8 MONTHS OLD!! (A little late)

Greyson turned 8 months old a couple of weeks ago! I have been dealing with some health issues so I haven't been able to post. In fact, this one will be short as I am only a week in to my recovery.. Will post more about that later. Anyway, wanted to share a few pictures of our boy on his big day!

I promise to update as soon as I can regarding my surgery (it's NOT pretty..) in the mean time, send some prayers or positive thoughts my way, I sure could use them! Until next time!

And Just Like That One Leaves The Nest

Our oldest son has gone off to make his way in the world.. Such a bittersweet thing. I am gonna miss him terribly, but I am so excited for the man he will become and the wonderful things the future will hold for him!

Our middle son is leaving in 36 days and if we had not realized our dreams of a child together via surrogacy and having our sweet little Greyson, we would be empty nesters already!! That's a crazy thought! 

I did pretty good keeping it together sending my baby boy off. Y'all should be proud of me! I just have to make it through ONE more send off and then I can be a blubbering mess... I am even more thankful that we have Greyson because I think I would be in a terrible place otherwise.

BUT since it will just be us and Greyson, we are hoping we will get to do some great things that we haven't been able to do because of TTC and the cost that it involved.. We are hoping to finally take a honeymoon someplace cool (we chose not to so we could start right off with IVF after our wedding since we knew that was our only option) and we are hoping to take a couple of road trips (besides the ones to visit the two older boys!)


That's about it for now.. Here are a couple of pictures of our last outing together I have looked at these pics a bunch of times :'(

 Until next time!

Finally!

Greyson's two bottom teeth finally broke through!! YAY!!! It seems like in the last few days he has made some serious strides, it's crazy! He is consistently rolling all over the floor for one.. He is also CRAWLING! I mean he went from scooting to crawling pretty much overnight, ack! He is now also sitting up in his crib (and everywhere else!) and standing up/pulling up and yelling at us over the side, HA! We had to lower the crib today since he decided to throw stuff at us and we figured he would be trying to escape shortly.. He is also saying MAMA! He says it all the time, I LOVE IT!!! Much more to blog about but don't have much time today, so I will leave you with a few pictures!

Yes my bib is for the 4th of July, I'm a rebel!

Gingers RULE!

Hi, Mommy.. Will you catch me if I jump off of here?!

 

7 Months Old!

When I wasn't looking, Greyson went and turned 7 months old!! Where in the world is the time going?!?! This kid is army crawling ALL..OVER.. Also it is time to child proof the house, as he hasn't met a wire or phone charger or anything that isn't a baby toy that he doesn't like! He rolls over from front to back with ease and is babbling all day long. He prefers to stand vs. sit or lay down and he is now full on experiencing separation anxiety if we leave the room (very sucky for him when I am alone with him and need to do something!) Even though I say "Momma will be right back" and I do "peek a boo" with him to show him I can "go away" and come back, he isn't having it.. He is thriving so much and I am so proud of my little man! Still not a tooth in sight though! He has enough drool to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool though, OMG!! He is 18lbs and 27 3/4" tall so a lean tall scooting machine! Here are a few pics from Wednesday:

Oh and someone has decided they do not like waking up in a good mood anymore! This is his new wake up face:

Pitiful right?... After about 2 minutes he's usually his happy self though, thankfully...


SO much is going on right now and I have LOTS to share, but I am still processing some things.. Will update again by next weekend and get y'all up to speed on what's been happening. Til then, mwah!
