall I'm not sure what to do with. On the small one next to the window I'm going to get some canvas and do his feet and hand prints.

Any suggestions?

What Next...

For a couple months now are faucet in our shower has been dripping a little, and lately we've noticed it getting worse by the day. On Thursday after my shower I went to turn the water off and the water didn't turn off. The knob turned off but the water just kept flowing as if the water was turned on all the way. Great, just what we need a plumbing issue that's going to cost way too much to get fixed! But much to are luck we have a great family around the corner from our ward that was able to help us out. (Thanks for letting us steal your husband on a Friday night!) After a couples hours and an $9 trip to Home Depot the problem was fixed!

So after getting the fixed, I was cleaning the kitchen wiping the counter off and the tile fell right off the side. I don't think I was wiping that hard. :) Don't they say things come in three's, but gosh what else could happen.

A Little Piece Of Me Died

I'm not going to lie I was saddened when we finally got around to changing our licence plates to Texas plates. Last week we made the change over to being Texans(only on the outside our hearts are still in Washington) by getting our licence plates and Kevin getting his divers licence. They make it super hard to obtain these things down here, and because I didn't have my birth certificate I couldn't get my drivers licence(darn it:). Our Washington plates and divers licences were one of the last tangible things we have of Washington.

Put Me In Coach...

Last week I had my first t-ball practice. I am the assistant coach for the little Yankee's. We have only had a couple practices so far but it's so fun to see these little guys running around and driving(more like falling on) ground balls. But i was very surprise to see how good they are already. It may just be the second week but I'm super excited for the rest of the season.

Big Surprise!

So this last week Grayson and I spent the week in Seattle. Kevin's family had yet to meet him so we thought it would be fun to come and see everybody. The best part of the whole thing was that my family didn't know we were coming. Well my sister knew so we could figure out how to surprise the rest of them. (well I have a video of us surprising my them but I can't figure out how to post it, so I'll see if I can't figure it out)
While we were there we did a lot of running around. Sunday we went out to The Evans to have a family dinner. The rest of the week we spent doing a lot of shopping. The last night we were there my mother in law and sister throw a baby shower for me.

It was lots of fun to see and catch up with people I hadn't seen in awhile.

This picture makes me smile. It looks like he is praying.

He looked so cute in one of his many new outfits that I had a take a picture. How cute does he look in his little baseball outfit?!

6 weeks

This past weekend we went and got Grayson's pictures taken. I think they turned out so cute.

My posts have been kind of boring lately, so sorry. We don't really do much and Grayson, well he is 6 weeks and can't do much. He is getting better a holding his head up and likes to stand and try to use his legs. The other night he got mad when Kevin wouldn't hold him up. It was funny.

Chunky Monkey!

Today was Grayson's one month check up and he is growing very well. He weighed in at 10lbs 9oz and is 21 1/2in long. He also had to get a shot. I think he screamed as loud as I've ever heard him scream before. But a few good screams and that was it. So he did pretty well.

(just a side note...it's february 5th, 73 degrees outside and the ice cream man just drove by...one thing to love about texas i guess)
