21 months!!



Well little man in 3 months you will be 2 years old! I can't believe that......and in less than 2 months you are going to be a big brother!!! Not sure which ones more shocking you being a big brother or you turning two! I can't wait to see you as a big brother :)

This month was the month we were going to get you sleeping in your own room...........BUT........ you started teething again :( You cut your 13th tooth on Nov 7 and you just cut your 14th tooth yesterday. This last week has been exhausting with you waking up almost every hour of the night. I really wanted to start getting you used to sleeping in your own room but with me being alone at night and daddy at work it's much easier for me to have you in the same room. Sometimes you just woke up out of know where balling your eyes out. It was so sad and hard for me to see you in such pain so to calm you down we watched the entire movie of toy story at 3am. Anything to keep you distracted from the pain and it seemed to help.

You should be fine now that they have both officially cut through so we'll try this weekend and see how it goes! I am absolutely DREADING it because I know its going to be a hard transition for you. You still want to nurse a couple times in the night and that just HAS TO STOP. I was thinking this morning what would happen to you if the baby was born tomorrow and you had to stay and Grandmas over night without mommy for the first time. You would be devastated.....were if we did it together you would still know I was there for you and not completely abandoned you! This thought really made me even more determined to get it done and over with quickly before baby's born. I was thinking the other day......I have not been able to sleep through a single night without getting up atleast once or twice in 2 years!!! I can't even remember what a good nights sleep is like! Thats crazy!
I am praying for an easy transition for you AND FOR ME.

the last couple of months you have become such a DADDYS BOY! I mean you are still definitely a mommas boy but you have become so attached to your daddy! It is so adorable to see you together! You love to wrestle with your dad :) and when your upset or tired you love to cuddle up to him and rest your little head on his shoulder. That was always a mommys only thing but its so nice to see with your dad! When daddy gets home from somewhere you shout downstairs "HI DAD" its too cute! You adore your daddy!

You are still nursing 2-3 times a day....once before nap (sometimes after as well) and once before bed. (oh and a couple times through the night....*sigh*) I can't help but giggle every time because you literally put your arm around me and grap me towards you...LoL you are still such a big eater! You've always loved your food. You really enjoy your salad lately! This month you have officially joined us at the supper table. You get your own chair and sit right next to daddy at the dinner table. We finally found a good booster seat and our table finally came in last week!! You look like such a big boy. You hated your highchair and felt like you should be a big boy and sit like everyone else !

you love to play with your friends! You love to hang with the "big kids" and chase each other around screaming :) SCREAMING is another fave of yours right now.....you love to scream when you play. Doesn't matter what your doing but love doing it while you SCREAM ! You love to hide from us behind the curtains or closets and open it quickly and you say "boo" !

You have grown up so much! I can't believe Christmas is around the corner and then your second birthday.......*sigh* time flies but I am so excited for what's ahead!
Love you to bits!

Happy 21 months

Happy halloween



Happy Halloween! Well we just moved into our new house the day before halloween so things have been a little hectic but it was fun to celebrate halloween in our new home! Grayden went around the block to meet all the new neighbors with daddy and then we drove out to Grandma's for a quick visit and that was about all the trick or treating he did.

He made the cutest donald duck EVER!!
