abandoned post

Sorry about the moratorium on posting... work. It's sucking the life out of me to the point where the thought of finding my camera, finding the card reader, loading the photos, writing the post and actually posting it makes me so tired that I fall asleep in the middle of the thought. But alas, a post...

Here's my cute 4 month old!

Look at those cheekers!

I believe this is Gray sign language for "I would like a bottle to be placed here, Mom."

Stats:

Height- 26 inches (84 percentile)

Weight- 15 lbs. 10 oz (64 percentile)

Very healthy and happy 4 month visit. The only issue is naps... long story... another post.

We've also learned a few tricks...

Gray LOVES LOVES LOVES his toes. Didn't you know... toes are the new thumb!

(Also, look who else was having some back play time... Needy McNeedy, Sawyer.)

Tri-podding King

Other fun things:

In the past week Gray has started craning his head back to look at who is holding him. 

He loves pretend falling.

He thinks Daddy is hilarious.

He reaches out one hand to touch your face when you're holding him (SO SWEET!)

LOVE this kid! Everyday is just a little bit funner (yes funner ;) )!!!

cred is due

There is no way in the world I would be who I am today without 2 things... God and my family.

I was blessed to have been born into a super one and then doubly blessed to marry into a super one!

Everyone has helped out so much and has been so giving. I love that the people in my life are like that because I believe it is absolutely true that you are who you surround yourself with. Eveyone has something that I would love to grow in and be better at.

Mom- You are always there to comfort... in sickness and in helath... for richer or poorer, ect. :)

Lynn- You are so supportive... of your kids, family, any stranger that is soon to be your friend ;)

Amanda- You do things that you aren't required without need for recognition.

Chris- You tolerate my crazy :)... so patience.

Karen, Cheryl & Grandmama- Your love language is giving and you do it well. Time, money, recognition, praise.

Annalee- You are an excellent listener.

Mel- Your faith is almost tangible.

Deela-You're hilarious and you're always thoughtful in all that you do.

Kim- You are loyal... to your family, friends, baby Gray,  and Sawyer ;)

Jenny- You are crazy about Christ and you say it.

and everyone else in my life (including God ;) )easily fits into at least one of these catagories! I love you all so much and all that you do. I truly could NOT do it without you.

Here's a few picks of G when Karen gave up her Thursday to watch him :)

I am crazy blessed by our awsome God!

SUPERlittleMAN!

Oh I just love him!

Don't you?

Here are some baby G updates...

Gray sleeps through the night (can I get an amen) about 12 hours without feeding!

Napping... not so much a few cat naps here and there.

He loves smiling, especially at Mom and Dad.

He rolls over (front to back) pretty often now... love the shocked look on his face each time like 'How did I get here?'

Spends his Sundays at nursery 'Sunday School' then hanging out with Mom and Aunt Kim.

Has been on several couponing adventures with Mom. (So far this month we've saved over $200 buckaroos!)

Hair is coming in well but sticks straight up. (see above pic)

Can't wait to start eating solids because he's downing 6-8 ounces a feeding now.

Woohoo to my little 3 3/4 month old!

Love you,

Momma
