5 Months

It's that time of year that I am trying to cram too many things into a day in order to get ready for Christmas. Because we have been so busy, I failed to update you all on our big 5 month old little girl...
Davis was 5 months old last Tuesday and again, I just can't believe where the time has gone. I took her for her check-up and she was 15.6lbs and 26 1/4 in. The Dr was surprised that I had not started her on cereal, etc. yet but I told him I just have not been ready to do so. She is still content with the breast milk she is getting, so I have not been in any hurry to add more to her diet. After things settle down after Christmas we'll start on cereal, etc. I know I have said it so many times before, but Davis is such a sweet girl. She has so much personality which has been fun to watch develop. She smiles all the time which can bring a smile to your face even if you are in a grumpy mood. She has become very content to play on her activity mat, sit in her bouncy seat, and watch Greyson run all over the house! How lucky are we to have these 2 precious kids!!

My Favorite Time of Year

This is my favorite time of year...Christmas. I tell myself every year that I am going to savor every moment leading up to Christmas Day. This year it is even more fun with Greyson being 2 and having our sweet little girl to share all the fun with.




We decorated the house the Saturday after Thanksgiving and are enjoying all the fun decorations. Greyson loves the Christmas tree and especially the lights and ornament that are on it. In hopes that he would keep his little paws off of the big Christmas tree we gave him his own tree with little ornament for his room that he could play with. Greyson also got his own nativity set from his great-aunt Lindsey for his birthday that he LOVES!! We read the Christmas story every night at bedtime in hopes that he will learn what the true meaning of Christmas is all about-JESUS!! We decorated Christmas cookies today; actually Jason and I decorated and Greyson ate them. Needless to say he loved it! Many of you know that Greyson has a fascination with lights, so we are anxious to take him to see the Christmas lights at one of the local parks this week; we know he is going to love it!

We hope you are enjoying the most wonderful time of the year too!!

Greyson's Birthday Party

We had a great time at Greyson's birthday party on Saturday! We celebrated with friends and family at the Children's Museum. If you have never been to a Children's Museum, it's great because there is something for everyone. We had cake, the kids played and Greyson loved opening his gifts. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us!!

Haircut pics as promised...

1st Haircut

So last Thursday after all the birthday festivities we decided it was finally time for someone to professionally cut Greyson's hair. Because the poor boy has 2 cowlicks we have been letting it grow out a bit in hopes it would help the cowlicks lay down. We decided that we would have Vivian who cuts my hair do it. I made the appointment at a time so that Jason could be there for back-up :) We were a little unsure how this whole experience would go since all the "trims" at home had ended in what seemed to be traumatic experiences for Greyson. Luckily Vivian has a TV in her little room so we knew that would help. We warned Vivian that this might end in him screaming bloody murder...we all geared up as she put the booster seat in the chair, put the cape on Greyson, and turned the TV to PBS. Luckily Clifford was on so I thought well at least the TV will have his attention for a second...He did GREAT!!! He sat in the chair, let Viv cut his hair while he watched Clifford and didn't act like it bothered him in the slightest!! I'll post pictures of the event soon!!
