We miss you guys!!!

Little pistol

Greyson and I met Ryan for lunch so that we could pick up G's new car seats and then we went to Panera. This little guy was all over the place!! The puffs didn't even work! I'm surprised I had a second to take this picture but so glad I did! Its funny to look back at the times where things just don't go as planned!

While daddy is away...

...we will play!! Ryan went out of town for a bachelor party the second weekend of June so Greyson and I tried to keep ourselves busy. We went to the River Festival on Saturday with papa and nana. It was pretty hot so we tried some Dippin Dots for the first time!

G loved them!!

Hanging out with papa and nana!

On Sunday we went swimming!

By Sunday evening we were ready for daddy to be home!!

Happy 8 months, Greyson!

Wow! I can't believe you are 8 months old!! You just keep getting more and more fun everyday! Your little personality is hysterical and your cheeks are so kissable!!

This picture kills me...so ornery!

Here is what you have been up to:
-You are probably about 20lbs and you still wear size 3 diapers.
-You wear 9-12 month clothes and 12 month pj's.

-You still have about 5 bottles everyday (7,10,1,4 and 7).
-You have some oatmeal/fruit in the morning, veggie/fruit at lunch and veggie/fruit/protein at dinner. I tried making the meat for dinners and it was disgusting to puree so we just buy the jar for dinner time.
-You started drinking water out of sippy cups and really like it and you love Puffs! We love them too b/c they keep you busy for awhile especially at restaurants!!
-You still don't have any teeth! We love your gummy grin!

-You are still a really good sleeper!! You sleep from about 7-7:30pm to 6-6:30am.
-You take about 3 naps a day!
-You are super healthy and have not yet been sick. We definitely credit the grandma's and great grandma for keeping you during the week...we are so grateful!

-You love to give hugs and kisses. Your kisses are pretty slobbery b/c you keep your mouth open!
-You definitely know mommy, daddy and some family members and recognize when we walk in the room. You get so excited when daddy gets home from work...you kick and squeal!!
-You talk/babble all of the time! You love to say dadda and you said mama first but haven't really said it since.

-It's so fun to watch you play with toys! You are so curious and check them out and then try to put them in your mouth.

-You love to take baths and splash!!
-You went swimming for the first time this month and loved it!!

-You are so smiley and happy!
-You still LOVE peek-a-boo and patty cake.
-We will do just about anything to get you to belly laugh!

-You still love to stand and you pull up on everything!
-Your new trick is when I sit you in your crib you pull up to the side! You love standing up to the couch, tables, etc.

-You took your first steps holding onto our fingers on May 25th!!
-You don't have a lot of interest in crawling...from a sitting position you will get on all fours but then just rock and then fall on your belly.

Each month gets better and better and your little personality continues to come out! You are the best little guy and we love you like crazy!!

xoxo,
mommy and daddy

River Run and more swimming!

On Saturday, June 4th, Greyson and I joined the Boys & Girls Club young board and some kids at the River Run. It was steamy but we had a good time!
Cheese!

the whole gang

Gabe was tired after the race so jumped on for a ride!
So hot!

Later that day we decided to show daddy, nana and papa G's swimming skills!!

Swimming with Papa!!

Happy bubba!

June!!

The first week of June I went to Dallas for the B&GC Regional Youth of the Year competition with our very own Kansas Youth of the Year winner, Kiana! She did awesome and won quite a bit of scholarship money. Here she is right before her speech...I was so proud of her!

It was a long trip and I was so excited to get home! As soon as I got home I grabbed my suit and Greyson's suit and went to get some floaties b/c we were going to go swimming for the first time with my mom!!
So excited!!!

Greyson loved it!! He splashed, kicked his feet and chewed on my swimsuit strap! So fun!

xoxo,
Lindsey
