Sweetness

I just love the stage that Grayson is at right now. He is so sweet and cuddly. Last night he tucked me into bed, gave me a kiss and then ran off. I shouted "I love you" and heard a trailing little voice say "love you too". So sweet. And he always wants "just 1 more kiss"...honestly, this is a stalling tactic for him because he does it at bedtime and when we drop him off for school. But, it's still so sweet...who could say no to that? Last night he woke up around 11:00 or so and was yelling for daddy (as usual) and when Terry went in there, he said "Lay with me a couple while". Just so sweet. Man, I love that big boy.

About Time

Our house is officially bottle free. Griffin hasn't been taking a bottle for a good week now. Luckily, he seems to like milk and is pretty good with drinking out of a sippy cup. I was a little nervous to give him regular milk since he had such bad eczema when he was little and had to be on soy formula. Thank goodness that seems to have passed. But oh.my.goodness. When he wakes up in the morning, he is the crankiest little person I've ever seen. For breakfast, he's been eating yogurt and fruit, but geez....getting him to wait that entire minute that it takes to open it up and get a spoon must be torture for him because he acts like a crazy baby. I think I may just start going in his room with a cracker when I go get him out of bed just so he has something to put in his mouth. I didn't know my wee man could be such a turkey, but apparently he's not real happy that he doesn't get that bottle in the morning. This too shall pass.

Has it been that long?

Since I last made a post? Wow. Well, I guess the more impressive thing is that there really is nothing new to post anyway....that's a little sad. Halloween has come and gone and I haven't even uploaded a pic of the boys in their costumes...bad mama! Grayson had a great time trick or treating. Griffin rode in the stroller eating pizza the whole time and then threw it all up when he got home :(  Poor thing had some kind of virus so he had been running fever (thank you for Motrin and Tylenol). Then when I fed him his bottle right before bed, he got a little gagged on it and everything he had eaten came up. I feel so helpless for babies when that happens. Luckily, he's getting back to himself....a little whiney, but much better than he was. Terry was sitting in the back of the van the other day on the way to a Halloween carnival and snapped this pic:

Buzz and Woody holding hands...it just melts my heart. Grayson is so sweet to his little brother and I know Griffin just loves him to pieces. It will be so much fun to watch them grow up together. Man, I love those boys!!
