Camera Fun

We have been having so much fun taking pictures of Grayson with the new camera that Chris gave me for Christmas. We went to the park today and made Grayson "pose" for us. Here are just a few of his best shots.

New Year's Eve 2009

We spent this New Year's with our friends Courtney and Brian and their two little girls. Grayson and Peyton had a really fun time playing ring around the rosey. Grayson also loved to tackle Peyton and "hug" her, but Peyton wasn't so sure about this.

Chris has been off of work since Wednesday, and we have had a lot of great family time this week. We also did a lot to the house getting ready for the new baby. We are seven weeks away from the due date and are starting to get a little nervous about how we are going to handle two babies under the age of two!!!

Christmas 09

White Christmas in Dallas!

Christmas was wonderful this year! We were able to spend a lot of time with our family and friends and that made everything perfect. Grayson really enjoyed Christmas this year and had a blast opening all of his presents. The only thing he didn't like was Spike, the dinosaur. We had to put Spike away and will try again in a couple of months b/c right now Grayson is terrified of him!

We had Christmas lunch with Mimi and Daddy Mac, Uncle Freddy and Savannah, Aunt Eve and Jim, Uncle Jeff, and Grandpa and Grandma Watson. Grayson stayed up just long enough to say hi to everyone and then napped for most of the afternoon. He was able to open his presents from Mimi and Daddy Mac and Uncle Freddy. He loved his new Thomas the Train sets and has had a blast playing with his new baseball chair.

The day after Christmas we headed to Grammie and G-Paw's house and Grayson had fun opening the rest of his presents. He also got to swing with Grammie and see cows for the first time. He was certainly a spoiled little boy this Christmas!

This morning we had to take our dog, Riley, to the vet super early to get his ears cleaned. I had to pack up Grayson in the freezing cold weather and head out the door before he even had breakfast. So, for a treat, we stopped at dunkin donuts and then when to Mimi's house for breakfast after dropping Riley off. Grayson loves playing the piano at Mimi's house and gave us a beautiful concert! (haha)

So, I know it has been FOREVER since I last updated this blog. But, I am going to try and be better especially since we are expecting a new baby in a couple months. Grayson's little brother is due February 25, 2010!!! I included a few pictures from the last couple of months and will post some more recent ones after I have downloaded them to my computer.

Grayson Update:

Grayson is going through his terrible two's right now, only he is about six months early! Really, he is the sweetest little boy ever, but he is just starting to test his boundaries and see what he can get away with. Although, if you tell him NO, a meltdown usually follows. We are learning right along with him how to be patient yet firm parents. Some days he wins and some days we win. He has starting talking a lot and loves music more than anything else. He can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and the Elmo theme song. He truly takes after his Daddy in this, and we are convinced he is going to be a musical prodigy (haha).
