Boys Oh Boys!

Greyson is 9 months old today! Wow, I can't believe in just 3 short months he will be one year old! He has got to slow down...but doesn't seem to be following my request! :( Each phase/age/milestone only gets better. He's at a fun age right now because so many things can make him smile. Of course he gets worked up about things when he's hungry, doesn't want to be in his carseat any longer, or wants me to hold him, but overall he loves to play, play, play. He's discovering more and more each day and he can't be left alone for any time at all because he's very curious. He keeps us on our toes! He's pulling up and cruising the furniture. Just the other day he was standing up holding onto my knee with only one hand. I have a feeling it won't be long before those first steps take way! He continues to adore his big brothers and enjoys watching their every move. He loves it when they come barreling in his room when he first wakes up in the morning or from a nap. As you will see in a picture below, they love to get into his crib with him! Greyson had tubes 2 1/2 weeks ago and they have been so wonderful! After 4 months of not sleeping through the night consistently, he is back to the great sleeper he was for the first 4 months of life. Yay! He has 3 teeth and is continuing to work on more. He still loves to eat! :)



Scott is still my sweet, funny Scott. He never ceases to say something funny EVERY day! He makes me laugh and he doesn't even mean to most of the time. I just love his sense of humor and the joy he brings to life. He is doing great in school and enjoys telling me about all the fun things they do. Last week was circus week and he got to dress up like a clown. We created our own clown costume with some face paint and a bow tie that Tyler and I made. There is a picture below of what he looked like! Scott's favorite things right now are playing the Wii (he is so good at it and cracks us up!) and riding his bike. Pop is trying to convince him to take the training wheels off because we all feel like he's ready, but he's still a little aprehensive.




Tyler is still my sweet, creative Tyler. He is doing great in school and is about to have some neat opportunities come his way. He is one of 7 students in his school that gets to participate in a special project with the technology specialist. He is really excited! He is also taking art lessons afterschool one day a week and loves it! Drawing is a huge passion of his. Tyler will soon be 7 years old at the end of March. He is getting excited about the Scooby Doo Baseball party we are planning for him. He is growing up so fast! Another big love of Tyler's is dogs. He and I are currently working on creating a book about Dogs A-Z. He wants a dog so bad, but there are some things holding us back. Tyler only has 2 allergies and one of them happens to be pet dander. But, hopefully in the near future we can have an outside dog. Katie and Mark have a dog and yesterday they came for a visit. Tyler was in heaven! He walked her on the leash, played fetch with her, and just adored her! It was so sweet! She is a short haired dog (a pointer) so his allergies didn't seem to act up, yay! Below is sweet picture of them.

Wow, they are growing way too fast! It is so funny how much alike our children are. Zach and Luke also love to see Molly first thing in the morning and after naps too. I will also find them in her crib (especially Luke).. Greyson will be motoring around so soon...(Zach was walking by 9 months)..Can't wait to see pictures of Greyson's first step!! Love your updates!

Lea your pictures are so cute! I love the clown picture of Scott and the picture of a three boys in the crib is great!! Greyson is 9 months old...really? WOW!! He'll be in Sunday school with Joe and I in no time walking around with the other kids. :) We can't wait to have him. I saw your comment on our blog about the circus. This is the first year we've taken Brady. We asked my dad for tickets as part of Brady's Christmas present. :)

Love, love, love all the pictures! Goodness, our babies are growing up so fast! I can't believe that Greyson isn't in the baby nursery and pretty soon we'll be right behind you...oh wait, we are! AH!
Looking forward to getting together soon!
Seriously, I was just thinking about how different this summer will be...with two little ones toddling around the bowling alley! :)
