It's Fall Ya'll!!!

It's officially that time of year, although it's 80 degrees as I type this. Here in MS, it'll be 80 one week and 50 the next! Anyways, we took Grey to Zoo Boo on Saturday and I'd have to say, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I think Grey needs to be a little older for him to enjoy it, of course. It started at 6:30 and his bed time is at 7:30. Needless to say, we had a very fussy baby on the ride home and he didn't sleep well at all that night! No more messing his schedule up. I use to be one of "those" people who never understood why parents HADDD to stick to a schedule, now I completely understand. I had a good time with the family though and Kenny wasn't playing, so he got to go. Grey was a giraffe and I must say, the cutest giraffe I've ever seen :)

I'm just excited to finally be able to enjoy these holidays coming up. Halloween isn't fun unless you have kids because I'm over going out and no one wants a 30 year old woman knocking on their door begging for candy. So now I have an excuse! I can't WAIT for Christmas this year!!!!! Even though he's not going to understand what's going on and would probably rather have a box and a spoon, I'm beyond excited.

Grey will be 10 months old this Friday and I just can't believe how much time has flown by! It makes me sad to think that this time last year I was pregnant and now he's almost 1!!! He has 2 teeth and by the way he's teething, I know more are on the way. I almost cried when he got his 1st tooth because he didn't have his "baby" mouth anymore. I find all this crazy because if you asked me 2 years ago if I thought I'd be a mom, I'd laugh at you and tell you there's NOOO way because I'm the laziest person in America! I'm still lazy sometimes, but now I'm like "What the heck did I do with my  time before him!?"

I've already done 2 5k's with Grey and no I didn't run them, just walked :) Although I want to start running, at least do some sort of exercise besides picking up a 20 pound baby! I did The Pumpkin Run with Kenny's mom and sister at the beginning of this month that benefited LeBonheur. He did great and loved looking around at all the scenery. This child LOVES looking out the window in the car! He's gonna flip when we can turn his car seat around ! It'll be like a whole new world! Anyways, I want to get a jogging stroller so I can start running and have him with me, but Kenny said no because he thinks I'll never do it. He's knows me too well :)

One last thing, Kenny sent me some pictures from his phone the other day, one's that I don't remember ever seeing. I wanted to share one that is my favorite. It was right after I had Grey, almost like the 1st time we actually saw each other. It looks like he was saying "So you're my mom!" Kenny was able to capture this special moment........

Almost Walking!!??

Well, this is officially my first blog ever! I'm only doing this because Jessica Russell convinced me it would be good for Grey to have something to look back on. I'm not great at writing and I tend to ramble, A LOT!!! But I always enjoy reading other people's blogs, so hopefully SOMEONE will enjoy this??!! And if not, well it's for Grey anyways. :)

Grey is now 9 months old, almost 10. He's crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything, he's been doing it now for about 2 months. The other day he started letting go of things and standing on his own and now he's walking behind his little train! Of course he thinks it's the funniest thing ever, which it kind of is, because he goes soooo fast! I'm one scared mama though, he always bangs his head enough just crawling. I swear he looks like the poster child for child abuse sometimes. If I think I'm busy now trying to keep up with him, I can only imagine what it'll be like when he's walking!!!! I'm giving him a month and he'll be walking.

I took him to the pumpkin patch last week with his cousins.I love watching him experience new things! He was crawling all over the pumpkins and trying to eat them, of course, because everything goes in his mouth right now. This will be his 1st Halloween and I'm so excited! We are taking him to the pumpkin patch at the zoo this weekend, but I'm still not sure what we will do for Halloween night. I'm sure we'll go trick or treating just for a little bit, mama needs some candy!!!

We had our 1st play date this past Sunday at Amy Thomas'. She has twin boys just 2 weeks older than Grey. He is in his "all I want is Mommy" mode right now, so when he gets around people he's not use to, he clings to me. This lasted all of 30 seconds because he saw them playing with all these toys and he said see ya mom! It was so cute because he was almost having a conversation with Taden. One would babble and as soon as he quit, the other one would holler. They were just talking and laughing! It was hilarious! I love watching him interact with other babies because he loves kids so much!


This little boy has brought so much joy to my life, I don't know what I did before him! He's perfect and my only wish would be that my mom and brother were here to see him. I know she would just eat him up! He absolutely adores Kenny's parents though and they love him to death! He will definitely spend a lot of time wanting to go hang out with PawPaw and Gma (no name for her yet).
