5 Months Old!

I can't believe how fast time is going by. I know I always say that but REALLY~ It DOES!!! Greyson is doing a little better with the rolling over in the night thing but he will still do it about 1-2 times. Better than 6-7 times right? : 0 ) Hey, I will take whatever sleep I can get. He can now roll over both from back to tummy and tummy to back although now he finds himself stuck by the couch or wall... He still really is a good baby but he has decided he likes being held a lot and will get kind of fussy when you put him down sometimes. Rich has a harder time with this than I do. I have to remind him of how mellow he is compared to some babies and that we are lucky he is so good natured. But then again, I like holding and snuggling him all the time and Rich likes to play with him for a bit and then go play the guitar so...Maybe I am spoiling him. I might regret this someday, but for now...I am just trying to enjoy each little minute. He has 2 GREAT big sisters who love him SO SO much! Saige was at school when we took this but they (Saige and Misha) are both such good helpers with their "Bubba"!
And let's just say, BEFORE drool.........
And AFTER......Not a flattering picture of myself but I thought it was funny. I am just glad that it wasn't spit up. I can handle the drool falling in my mouth quite a bit better than I would have the other stuff...
My cute little munchkins...Sometimes they drive me crazy but I love them to pieces!!!

HELPPP MEEE!!!

As I have previously posted, Greyson is rolling over now. He is very good at rolling from his back to his tummy, which the Dr. tells me is harder for them to do than tummy to back, BUT he can't seem to figure out how to get from his tummy to his back. The hard thing is that now he has started to roll over in his SLEEP. And that means that he gets upset and wakes up crying because he doesn't like to be on his tummy so it wakes him up MAD and he can't just roll back over so I have to keep waking up to go in and roll him back over to his back! So, I am extremely tired...I thought yay! we are sleeping through the night now but now, I am getting up like 5 or 6 times a night to flip him back onto his back. I have tried rolling blankets up and wedging them beside him so he can't roll but he finds a way somehow...So, what's a tired mommy to do???
At least he is so very cute...Hopefully he will figure out to roll back over soon or learn to like sleeping on his tummy!!!

Stuff and more Stuff...

We haven't been doing anything too exciting lately but I still wanted to post some pictures of it. So here it is. We went to Ryan's park which my kids LOVE! We told them we would stop and play for a little bit but that when it was time to go there could be no crying. Well as you can probably guess, there were a few tears shed still, but to my surprise, it was Misha not Saige. So way to go Saige!!!
Greyson liked the swing. I was trying to keep the sun out of his eyes so you get my nice shadow in the background there.
Misha was in the middle for a second and then ran off to go down the slide. She wouldn't hold still long enough for me to get a picture of the 3 of them.
Rich jumped up and down on the back of this boat bouncing the girls around. He went all out and even made boat noises for them. What a great dad! They loved it!
It was PEACH DAYS last weekend. Todd and Jade were gone Friday night and Jade's little sister Marin was here watching her kids, so I went and picked them up and brought them down to the junior parade and then we took them on a few rides. Saige was too scared to go on this roller coaster but Porter, Marli and Misha went on it. You can barely see Misha's face and part of Marli's head. Marin and I were laughing so hard every time they came whipping around the corner they all had their mouths wide open screaming as loud as they could. They LOVED it and wanted to do it again!

They also loved this bounce house, until the guy told them to get out cuz their turn was over...
Sorry Jade but it was too funny. This kid is always picking his nose. He is so cute though. I'm just glad he didn't eat it......this time!!!
I think my kids were tired cuz Marli was trying to give Misha a hug and she was just not having it.

Greyson has found this high pitched little squeal that he likes to use A LOT! It is so funny to listen to him using his voice! Maybe he will be a singer like Daddy!!!

Saige has this obsession with wanting to hold him standing up...I think it makes her feel big, but I don't like letting her do it because, as you can see, I am afraid of her dropping him. She is getting better though. I have had to teach her how to do it the right way and I now find her moving him from one spot to another just so she can carry him while "standing up".
And then there is princess Misha. This little girl wants to wear a dress EVERY SINGLE DAY. Each morning she will tell me, "I want to wear a princess dress mommy." And she gets upset if I try and make her wear something else. So, Thanks to Julie for giving me all of Pyper's hand me downs and all of Saige's old dresses too or she wouldn't have quite the selection of princess dresses to choose from each day. I have to admit that I kind of like that she is so princess-ey. Saige never got into the princesses too much, so Misha is making up for it in a major way. It's cute :0) She loves to twirl and dance around in her pretty dresses.
And I just can not resist this little sweet finger sucking boy! He melts my heart!!!

The Doctor

Many of you may know about Jade's crush on her OBGYN. I actually don't think this is right as she is married to my brother Todd. I have yet to hear Todd mention any crushes he has on other women. He loves his wife with all his heart, just as the church teaches him to do. He is a faithful Later Day Saint. Jade claims it is all in good fun, no harm intended, so I thought it was interesting when I found these pictures floating around the internet.
