5 months

You are one sweet little spirit and I find my self constantly oozing over how in love i am with you! Having a daughter gets me sometimes, when I think about all the fun and special moments i will experience with you. You are getting so big!! Not much has changed this month other than that. You are so content and happy! If I had to describe you with one word, that would be it HAPPY! You love love love your daddy! everytime he comes home you have the brightest and biggest smiles waiting as soon as you hear his squeaky love voice he has just for you haha It is a beautiful thing to see your man with his daughter! Cant really describe into words what that feels like but i never thought i could love your dad any more than i already do. You are scooting, rolling, and pushing your self around everywhere these days! I swear you will be crawling in no time! you can just barely sit on your own for a second or 2 before falling over so i bet you will be sitting up by the end of the month! You get really into playing with certain things and if those things get taken away, you are sure to let us know! You love your dads watch and the butterfly toy in your exerciser! Your sleep is still AWESOME! nothing has changed there other than naps getting more and more consistant! Its been so nice having everyone back at school and being able to just rock with you when you need me too and not having to stress about everyone letting loose downstairs. Im going to soak up this precious time with you. You are just such a joy in our home! i could watch you sleep all day and just feel my heart melt everytime! I am so thankful for you! Im thankful for your health and how blessed i feel to have all that i do. I hope i never take that for granted! love you so much baby girl Happy 5th month mommy xoxo

Grayden is in Grade 1

I cant believe my first babe is in Grade 1!!! Somebody slap me! He is officially in school full time for the next 16 years! Thats a scary thought, what's even scarier is trusting others to lead and guide you the right way when im not there, or hoping and praying others are not mean to you! I have been dreading this day for years and hoping it wouldnt come so fast…….just the thought of not having you around all day for days at a time puts a lump in my thought, but as the days came closer I have become alot more ready for this day. You are such a sweet and tender boy but you have your momements LoL and I will definitely be excited as heck to see you at the end of the day and surely soak up the time we do have together. The morning of I was excited for this new chapter but sad at the realization of you independence and not needing mommy as much…. over the summer you have been very much into friends and always wanting to be out front…. so it has begun….the chapter of friends :) I wont ever forget the morning I dropped you off for your first day of grade 1. You were so excited (much different than kindergarden) i walked you to the gate and we gave hugs and kisses (hopeing that doesn't go away anytime soon) and you walked yourself to the door like such a big boy and yelled out "bye mom" I dont think you even looked back (i know that was your shy side coming out) I was so sad but so proud of you!!! I walked back to the van with a big lump in my throat and managed to hold back the tears ;) That was definiely a moment…a big mile stone for you, and for me! ….Words just cant express how much i love you and how proud I am of the boy to have become :) Excited for this new adventure !! Heres you on your FIRST day of FIRST grade :)

Summer 4 months

Summer is 4 months! You are growing so much its crazy! You started rolling over this month from your front to your back but cant quite make it to your back to your tummy ;) You grab at everything now and everything goes in the mouth! WE have to start being very careful now! Youve been starting to teeth for a while now! You are one drooling mess sometimes. Your sleep schedule and routine haven't changed much at all. We have a crazy house this month with it being summer and no school and I cant wait to spend some alone time with you when school starts! Just one more month ;) You love your baths you love your brothers you love patty cake and anything that involves moving your hands about you love to smile your starting to love your carseat and usually fall asleep everytime you like to eat mommys face when you are hungry Happy 4th month xoxo Mommy
