Greyson Andrew...some more

Awesome to see this kid's working on some thighs already! Gotta love it...

Four Weeks Old!

Here's the little man on his fourth week birthday! He celebrated by heading to Kohl's with me and Reago...eating..and napping (in the downstairs....huge rain storm...thunder and lightning....AGAIN!) Last night he made somewhat of an attempt to sleep through the night. He woke me up (big time grunter) but then didn't want to eat...too sleepy. I consider it a start!

First day of First Grade...which was actually Monday

Brooks with Mrs. Martin on the first day of school....he comes home each day with a huge grin from ear to ear. I think he's likin' it...although it's tough to get much info out of a six year old boy. I need to make friends with one of the girls in his class...they tell all! :)

Yesterday while I was feeding Greyson (aka nursing) Reagan had her dolls out and was playing with them. I looked up to see her lifting her shirt and tucking it into her chin. She had a look of great concentration as she then pinched together her belly button area..and proceeded to "feed" her dolly. She told me she was thirsty........

Brooks.....

Brooks told Geoff yesterday that sometimes his "toots are hot!"......he wondered if they were "fever toots?"

We're a disgusting bunch.

Saturday Afternoon Snooze

This is what I came downstairs to this afternoon....couldn't resist the photo-op!

Two WEEKS in.....

Yes...yesterday Greyson was officially two weeks old. I had visions of dressing him up all cute-like in some adorable little outfit and posting it. Well..I didn't.
Anyways...here's an update, sans photo:

He eats like...every two hours..sometimes three.

He poops aLOT! and wets all the time, too.

He still continues to make ridiculous faces. For instance, he puckers up his lips alll the time, and looks like he's going to kiss something, or like maybe he's practicing whistling? All the while, he has the most serious look on his face it's a little sobering. Brooks and Reagan continue to ADORE him! Brooks held him for about 45 min. yesterday. He just kept looking at his little hands and body..and telling him how cutey he was! Reagan likes to give him lots of pats..but only wants to hold him for seconds.......cause he's sooo "heavy"!

He's a good little kid. Wish he liked his pacifier. (makes him gag!...what's up with that?) I just can't believe it's already been two weeks (and one day)

Friday night "tent night" at the Taylor household. And Geoff's OFF this weekend! things are lookin' good.

Brooks and Reagan with Greyson

Just in case anyone was wondering. Yes, Greyson IS the easiest baby we've had so far. I can't believe how blessed we are to have a HEALTHY and happy baby. Sounds cliche....but when you've had different...you see where the cliche came from! Today's the first day Geoff had to return to work..and of course they started him off with a bang......24 hour shift. Those dirty rats! So far, so good. Reagan's decked out in her dragon costume..and Brooks is wearing his cape (also known as the throw from the upstairs couch). he's some sort of Rescue Hero.....or Spiderman guy...or something I don't quite "get" just yet. The Tigger movie's almost over...and I guess I'd best get upstairs cause Senor Greyson will soon be waking for some eats!
