First Birthday!

Greyson turned 1!  We were so excited for this day....yet at the same time, just a teensy bit sad as it all went way too quickly.  Our family celebrated on his actual birth day and then he had a sock monkey themed party a few days later for grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins...and Katie and Jay!  I had so much fun planning and decorating...I am already excited for the next one...but I can wait.  I'm loving this stage...he's so curious about everything and is trying to get to all that's exciting.  He's babbling more, giggling more, signing more,  laughing with us, coughing with us, enjoying being read to, and is on the move with his army crawl and pulling himself up onto every couch, chair, person and toilet he can. And he's learning to smile for the camera...I've also included some pix of his one year photos and our family pictures.

Greyson, we love you to the moon and back and then some.  I'm humbled daily that God gave me you...and in awe of how much I thought I loved you one year ago compared to today.  Being your mom is hands down the hardest thing I've ever done...yet the most rewarding experience of my life.  Happy Birthday baby boy!


I'm 1!

Not sure I like sweets.....

but I love being sung to.

Presents are so much fun!

The kitchen drawers are not my friend....

Greyson was playing in the kitchen with me today...opening and shutting the drawers is his favorite thing to do while mom washes bottles.  All of a sudden, one slammed shut and screaming ensued which was followed by a big red welt...which turned to white...and then to purple.  It's his first official injury...with real tears. I think my heart fell into my stomach, but we snuggled for a good 5 minutes after that so we're all good right?  (Did I mention we have family photos on Sunday?)

Check out my bruise...can you see it?

Trick-or-treat....

We had so much fun trick-or-treating!  We stopped by Scott, Michelle, Adrian, and Ashley's...





And then we headed to visit Kirk, Lori, and Riley....

 And a final stop at Marilyn's, Grey's daycare mama.  Thank you Greyson for sharing your candy!
We love our little monkey...
