What we're up to...

Here's my stab at a family update for you all. Things have been going really well in our household. We are all enjoying where God has us.

Lately Greyson has been a cranky grump! The reason? He is giving up his morning nap but can't quite make it to afternoon naptime without falling apart. It kinda interesting to see him losing it because is something new that we haven't seen much of before. Greyson is generally such a happy kid, so content. Greyson's favorite things to do: brush his teeth, hang out in his crib (he refuses to come out sometimes! :), go up and down the stairs (on his tummy), and be held by Mom. He really is a Mommy's Boy..... Something funny happened yesterday - we were watching America's Funniest Home Videos and, of course, it was showing a lot of people falling and being knocked over and Greyson would start crying EVERYTIME someone would fall. He would calm down and then the next person would fall and he'd start crying again.... I guess I have a sensitive little boy on my hands. I'll have to make sure to nuture that! :)

Here's another where he is checking out a snowman his size!

Greyson LOVES the birthday card that Aunt Liz sent him. It is a musical card that plays the conga. It is so cute watching him palying with it!

Madelyn is doing well too. She is sitting right here next to me doing her favorite thing - watching a DVD, namely Finding Nemo. I have been trying so hard to limit her TV watching, so I break it up and only let her watch about 30-45 mins a day, but it so hard! That and dressing up are the only things she wants to do!! She loves her DVDs. She has a Madeline one, several VeggieTales, and Finding Nemo. I am definitely in a stage of trying to get some activities lined up for us to do instead. I have lots of ideas, now I have to get the supplies to do them. We'll be in a better routine soon. It will be nice when it warms up and we can outside more often. Madelyn experienced a "first" yesterday. She woke up about 6am and told me that her stomach hurt, then she threw up. Not knowing what throwing up is, I can't imagine what she was thinking or how she felt! We don't know if she had a virus or ate something that upset her stomach, but she is all better already. We are still waiting for her appetite to fully return tho.

we are very much into fort building these days!

Madelyn goes to the dentist! She did awesome!
