Sleddin' in style...

I just have to tell you this morning I got a text...it said "Jesus, no blogging since Tuesday...are you feelin' alright?" I had to laugh and I texted back right away promising to blog today. So, a special shout out to all my readers. Thanks for following my family...I really do appreciate it because it is nice to know you have readers out there!

Back to post:
Now this day that we were out sledding was actually very very cold. HOwever, it is also good for the body and soul to get some fresh air. This is also good for a "wee" bitty one year old too! So first things first...order of events and proper steps to follow for sleddin' in style of course!

1. ALWAYS get the "wee" bittty one year old ready first because they always look adorable no matter what. Also, prepare yourself for a quick 10-15 minute sleigh ride around the house even though you spent way longer than that just getting that adorable "wee" bitty one year old ready.

2.Place the "wee" bitty on their sled just right and get that sun out of their eyes!

3. I said just right remember...so for this "wee" bitty that "right" way is on his belly!

4. Get the strongest person in the house to get a rope and pull you around!

5. Remember it is freezing on this day so you are on a time limit...Make it fun!

6. Go fast dad...remember you are the strongest person in the house.

7. Don't be boring...switch it up...don't just pull me go 'round' and 'round'

8. NEVER pull "wee" bitty one year old off when he is not ready...

9. I told you once and I'll tell you again make sure the sun stays out of the eyes even if it does make for a really good lighting type picture.

10. Just keep going...

and going...

and going...

11. Now for this step to sleddin' in style always make sure the strongest man of the house takes both you and your mommy for a sleigh ride.

12. And don't stop to take a picture because "wee" bitty one year old gets mad! Also, if you want to be a mama sleddin' in style just follow my lead-K!!! And in case you can't see...the colors to go with are brown, black, red, white, blue, and pink...and in case you don't know...I'm totally kidding...I should have just went with a snow suit.lol!

13. After about 15 min. of bitter cold tell "wee" bitty one year old that his cheeks are red and raw now and that it's time to go in. He might get a little sad and even start to cry so...

14. Bring the sled inside....what the heck...mommy can add it to her decor in the family room.

15. And, of course, give him some much needed good reading for in his sled~!

16. And just for a keepsake;) Take a picture of those red rosy cheekers before "wee" bitty one year old goes for his nap!

We were definitely sleddin' in style!

A Sponge Mop...

Greyson has found a new fondness and it's with my sponge mop. Don't know how or why. He saw it sitting in the laundry room a couple days ago and now whenever he sees it, he does not want to part with it. Ya know, even though the kid got a "gazillion" presents for Christmas if we try taking this thing away from him...he goes all haywire and throws a fit!!!

Some sledding fun!

Well, Christmas Break is officially over! It was a wonderful break and a very memorable christmas with Grey! We also managed to fit in a little sledding time and Greyson LOVED it! I mentioned Grey got a sled for Christmas, more like a snow tube and it goes really fast. We went down behind grammy and Papa Ernat's house and we had lots of fun. Livy joined us too. I could not believe how much fun they had and I was able to get some gorgeous pics outside in the snow. I love snow pictures.

He liked goin' down the big hill...

14 Months

This is my stud muffin at 14 months! Check out that bod...those abs of steel...and those thighs...what a heart throb he is...

Greyson is 14 months old today. He is just a BABBLING machine and he will laugh at just about anything. We have been blessed with a happy/go-lucky type of kid! He walks everywhere and LOVES to play hide-n-seek. He also still loves music. No matter where we are or what we are doing the minute Grey hears some type of beat he starts moving his hips and shakin' it and now he has started to use his hands....It's pretty hilarious if you ask me.

As far as the babbling goes...recently it has been a sort of chant (if you will) it goes like this Greyson starts with "dada" and then nate answers with "Greyson" and this continues for quite some time and it just keeps going back and forth and once in a while he will use "mama";) He is such a daddy's boy right now. Honestly sometimes I think you little **** I bathe you...I feed you...I read to you...I tuck you in at night...I change your diapers (Nate does this too) but come on throw me a bone here Grey...lol! He does love his daddy. But, I know he knows and loves his mommy too! It's a feeling I get (it's hard to explain) he likes to look and see that I'm there but then he's off!

Greyson also loves his sippy cup. That's the first thing he gets in the morning...a nice ice cold glass of milk to start his day and he's a happy camper...that is of course after I change his diaper!

He waves hi and bye and I know he can say them too he just doesn't do it all the time. He signs please and thank you and is a pretty smart kid. He "signs" lots more but just not when I ask him to;) He knows where his hair and ears are for sure...the other ones not quite yet-he sometimes points to his eyes on cue and his nose...but I have said this before I think Grey knows a lot more than what he leads on sometimes. He loves to hold things on his own and eat on his own. I could clean my kitchen floor everyday right after Grey gets done eating:) However, Greyson has started to show us that he does have a temper. If things don't go exactly how Grey wants them to go he starts this high pitched squeal and turns it into a cry/tantrum. When asked what the lion or tiger says Grey says grrrrrrrrrr...but then we say what does the dog say and Grey says grrrrrrrr...lol! We are workin' on those!

He also LOVES gadgets and anything electronic. He still loves to walk around the house with daddy's cell phone and if you try to pass him by with a fake phone...LOOK OUT! He knows-they always know (why do kids know the fake ones?) My dad tried giving him his old cell phone the other day (he just took the battery out) so it was still a "real" cell phone but Grey had a fit to say the least. He also thinks it's funny to play with the dvd player and remotes and turn the TV off especially at Papa Mike's house. Every time Grey walks by the TV at my parents house he decides to turn it off. Needless to say, Papa Mike and Uncle Alex don't always find this cute;) He can be a stinker!

He is blooming into a beautiful or should I say rad (yeah that sounds more boyish) little boy and has the personality to go with it. He can melt your heart...make you smile...mess your house....take your cell phone and remote...test your buttons...press those buttons...destroy your cupboards...He can just about do it all-hah! We love you Greyson! Happy 14 months BUD!

Here is a little video I took of Grey yesterday on New Years Day! He also let mommy and daddy sleep until 8am?!?!? whaaaaaa? Don't know how or why that happened. I am sure it was just a tease on his part.

Oh and just so you know on his tray that looks so appetizing after he smushed all his food up was a pancake and sausage link...it did look good at first;)

New Year's Eve 2009

We stayed in last night! But, even though we didn't go anywhere we still decided to celebrate the New Year in style!!! I put Grey in the top half of what he wore on Christmas Eve...he needed the bow tie! We had a fabulous meal. And when I say fabulous...Nate and I were too busy cutting up our crab legs that Grey talked for us the whole time. And when I say the whole time I mean the WHOLE time. It was kinda funny....Nate and I were too busy eating the delicious meal I had prepared so Greyson kept the conversation going! I wish I would have had the video camera going as well!

Here we are...gettin' ready to dig in!

This is what we dined on....they were sooooooooo good...

Mommy and Grey...

Then we were gettin' a little crabby...Grey's bed time was looming...

A little better

Happy New Year!
