Grabbing

Grayson started grabbing toys this week. I’m in awe of my little boy. I sit with him on the floor, prop him up against me and hold his cow or his rattle in front of him and he grabs it. I kiss his little cheeks and tell him how proud of him I am, and…

TGIF

It’s been a busy week. It’s funny how my definition of “busy” has changed so drastically in the last year. A year ago, a busy day consisted of a full day of teaching, then a few hours of work at Waggin’ Tails, finished off by a drive into town to tutor- all of this while…

So What Wednesday

So what if I am doing a So What Wednesday because I don’t have anything else to write about today? So what if hearing about other people’s MAJOR DRAMA makes me a little more thankful for my relatively drama-free life? So what if the last two nights of being dog-free (I gave myself and our…

Feeding Frustrations

This morning, I read this post from Fearless Formula Feeder and it made me cry. I thought I was past anything to do with my breastfeeding experience making me cry. Apparently not. If you don’t want to read the post (but you should, because it’s a great post), basically it’s a commentary on this 2003…

Progress Report

Grayson usually wakes up between 3:30 and 4:00 AM to eat and then goes back down for another hour or two before getting up for the day. So last night before Ryan and I went to bed, I mentioned we didn’t need to set the alarm for the Royal Wedding because we had the perfect…

I Heart Nice People

I just wanted to share some acts of kindness I have received over the past few days. What a blessing! Denise, the owner of WT (and my friend), went with me to Texas Children’s TWICE in the last week for morale support. Grayson had to have a lot of blood drawn for genetic testing that…

Our Easter in Pictures

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! A few weeks ago, I made an Easter plate- the chick is Grayson’s foot and the cheeks of the bunny are his teeny tiny tushy-cheeks! Saturday, we were invited by a couple at church to a fabulous “Eggstravaganza” at their home. The had a big egg hunt for the…

7 Months!

 Mr. Beautiful Blue Eyes  I’m a little sad writing this post, because to me, seven months sounds so much older than 6 months. I rocked G an extra few minutes last night before putting him to bed as a 6 month old for the last time. Important stuff in Grayson’s world: Food: Solids…

My New Normal

I think back to a year ago- I was pregnant, had just found out that Baby Baker was a boy, and was anxious and excited for the school year to be over. I am trying to remember what I thought my life was going to look like with Grayson- certainly I had no idea the…
