Thank You PBS!

Grady has been his working his letters like a champ! I'd love to take all the credit, but he has been learning his letters from "Super Why" on PBS which focuses on letters, words & reading...it's his favorite show after "Sid" and "Elmo" (a.k.a. Sesame Street).

Just Remember I Was Here First

Big brother Grady has decided this little seat I use for Chase is a really nice spot to eat a vanilla wafer & watch TV...his little hiney can barely fit in it, but he has managed to make it work!

The Little Gentlemen

Got a good snap of Grady "holding" Chase...Grady was happy to be doing the "holding", Chase was not super excited about being held...

BIG BOY!!

Chase is growing so fast...tear...He is smiling & "talking" these days...just want to smooch that little face!!

Slumber Party!!

While Nick was out of town this past week I decided to let Grady bunk with me...I knew going into it that I may be in for a heap of trouble, but I think we were both feeling a little "clingy" so I did it anyway...The picture above with Grady laying peacefully with his "pop pop", a.k.a. pacifier, and his "blank", a.k.a. blankie, lasted all of 10 minutes before he got hyped up & was bouncing all over the bed...soooo...slumber party canceled! Back to the crib!! He didn't care though, so it was all good.

Learning Curve!

Gram (Tina) got Grady these blocks, and after totally destroying (!) the box they came in, he is really enjoying stacking them, and then running full force to knock them all down! They are alphabet blocks with pictures, and he is really mastering his letters, so this proud mama keeps working on them each and every day! Toddler Storytime at the library for the first time this week!

A New Life!

So, if you noticed the date of my last post was November 7...the day I went into labor with Chase...and I haven't been back since..my bad, but I've been a bit busy being the proud wife & mama to Nick, Grady & my little Chase!! Ok, not so little Chase anymore!! He is 70% for weight right now! He was 10% a month ago, so as you can see he has been a busy boy! Grady has been a great big brother, and he is becoming more & more like a little boy as each day goes by...He's been really working on his alphabet, and I just love watching him ingest Sesame Street & everything they teach on that show...he cracks up at Cookie Monster, and of course Elmo has yet again stolen the heart of another toddler. What is it will that little red ball of fluff?

Nick and I just loved being a normal family for a few months while I was off work, and I truly loved every minute. I wasn't sure I would want all that "home time", but I thrived on it, and I really hope the day comes soon when I can do that full time...I am posting some pics to catch you

up on the last 3 months!

Davey's 40th Bday!
