Happy 5 month birthday Grayson! AHHH! I will say this every month and I say it every day, he is growing up too fast. If I could describe him in one word it would be HAPPY. All you have to do is look at him and his face lights up. He really does smile with his whole face and it is the sweetest thing! His two teeth are really shining and a third is just about to poke through. He's loving the baby food (all homemade of course) and so far he's tried carrots, broccoli, squash and sweet potatoes. I think sweet potatoes were his favorite. He's finally started to sleep better. In the last week we've had several nights of him sleeping from 8 PM to 4 AM. It's nice to get more than 4 hours of sleep per night but the problem is I usually don't get to go back to sleep after the 4 AM waking due to big sister waking up at 5 every morning!
On to Olivia. Now really, she is up sometime between 4:30 and 5:30 almost every morning! Although we fall asleep before 9:00 almost every night, I must say I get a lot done in the mornings before we have to leave. Since we have all of this extra waking time, she has a lot of time to make us laugh. This past weekend she was not wanting to take a nap and was playing in her room after we put her down for a nap. She started digging in her closet (she's learned how to open doors now so its a whole new ball game) and found some play dough she got for Christmas but we hadn't given to her yet. She came running out of her room and said, "I want to play with this" and we said "after you wake up from your nap you can, now go back to bed!" She comes back out of her room 2 minutes later with a different pair of pants on and says "I wake up! Now I want to play with that." We laughed and told her to go back to bed and she came out again 2 minutes later with a different pair of pants on and again says "I wake up!" This went on 2 more times before we were finally laughing so hard that we gave in. It was such a pretty day that we wanted to go outside anyway. We had the best weekend because the weather was in the 70s so we stayed outside a lot. We took the kids (and Luci) to the park and I just kept telling Michael "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." It just doesn't get any better than playing with your family on a pretty day outside!
I bought some decorations for her birthday party last week (I know, her birthday isn't until July but I LOVE birthday parties... besides the stuff was on sale). Olivia asked me what that stuff was I was buying and I told her it was for her princess party. Now every night before she goes to bed she tells us that she wants to go to her princess party. She's going to be waiting for a long time!
I've been neglecting the blog lately just because we stay busy all the time. Daddy-O came for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and we had a great time. There was an ice storm which kinda worked out nicely because I didn't have to go into work so I got to hang out with him and he got to stay an extra day because the roads were too icy for him to travel. Olivia LOVES playing with her Dado. It always makes it so hard when he leaves because she doesn't stop asking about him for several days. We have web cams now so we talk on the computer a lot which is nice because she gets to see him. That makes living so far way a little easier. Aunt Sissy and Uncle Jesse are coming in March and we can't wait to see them!
No offers on the house yet. We've now accepted that if it doesn't sell, it just wasn't meant to be and that is fine because God has provided everything (and more) for us and we'll be just fine here for another year or so. We're going to keep it on the market for a while longer and see what happens.
I must run to pick up the house and get ready for our Chick-fil-a play date!
