My baby's getting big already




I can't really believe how fast Greyson is growing. Everyone told me he would but I still can't believe it. Yesterday, I went though all of his clothes and took things out to make more room. I took out newborn and 0-3 months. Some of them looked so small. I would hold them up and say to myself "Was he really that tiny?" I can't believe it, but he was. I am not upset about Greyson growing so fast. It almost takes you by surprise though. I have told myself from day 1 that I will cherish these baby moments because one day I'll wish I had them back. He's changed so much in 4 months. When I look at his birth pictures I don't even recognize him. The good thing about him growing is the fun things he does every day. His smiles are so contagious. I love my baby boy and I thank God for him all the time. How can I have another one now, won't it take love away from him? My Mom wouldn't be happy about that. I have to have another one in her eyes. And, I know I probably will. But, how do you split so much love up between more than one?

A wee bit of heaven

Drifted down from above

A handful of happiness

A heartful of love


A mystery of life

So sacred and so sweet

The giver of joy

So deep and complete.


Precious and priceless

So lovable too

The worls'd sweetest miracle

Baby, it's you.

Closing out 2006



Well, before you know it 2007 will be here. I just want to say I had an amazing year. I had a healthy little boy on August 25th 2006. That will be the best thing of all times but that's how I will close out my year. A lot of great new things will happen to me in 2007 with Greyson growing so fast. He is trying to laugh. He has this cute little 1/2 laugh going on right now, and I swear he's singing when I sing. It's so precious. He just stares at me and coos. Oh my gosh I could just squeeze him up.




I have a few New Years Resolutions this time. I will try to lose weight, keep my house cleaner, and try to work more hours. Finally, I will try to get to church more then once every couple of months. But, if none of that happens it won't be the end of the world.


I hope that all of my friends and family feel good about closing this chapter in their lives and are excited to open up a new one. Have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Breathing Treatments


I took Greyson in to get his 4 month shots today and found out that he has a respiratory infection and it's bad enough to need breathing treatments. So, I have to do a breathing treatment every 4 hours for the next week. I was just in there Saturday and he just sounded stuffy. This time it was actually something she could hear in his chest. So, we did a breathing treatment of Albuterol in the nebulizer. He seemed like it was so fun. He just kept looking at me with that mask on his face and smiling. So, it made me feel a little bit better. She came in and checked him after the treatment and noticed a big difference when she checked his chest again.

After all of that, it was time for his shots. I can't watch them do it. I was upset all day at work thinking about having to take him to get them. The worst part is that he's in a great mood and smiling and then all of a sudden these two nurses come in and stab him at the same time. So, 2 shots on each leg. After they were done with the 1st round, I could just hear it take his breath away. His face was beat red and he couldn't even cry it had him so worked up. Then it was time for another round. I felt so sorry for him. I just scooped him off the table as soon as they were done. I kept saying, "Awww, what did those nurses do to you?" He never did respond, LOL.


On a good note, he is 17 lbs already and she said he is proportioned well. She wants me to start feeding him rice every night so he can get a fuller belly before bedtime. Then in 2 weeks it's baby food time. We have to start with veggies. So, today I made a special trip and bought some peas and carrots. I will let you know how that goes later!!!

Poor poor Greyson


Last night wasn't a good night for Greyson or Mommy. He has a cold that just started and he can't breathe. He's coughing a lot, and his poor left eye looks like he has some infection in it. It's hard watching your little sugar go through that. Anyway, I took him to the DR this morning and he has a little cold but doesn't need antibiotics for it. I have to put Ocean spray in his nose. She said he doesn't have pink eye it's just from his stuffy nose. I hope he gets better really fast. As I'm typing this, Minnie is licking his hand off so he's content looking at her like what the hell are you doing? I snapped a picture of it really quick for you too see!!!

Two more days!!!



First of all, RACHEL is going to be having her baby anytime now!!! Good Luck Rachel with that. It will be so wonderful to experience. Soon you will have your first glimpse of heaven in your arms!!! And, I just know it's a girl!!!

Christmas Eve is in 2 days and Greyson will get to open his very first presents, or his mommy will be for him. Last night I took Cher to Chesterfield mall to get her last presents that she needed. Then we walked past the popcorn place and she nearly YANKED my arm off trying to get me to go in there. It did smell awesome. So, we got some yummy hot caramel popcorn. Straight out of the popper!!! Mmm mmm good! I could've just asked for 3 pounds of lard to place directly on my arse and thighs, but they didn't sell that.

Hope you have all of your shopping done!!! Have a great Christmas!
