Things have been pretty calm around the Butler House lately... other than the night Greyson decided to pull an all-nighter. He had a terrible cough and moved from his bed, to our bed, then I sat with him in the recliner and I finally put him back in his bed for a few hours of sleep until our morning alarms started going off. While in the recliner we decided to turn on one of his favorite movies to get him to calm down. He LOVES Buzz Lightyear, so he ended up watching Toy Story 3 wide-eyed from 2am to 3am! Finally he crashed and we all got a couple hours of sleep.  

Wearing Daddy's cap.

Jeans over pajamas... this is what happens when you have a munchkin "helping" fold laundry.

Not a happy camper!

Sitting at the table like Momma and Daddy.

Another finger paint masterpiece.

This kid loves corn on the cob!

Sitting in the dump truck (just like Lotso from Toy Story). He's definitely growing - his hiney got stuck and the bed of the truck lifted when he tried to stand up. 

Let's Rodeo, San Antonio!

The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is in full swing. Last Sunday, my sister and her family joined us for a fun day at the rodeo. We walked the grounds and livestock barns before the rodeo and performance by Pentatonix. Greyson loved seeing the cows up close and "mooing" at them. The rodeo was right in the middle of Greyson's usual nap time, and he held out as long as possible, but finally crashed during the bull riding, the last event. I took him into the bar/lounge area where it was a little bit quieter during the Pentatonix concert, but he soon woke up and was ready to go again.

One tired lil cowboy.

Ready for the Valentine's Day party at daycare.

A few of Greyson's Valentine's Day cards I made for his classmates.

Licking ranch dressing off your plate is much better than dipping veggies in it!

18 Months Old

Greyson hit the 18 month-mark on January 9 and had his well-child visit a few weeks later. He's been talking up a storm within the last few weeks and seems to learn at least one new word a day. Greyson and I were working on learning "Spurs", then Blake sabotaged our lesson when we moved on to "Go Spurs Go". He'll repeat just about anything you ask him to say (so be careful what you say!). He can point out and say body parts and squints every time he says "eyeeesss". He knows several animal sounds, and I think the chicken's "bock bock" sound might be his favorite. He LOVES to dance and help Momma and Daddy (unload the dishwasher, throw things in the trash or recycle bin, put laundry in the dryer). He's our little Big Helper! He also likes to help me when I dress him. I got a report that he took his pants off three times in one day at daycare. He hasn't done this at home or since then at daycare, so I don't know what go into him. Silly boy!

So far, he's not really a picky eater. He likes bananas, chicken, backstrap, sweet potatoes, cucumber slices and even carrots, with a little ranch dressing, of course! He weighs 26 pounds 1.5 ounces (73rd percentile) and is 34 inches tall (90th percentile). He wouldn't sit still during these measurements, so they may be a tad off.

He loves his "back back".

He loves the swings at the park and cried when we had to leave!

Just a few recent happenings...

Greyson testing out his new sleeping bag from Nana and Papa.

We went to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse to celebrate Blake's birthday. Greyson had ketchup for the first time and discovered he didn't even need to eat the chicken or french fries to eat the ketchup. He was basically using a french fry as a spoon for the ketchup. Gross!

We finally got some sunshine to enjoy a wagon ride around the block.

Greyson loves his new "back back"! He didn't want to put it away at bedtime.

Dump truck races down the hallway for these two kids.

Butler Christmas

We celebrated a late Christmas with the Butlers in Rockwall the first weekend in January. The whole crew was there (plus Bonnie and Jason's lil bun in the oven!!).  We opened presents Saturday morning and cooked, ate and played the rest of the day. After an early dinner we all went to visit Blake's Granny. I think she loved seeing the kiddos and was entertained by them (and us as we tried to keep them under control!).

Opening presents with Wyatt and Greyson.

Buddies!

One more hug for Papa before leaving on Sunday morning.

Greyson's Wild Dance Moves

This kid loves to dance! He shakes his lil booty to anything that even slightly resembles a song, TV commercials included. One day while Blake was cleaning the truck, Greyson decided to hop in the driver's seat and get his groove on. His taste in music obviously needs some guidance, but he knows a beat when he hears it!
