Chubba Bubba!

Greyson is 6 months old! Time is flying by me at warp speed, I feel that way sometimes anyway. These pictures are backward in the order I wanted them but I am too lazy to go back and fix it right now so sorry. We started feeding Greyson baby food finally. He started with carrots a couple days ago. He pulled the funniest face when he took the first bite and then after that he just downed that jar of carrots. It is funny watching him try to suck the food from the spoon. He is loving it though! We started giving him some rice cereal about a month ago. He pulled a funny face with that too but ate all that I gave him and wanted more!

These 2 cute girls take such good care of their baby "BUBBA". They are so loving to him and helpful to me! When they want to be helpful, that is....

At Greyson's 6 month check up he weighed 19 lbs. 12 oz. WOW! Thus, the title of this post, Chubba!!!! He is also 27 1/2 inches long. So that puts him in the 90% for both height and weight. He is getting so hard to carry around in his carseat and his head is at the top and his feet are at the bottom. I don't want to switch him to a different car seat yet though because he can't sit up very good by himself yet so I don't know what I would do when we are at the store getting groceries. Plus I like that if he falls asleep in his car seat while we are running errands, he can stay asleep in the carseat if I have to go in somewhere. So, we will have to see. Maybe Santa will bring him a new carseat...Ha Ha!! Or I just need to start lifting more weights so he is easier to carry around in his carseat.

We love this sweet boy! He is so fun to have around!!! He is starting to babble and making more "talking" sounds. It is so fun to listen to and the girls are always telling me what it sounds like he just said. I better start working on teaching him mama cuz I heard him saying the da da da sounds the other day....

Halloween Fun!

The girls couldn't wait to carve pumpkins so that is what we did for family night last Monday. They had fun each picking out what pumpkins they wanted for their very own. Including Rich!

Rich brought home some vampire teeth he got from his work and gave the girls these glow in the dark fangs! They were loving running around with these in and saying RARRR! Also going into the laundry room and closing the door so they could see them glow!

Cute little vampires don't ya think? Maybe we should move to Forks!!! Anyone else getting excited for the Twilight movie???

Bedtime Stories...

So tonight we were tucking the girls into bed and Rich has a story that he tells the girls when it is his turn to tuck them in that he just continues. That is how he ends it, the 2 mice named Squeakers and Niffy go on an adventure and then he ends it with "To be continued" leaving the girls in much anticipation, as you can imagine... Well, after he did his story, I started a new one and when that one was over Misha said "It is my turn now!" So, she begins, "Okay...How does it start again?" And I said, "Once upon a time." So she just ran with it, "Once upon a time there was a little butterfly and then there was a little girl and the butterfly asked the little girl, Do you want a ride? And the little girl asked the butterfly, Well, do you have seatbelts? And they flew all around and then, I want to be done telling the story now mom." "Okay Misha, That was a good story." Then we sang Twinkle and Child's prayer, said prayers and kissed them good night and as we shut the door leaving "just a crack" Rich and I went out in the living room and laughed and thought of how cute we think our kids are! I am so greatful for the happiness they bring to me with their sweet innocence and funny thoughts. I am greatful to be a mom!

Child's Prayer

This has been one of Saige's favorite songs to sing at bed time. I've been wanting to recorded it for a while with the kids and Tyra. So after conference tonight we recorded it and made a little vid of the kids singing. This vid features Saige, Misha and Tyra singing, Tyra playing piano and me playing guitar and bass. Enjoy.
