Mr. G is 3 months

I can't believe Graysen is 3 months already. It feels like I just brought him home from the hospital. He is getting so big and has started to develop his personality!


He is one of the smiliest babies I have ever seen, it is sooo adorable! You just look at him and he breaks into a big grin. It melts my heart every time he smiles at me, i just love him so muchHe has recently discovered grabbing things and trying to put them in his mouth, it is quite funny actually. He puts anything from stuffed animals and blankets and pretty much anything he can get his hands on including his hands. Thankfully he still takes a binki.
Along with the grabbing comes a lot of hair pulling as well. I remembered why I cut my hair short after McKenna, less to grab! He tries to grab sisters hair and put it in his mouth, which she doesn't like at all. He actually ripped some of her hair out one day to which she said "you don't pull my hair baby, that hurts!" He also grabs his binki all the time which is totally cute, but he keeps pulling it out of his mouth and can't put it back in so wakes up wanting it.
As far as sleeping goes, he is still keeping me up quite a bit. I can't wait till next month when I can put him on solids. He is just so hungry all the time so I think that is why he doesn't sleep through the night. That and he doesn't really like his bed, he likes mine which I can't blame him for because it is the most comfortable bed ever! I just hope he starts sleeping more at night soon because I don't think my body can handle it much longer.

He loves to kick when he is on the floor and can kind of roll but he doesn't really have a desire to. He just likes to be loved on and held for the most part. I wanted a cuddly baby since McKenna wasn't and I got my wish. It is very nice, but sometimes it is just hard to get things done since he wants to snuggle all the time. he really like to stand though, so whenever I am holding him he tries to push up to the standing position.
He found his voice and loves to hear himself talk, it is the cutest thing. He also loves to giggle which he does quite frequently. I love how much he has started to do within just one month.
He really is such a joy in our lives and McKenna absolutely loves him still! She is such a good big sister and I am so excited for them to grow up together. She told me the other day that Graysen was her best friend. I didn't even know she knew what a best friend was let alone where she learned it from. It was very precious though.
Graysen is really such a good baby, and I am very lucky that I have two wonderful children! I am so looking forward to the holidays to spend with my family, it is so much funner when you have kids to share it with.

Halloween 2010

Well another Halloween has come and gone, but this year I had two lovelies to spend it with. McKenna was tinkerbell and Graysen was a little Giraffe. They both looked so cute in their costumes.
We carved and decorated pupmkins Friday night which was a lot of fun!
Daddy couldn't be with us unfortunately, but we made the most of it. McKenna told me how she wanted her pumpkin carved, and she decorated Graysen's by coloring it with markers, and she put stickers on hers too. Graysen happily looked on as we did the activity. He always has to see what is going on.
We also went to a little playgroup where the kids wore their costumes and had yummy treats and played with goo that was made by one of the fabulous moms. They had a lot of fun. Even though McKenna is one of the only girls in the play group, she loves loves loves the boys! In fact she loves them a little too much. She kisses all the boys, but there is one boy in particular named Randy whom she likes to especially hug and kiss. Their nursery leader told us they are always hugging and kissing each other. Everyone always jokes about them, it is quite funny. We had fun though and it was nice to spend time with friends!
On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa came down and we spent the afternoon with them playing and having fun. We then went to our ward Halloween party which was really fun! There was food and desserts, needless to say I only had a little dinner so I could eat more desserts and candy, I know real good right? There was this really yummy dessert there that was this peanut butter white chocolate yummy goodness. I am not sure how they made it, but it was soooo good!
After we ate we went around to the classrooms where they had a bunch of different activities.
There was like 16 different things to do which was so fun for the kids. McKenna didn't get around to all of them, but she did get to go miniature golfing, glow in the dark bowling, musical chairs, a cake walk, pin the wart on the witch, go through a haunted house, and doughnut on a string. She was so excited to do all the things except the haunted house because there was a tunnel that was dark and she didn't want to crawl through it. I would have gone with her, but I couldn't fit in it...haha. She got candy at each station, so she was trying to sneak it while I wasn't looking, and since she managed too I let her eat a few pieces despite the fact she had already exceeded her quota for the night. It was nice to have Travis parents there to help out with Graysen while I took McKenna around and just to have their company and see how much fun McKenna was having.

We went home afterwards and played for a while before hitting the sack. It was a fun halloween weekend though! I love spending the holidays with my family, and kids make it 10 times more fun!
