Two Months


Greyson - you are TWO months old!  Here's what you're up to now.


Weight:

You weigh a little over 12 pounds, around 12.4 pounds according to our scales at home...still packing on the weight! Your thighs are chunky and I love it! We go to the doctor next week so I will know better stats then.

Height:

I tried measuring you earlier. You are somewhere around 22 1/2 inches. I think you have really grown a lot lately. Your pajamas are getting to be tight on your feet.



Clothing Size:

 You wear mostly 3-6 month clothes. You have a few 0-3 month shirts that you can wear. It is a little weird though, you can barely fit into 3 month pajama onesies, 6 month fits perfect, and I am thinking before long you will be able to wear some 9 months! (I'm hoping this is a sign you are going to be tall!) 

Diapers:

  You are still in a size 1. I am guessing we will be moving up to size 2 before long though!

Feeding:

You're eating about 5 times a day now (sometimes 6, depending on what time you get up). It is hard to tell exactly how much you are eating since we are still primarily nursing. I have started a few times a week giving you a bottle at night of formula and nurse you, too. I am guessing you are eating about 6 ounces per feeding, and at night probably closer to 7 oz. 



Hair/Eyes:


You still have a head full of black hair! I love it! People always comment on how much hair you have! Your eyes are a pretty blue! They aren't a bright blue, but they seem to be getting a little lighter!

Sleep:

You are becoming a great sleeper.  You go to sleep at about 9 at night and sleep until about 2 or 3, eat and go right back down until almost 7! The past few nights you have slept until 5, ate and gone back down until almost 9!  You also usually take 2 naps a day, probably around 1 to 1 1/2 hours each.  Moms on Call  has has worked for us!


Fun Stuff:


- You've really started to smile a lot! Especially when you hear either me or your daddy's voice. You have laughed a few times and it is the sweetest laugh ever! I wish I could catch it on video but you always stop. 

 -You are very observant. If there is a ceiling fan in the room, you immediately look at it and won't take your eyes off of it!

- Tummy time is getting a little better. You have rolled over one time but I am pretty sure it was on accident! You can prop your head up and turn side to side really well! It's only a matter of time and you will be rolling over all the time!

-You have really gained a lot of control over your head. When someone is holding you, you don't look quiet as much like a bobble head! 


-You're trying to talk to us a little bit!  You like to give a few good yells and "talk" to us. Sometimes we are talking to you and sometimes you do it on your own. I love that you are content when someone isn't holding you- not always, but majority of the time. It makes doing things around the house a little easier. 

-You love your white noise machine. We have it on all night for you and I bought another one that stays in your carseat and pack-n-play with you! It is an answered prayer for when you need to be soothed!


-I can't believe how big you're getting! The past week or two I have noticed how big you have become!

You are so wonderful and so perfect! Your daddy and I often talk about how amazing it is to be your parents! 
We pray that you will grow to be a healthy strong boy (and I pray you will be tall! ha), but most importantly, we both pray that you will grow to be a man of God. That you will let Jesus into your heart and strive to be like him in your everyday life!

We love you, sweet Greyson!
  


Easter 2013

I love Easter! It is such a wonderful day to remember the wonderful promise we have as Christians. My heart aches for those people who do not celebrate and truly understand the significance of Easter.

There are only a few times that I can think back to where I do not remember going to Easter Sunrise Service with my dad. My brother and mom started coming once Reed was a little older. It always holds a special place in my heart. I love getting up and watching the sun rise in front of our church. Where we are standing they have the three crosses in front of us. Seeing the crosses in the morning sunrise always touches my heart. I praise God that He Lives and I do not have to spend an eternity in Hell! 

Here are some pictures of our Easter..and Greyson's first!


Greyson's Easter presents from the Easter Bunny. 
Instead of a basket, the bunny opted for the train bag that he will be able to use more than once a year. :) 
He will have a basket when it's time to hunt for eggs!


His Easter outfit- I promise he was more excited than he looks here!







All of his presents from Grandmommy, Mimi and Papa, and the Easter Bunny. Spoiled little boy.

Of course I did not forget Wally- the Easter bunny was just late ordering and it isn't here yet! Whoops!

We had a wonderful Easter, I hope you and your family did, too!

March Instagram Dump

We had a busy month! Here is what we were up to in March!


Greyson started sleeping in his crib...I had mixed emotions at first and now I am thankful I went ahead and have him in his crib. He seems to sleep longer lengths this way!


Uncle Reed took Greyson on his first four-wheeler ride! Welcome to the south; where you ride four wheelers before you are 2 months old! 


My mom celebrated another birthday! We went to Liberty's Tap Room in downtown Greenville- one of our favorites!


One of my best friend's and neighbor, Kate, had her second sweet baby. Greyson and I have enjoyed spending some time with Kate, Lola, and Averie!


John Thomas and I had our first night out to a friend's wedding. We couldn't stay away the whole night, but enjoyed some time together.


Greyson is enjoying tummy time a little better. I had the front door open one afternoon when it was nice outside and he enjoyed looking out the window. 


Bonding time for the brothers!


My sweet boy is doing so well while his momma and Mimi are enjoying time together...and shopping...every other day.  :) John Thomas and my dad is ready for me to return to work so we will stop going out. haha


We went to another wedding and Greyson went with us! Jason is a good friend of John Thomas and me- he tried to help Greyson catch the garter but no luck! 


Here we are at the wedding reception 


We decided to take a family portrait in the photo booth...even Greyson participated!


The days are flying by!
