Gibson is HERE!!!!

A lot has happened since my last post in April. I am now a mother of 2 boys!! Gibson Lane Luther was born on May 20 at 1:49 pm, weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds 6 oz!!! Once again, I had an easy delivery. I couldn't imagine being in labor for 20 hours like some of my friends. He came in to this world PERFECT! The greatest memory I have from that day is Grey meeting Gibson for the 1st time. I talked to him about "baby Gibson" the whole time I was pregnant, so he would understand somewhat. He just jumped right in the bed with me at the hospital and say heyyyyy baby Gibson. So now, he doesn't call him brother, he still calls him his baby Gibson. This is my favorite picture. Nothing but love........

 

Even though the first few days were the happiest, I was so sad because I missed Grey sooooo much! I've never been away from him for more than a day, so it was hard on me. I was ready to be home! So of course, my child that NEVER gets sick, gets strep throat the DAY we come home from the hospital! Thankfully, no one else got it. I was just stressed to the max the first few days. I am so glad that Kenny was home because I couldn't have done it by myself, mentally AND physically. Grey absolutely LOVES Gibson! He wakes up in the morning asking where he is and he hugs and kisses him constantly. Let's just see how long it lasts. Haha! He acted out for about a month when we first brought Gibson home, but just with us. He threw some major fits! I wasn't ready for all that! He definitely calmed down though and is use to life of not being the only child.

So, playing catch up, Gibson is now 3 months old! Time REALLY flies when you have 2! He has been such a blessing and a great baby. Gibson loves being held and loves smiling! He really is a laid back baby. He LOVES to eat, fat boy! He does NOT like laying on his tummy! He likes to look in the mirror too, just like his daddy. He rolled over at just 7 days old, but don't tell Kenny because he wasn't there when it happened and I never told.......sshhhh!!!!! Grey rolled over at 2 weeks old. I have some strong boys!!! I have tried to take it all in this time around. I wished for everything to hurry up with Grey, just so I could sleep. It doesn't seem to bother me this time, I guess because I'm use to no sleep. I just thank God every chance I get that He has given me 2 healthy, beautiful baby boys. I couldn't be happier and thankful than I am today. 

We have also been blessed with a new house! We are moving in September to a bigger house!!! Where would you be without family!?!?!? God is definitely good.

These pictures are from our trip to Hot Springs for July 4th.

King of the world!!!!

This is Gibson at 1 month

And here he is at 2 months

 

 The rest are just some of my favorites.

Gibson's 1st real bath

We went to meet the Rebels in Oxford this past weekend. It was crazy packed, so we didn't stay long. But Grey had fun running around. He never wants to take a picture anymore, so it's hard to get one of his full face. He immediately turns around when I take a picture.

Potty training at its finest! He'll kill me one day for this :)

My sweet boys

Being a mother of 2 is challenging and a little harder, but 100 % worth it! It's easier the second time around because I'm not so scared and I have "somewhat" of an idea of what I'm doing. Will we have another one? I'm not totally against it, but for right now 2 is enough. My family feels complete!

Two in one month!!! Mama's on a roll!!

It's getting warmer outside, FINALLY! So that means we are outside more. Grey is an outside baby, so we try to be out as much as possible. He got his first real boo boo about a week ago when he was running too fast up the driveway to Kenny's parents and he fell. He skinned his knees and elbow up, but he was a trooper!!! Unlike his mama, who thought she was about to cry harder than Grey! Haha! I guess I'm a little over protective right now. But now it's like he falls all the stinking time! I went to get him from the nursery at church and he had a huge bump on his head. The girls said they didn't call for me because he didn't cry, he just got right back up and kept on playing. So I guess he's a tough lil boy. 

He's talking a lot more and he cracks me up all the time! It seems like he's already arguing with me! I'll tell him something is hot and to wait, he immediately says "dat not hot mama!" He loves milkshakes and popsicles now, it's all he asks for. He still looooves rubbing my hand when he's sleepy, and it is my absolute most favorite thing in the world!!!

I finally got a picture of him holding my hand tight and rubbing my fingers. This is one of my favorite pictures. I love this boy so much, how many times do I say that in these posts!? That's one thing I knew growing up, that I was loved.........and so will Grey and Gibson. My dad use to tell me "I lovely you." I still say that today.

The next two are of him eating his popsicle and drinking his milkshake :) He loves saying CHEESE now!

This is Grey watching his daddy play at a gig.

I just love these 2 boys with all my heart!!! Kenny is such a great dad and I'm so proud of him. I knew he would be, I just never imagined how great he would be. I don't remember mine being there a lot growing up, so this makes my heart smile.

He's "helping" Kenny in the yard.

This last picture is from my diaper shower my friends threw me this past weekend. I am lucky to be 32 and still have a great set of friends!! This is of me, Jess "Jenks" McBride, baby Cora Harlow, and Jess Moran. And yeahhhh, Jenks gave birth a month ago!!! She makes me SICK! Ha ha ha

Quick catch up

Not much to update on this month! I'm getting bigger for sure, and I only have about 5 weeks left until we meet baby Gibson!! I couldn't be more excited to meet this lil guy! I'm curious to see if he'll look like Grey, or if he'll look anything like me!

It's getting closer to another school year ending and that means SUMMER time!!! I hope that Grey has a blast this summer, even though it's going to be hard to do all the things I want to because we will have a newborn. I still plan to make it great!

Here's just a few pictures I recently took.

He still loves his Dida :)

 I love this one! Grey sitting on the couch watching his daddy play guitar. He loves it!

Of course he has his dinosaurs........he's obsessed!

These next ones are a few from Easter this year. We went back down to Holly Springs to Ronnie and Brenda's. He hunted eggs and had a blast! He kept yelling "mo eggs!!!" Once he finally realized there were prizes in them, he would say "eggs hatch!" Nini and Aunt Lindsey weren't able to be there because they were in Indiana, but we made sure to take lots of pictures and video for them.

Please, pay no attention to the beavis and butthead pants my husband is wearing! Hahaha!!!

Isn't he so handsome!!!! I could just eat him up!!!!

Spoiled rotten!!! Driving his Mercedes from Uncle Ron And Aunt Bren

Worn out! Passed out on the way home.

Warm weather, where are you!?

I'm back at work this week after having last week off for Spring Break. Let me say that Grey can sleep until 8:30now and getting up this week for work has been HARD, on both of us! He refuses to wake up and if this is any indication as to how it will be when he gets older, then I'm in for some hard mornings. I love the fact that he's sleeping later though, but it won't last long for me!!! Remind me again why I'm a having another baby?! Ha!

Last week was filled with park visits and play dates with my best friends nephew, Portland. These boys were born 3 months apart and they are the best of friends! They love each other and play great together.

I think this was taken when Grey was about 5 or 6 months old and Portland was about2 or 3 months. So cute!!!!
The rest are taken from this week at the park.

This last one is my favorite! Grey is giving Portland a hug! They are just the sweetest boys EVER!!! I'm so thankful for Grey's loving and gentle spirit, except when he's throwing a fit, but he really is a sweetheart. Both of these boys are just the best!!!

Me and Kenny took Grey to the zoo this past weekend too, and he loved it! We've taken him before, but now that he's older, he can enjoy it more and he know what the animals are. It was so cute seeing him get so excited over the tigers and especially the fish! The boy loves animals, or memals as he calls them :)

Pay no attention to the big mama!

This was after a haircut. Everyone needs yogurt after, right?!

After of weekly Target trip. My cool dude with his spider man Easter basket with his hulk smash in it! He loves super heroes and dinosaurs right now. Lord he chases us around with his dinosaurs roaring at us, verrrryyyy loudly!

This last picture is of Grey and pawpaw. He loooooves his pawpaw and neenee! Me and Kenny are thankful for the support system we have. Our families are amazing and they love this little boy to death. Needless to say, he loves them just as much!

We're having a..........

We found out after Christmas that we're having a BOY!!!! Two boys, will I survive!? Ha! After a lot of back and forth, mainly because we only had a girl's name picked out, we decided on Gibson Lane Luther. We are beyond thrilled to be having another sweet boy and I pray him and Grey are the best of friends! We have been blessed with such a sweet little boy already, I pray Gibson is just as sweet.

Here is his picture :)

And here I am at 26 weeks. Much bigger than last time!

Once again, I pray Gibson has a healthy, long, and blessed life!!!!

So, I guess now I might need to rename this blog because it won't be ALL about him anymore! haha!

Grey has turned 2, so he is officially my little man now. He repeats EVERYTHING, so me and Kenny are having to watch what we say. Two hasn't been so bad, though. He only goes to  time out a few times a week, if even that much. He's still my happy little boy, when he's had a good nap!
Christmas was so much fun this year! He loved opening presents, his and everyone else, but he "got" it this year. He loved saying ho, ho, ho like Santa!

I can't wait for warmer weather so this child can go outside and run some of his energy off! The days that have been nice, we go outside and let him play. He LOVES being outside, thankfully, because we do too. He still loves his pawpaw and nene and Lindsey. He always wants to go to pawpaw's house! When we leave to go ANYWHERE, he asks "pawpaw, nene house?" And he cries sometimes when we pull up at our house because he thought we were going to their house. Maybe they spoil him too much? Ha! He spent the night with them this past Friday night and had a blast!

My baby is not a baby anymore and I'm not sure how I feel about it. He has grown into the sweetest, most loving little boy! I definitely think someone upstairs had some help in it :) Even though I miss my mom and brother everyday and I wish they were here to share and experience this little boy, I am still so thankful for this life and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
