October 2010

We got together with some friends and made a trip to the corn maze. Grish had a blast with his his friends, Aleigha and Tyler. They played in the corn bin, they got lost in the corn maze, had their faces painted ( grish's first time might I add, and he did GREAT!) and they played with the water troths. It turned out to be a perfect day!

september/ Our trip to the Houston Space center and the Galvaston Beach

We took a trip to Houston on Labor day to visit my niece and nephew who live there. We had a great time taking Grish to the space center and to the beach. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at both place but I think he preferred the beach a little more, all that sand just does something for him! :)

Way over due

It's been a long time since I have updated this blog, life I guess, has gotten in the way. Tons of things have happened in the last year. Grish started daycare last January and he's loving it. He's growing in leaps and bounds. He's very much a boy's boy, loves dump trucks, mud puddles, and anything that gets him messy. He's had a few bouts with sickness over the last year, several colds and one case of strep, but we have been very fortunate that he's been relatively healthy other wise. I am so very thankful to have him, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think the Lord above for blessing my life with this little man. He's very much loved. :) Here's some pictures from the last few months..

First Haircut

Wow..I haven't updated this blog in awhile! I guess I have taken just to adding exciting things here instead of day to day things, oh well, so here goes another exciting episode. This weekend Kevin and I took Grisham and had his haircut for the first time. It's been needing to be done for awhile now, I just haven't had it in me to do it. I guess in the back of my mind I was holding on to his hair as if it held the keys to babyhood, getting a haircut represented "BIG BOY" to me and I haven't been ready to add that title to my only little baby. So, this weekend I sucked it up and we took him in and had it cut. He did really well..I had to give him some benadryl for the swollen eye you will see in the pictures to follow, he was bitten by one our hummingbird size mosquitoes right on the eyelid, so he was somewhat relaxed when we got to the salon. Kevin had to sit with him to keep him still, other than that he did really great! Me on the other hand, I wanted to hyperventilate! The more she cut the more I wanted to cry! In the end it turned out really cute, and I have to admit he really did need a haircut!

Poo Poo in the Potty!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine me doing a little song and dance as I say Poo Poo in the potty..because I am! My child made a HUGE advancement towards potty training today. My mother has been working with Grisham for the last month or so on showing him all about the potty. Well he's tinkled on the potty a couple of times, but that's only because she has caught him in the act and immediately runs him to the potty chair. Well today is a totally different story! I went home for lunch and decided to take his diaper off while I was there just to see if I could get him to tinkle on the potty, I never expected there to actually be pee much less poop! I brought the potty chair into the livingroom and showed him it was there and he proceeded to climb all over and take it apart, anything but sit and do his business, so I just left him alone with thinking he was enjoying playing with it..a few minutes later he walked over to me making this weird face with his lips all puckered up and saying..ooohhhh..I thought he hurt himself..then I walk over to the potty where he is leading me and find his oooohhh! He actually pooped on the potty ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!! I was soooo excited I started yelling and clapping, which I think actually freaked him out a bit, until he realized that I thought what he had done was a great thing! I took the potty filled with poop to the toilet and showed him that we flush it, and he was sooo intrested in watching it go down the toilet! I then took the potty and washed it out and put it back together and set it back in the livingroom..well he sat back on it and tinkled! I AM ONE PROUD MOMMA TODAY!!!!! I know we have a ton of work ahead of us on this issue but it just feels so good to know that he's "getting it"

Here's a nice little picture of his deposit!
