This week

We have been cooking, gardening and playing up a storm!  Still loving Instagram despite Doug's insistence that it is evidence of the decline of our society :)

Instagram

I have long been awaiting this program to come to my phone.  Since I became a mommy I have had such a hard time keeping up with pics with my "nice camera".  Mostly I have my phone handy when Grayson is doing something I can't bear the thought of forgetting.  instagram solves this problem for me.  So, here ya go tons of pics.

7 month old cutie

Here are Grayson's 7 month old pics(taken in our kitchen, as always) He is having such a great time just being alive that it makes me feel the same way. He just started sleeping through the night in his own bed(yay) and is such a character! We love you Grayson!

Life

Here are a few pics of Grayson lately.  So far he has 2 teeth almost in, pulls himself up with my hands and says Da and already it seems we may have a little engineer on our hands.  He is always watching and trying to figure out how everything works!  He is SO social.  one of his favorite things is to talk to strangers on the train, at the store or people in our building.  He is just the best little guy!

Hopelessly....

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss

Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now

'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about When I heard this song(admittedly MUCH later than everyone else I realize) I knew it had to be the anthem of our next family video. I hope you enjoy watching--trying to keep up documenting the memories could be a full time job, and I am trying to keep up while holding on for dear life(and pausing to take it all in)

"When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in"

Being a New Mom

Looks a little like this.  Between all the yawns and only having time to post to this blog from my phone(hence the poor quality photos and lack of detail in posts)  I am feeling pretty behind on a lot of things.  I am also having the time of my life with this little guy.  He just turned 4 months and has discovered his hands.  He loves to stand(with help), squeal and pinch.  He is such a great little baby and smiles at everyone he meets.  So while I look tired outside, I am so very happy on the inside.

My handsome Boys

Grayson loves the bjorn(finally)! Today Doug took him for a while so I could get a few things done. Doug worked and walked on the treadmill while Grayson watched.  Doug came down the stairs and proclaimed: "well, now he knows how to program" What fun these two will have together!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bench for the Bjorn!! What a useful Christmas Gift indeed!
