Dear Izzy,

Four years ago today you entered this world, just a tiny girl who fit in the palm of your daddy’s hand. You were literally the “pick of the litter” with your honey colored coat, white spots on your nose and paws, and sparkling blue eyes. You were the cutest little puppy, and we bought right…

Really Bad Hair Day

This morning was Grayson’s EEG at his neurologist’s office. I had several sweet offers from people willing to go with us for support, but I decided since the test wasn’t invasive or anything where G would get stuck with needles, we could go by ourselves. What the heck is this all about!? Grayson was tired…

Friday Afternoon Funny

This is Grayson’s favorite toy- a silver rattle. He is working SO hard to learn to pick it up on his own. When it’s in his hand, he holds on tight and attempts to put the entire rattle in his mouth. Playing with his rattle is serious business. I was snapping away at the camera, and…

Neurology Appointment

This morning, Grayson had his appointment with the pediatric neurologist. The doctor was quirky, funny and smart, and I liked him. He examined Grayson head to toe, which is what I have wanted for a doctor to do since the beginning. When I mentioned that Texas Children’s endocrinology wouldn’t see him because of his ‘normal’…

Pippi

This is Pippi, my first dog. I bought Pippi when she was 7 weeks old, just a tiny white ball of fluff. Pippi was a ball of energy; she was my workout partner, my baby, my friend, and a lot of times, my comforter. Today is Pippi’s birthday. She would have been 6 years old. We…

Ugh!

Last night, I started feeling run down, tired and a little achy. I really thought it was the result of my (probably a little dramatic, but totally justified) annoyance with the electricians who were supposed to come in the afternoon but came at 6:15 pm. 6:15 pm is NOT the afternoon, people! 6:15 is also Grayson’s…

Wordy Wednesday

I know it’s supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I have a lot to say today! In reference to yesterday’s post, I found it annoying interesting that this was the topic of my weekly babycenter.com email that popped up in my inbox this morning: Weird, huh? Although about 15 hours too late, BabyCenter! (Yes, I…

Rookie Mistake

If I’m going to brag about my baby, besides talking about how unbelievably cute he is, I brag about how awesome he is about bedtime. We have our routine- bath between 5:30 and 6:00, then if he’s home, Daddy makes a bottle and brings it in as we put on jammies. Then Grayson drinks his…

Grayson's Dedication

Yesterday was Grayson’s dedication at church. Our church doesn’t baptize infants- Grayson will be baptized when he’s ready and able to make that decision for himself.  We invited our in-town family; unfortunately, my mom (Grammie) couldn’t come because she’s at Disney World with her orchestra from school. My dad, Ryan’s mom and grandmother, and Ryan’s…

Thursday Snippets

I’ve made three appointments for Grayson- one pediatric opthamologist, one pediatric neuro-opthamologist, and one pediatric neurologist. None of them can see him until May, although I talked to the nurse at my pediatrician’s office this morning, and she working on getting him in sooner with the neurologist. We tried sweet potatoes today. This was the…
