Greyson loves to dance! The first time we all saw this Chick-fil-A commercial, Greyson started breaking it down in the living room. We rewound it and he did it a second and a third time. He may be secretly watching reruns of Seinfeld because I think he's picked up some of Elaine's dance moves. Silly kiddo!



Greyson has been "reading" books on his own and fills in the blanks when we read to him. Here he is reading Goodnight Moon. He's saying "Goodnight kitten, good night brush, good night mouse, good night mush" (bowl full of mush for those who have not read it a thousand times!).

Greyson's New Buzz Bed

We recently decided it was time for Greyson to try out his new toddler bed. We dusted off the hand-me-down bed from Lilly and Hallie that had been sitting in our garage and washed the new Toy Story bedding that he received for his birthday. We tested the waters with a nap on Sunday and he did pretty good. He fell asleep right away, but when he woke up he was just sitting on the edge of the bed crying. That night, he was so excited to go lay on his new Buzz bed. He even wanted to go to bed early (as soon as he got out of the bathtub!) He did pretty good the first couple of nights, with only a little fussing when we laid him down. We are now in week two of the transition and he wakes up at least once during the night and then is up for the morning around 5am (he used to sleep until at least 6:30am). He comes into our room and requests milk and/or to watch Mickey or Nemo. We think he's getting us trained for his baby sister's arrival, but this momma and daddy are wore out!

 Working hard.
So excited to go to sleep in his Buzz bed for the first time! He has yet to actually sleep under the covers because he likes to see Buzz on the comforter.
 Greyson has figured out that Daddy will share his breakfast when he wakes up so early.

Snapshots

We have been busy, busy lately with the new house. I have managed to pack a few boxes here & there and Blake has been going to the new house almost every evening to do some touch-up painting, install new outlet covers and light switches, cabinet door handles and a few other small (but time consuming!) projects. Greyson has been a trooper, but definitely misses his daddy and lets us know about it! Here are a few snapshots from the past few weeks.

He set the Mickeys in the chair and plopped down in front of them to read a bedtime story.
Greyson found his old Bumbo chair while I was packing a few things in his room. He thought it was fun to sit in it, but kept getting stuck when he tried to stand up!
