Grayson's 12 month checkup!!

Grayson and I drove to Baton Rouge yesterday for his 12 month checkup. He smiled and flirted with everyone he saw, except for the nurse who gave him the shot in his sweet little leg. He soon got over it and was back to his joyful self within seconds! Grayson got a wonderful report from the doctor.
At one year old he weighs 20 pounds 15 ounces and is 30 1/4 inches tall.
Grayson likes to run around the yard all day and play in his rock box. His vocabulary consists of Mama, Dada, Uh-Oh, and Da (Dog) and of course lots of babbling in between. He waves hello and bye bye and loves to clap for himself and say "yeah". He is enjoying his newfound independence but along with this comes the testing of all boundaries and the wills of men!

Paw Paw made this rock box for Grayson and it was the hit of the party!

The kids had a blast being pulled by Paw Paw in the wagon around the yard in big circles over and over and over again...Paw Paw was a very good sport :)
My mom was very much in the party spirit! She wrapped Grayson's birthday gifts to look like barns (complete with a picture of him on each package)! Go grandma Dee!!!

Grayson's 1st Birthday!!!

This is the invitation we sent out for Grayson's farm-animal themed birthday party (the blue lines are where we marked out our address :).

This was my first time to bake a cake and have it look like something other than a cake! Grayson requested a barn cake for his party...so here it is. The 26th was Eric's actual birthday, so we decided to celebrate both birthdays that day. I decided to bake Eric a chocolate cake for the party.
Our breakfast room table was decorated as the "party table" where the kids and their parents sat. I had a cow print table cloth and farm animal hats for the children (the only problem was that the heads in our family run large and the hats didn't fit!...but they made cute table decoration :)

Part of Grayson's birthday present from us was his cute farm -animal smocked outfit.

It's A Girl!!!

Today Grayson found out that he will be getting a little sister. Her name is Mary Gibson Greene. She is healthy and we are expecting to see her around September 16th. Grayson and Mary Gibson will be 17 months apart. So from a very young age he will learn to be a gentlemen and she will be his little lady. We may be starting them off with too high of an expectation, yet it's good to aim high. :-)
More pics are coming soon.

It's Easter time!!!!!

Grayson loves the Easter bunny! He can't wait for him to hop on over to Centreville to fill his Easter basket and hide some eggs in the yard!

Hey Everyone! I've Got News!!

Happy Valentine's Day!
