Greer's 1st Birthday!

CAKE IS GOOOOOD!

As you can see Greer had a wonderful time at his first party.

He enjoyed the friends and family, presents and of course the cake.

It was such a nice time for all of us.

I think Greg and I were so amazed at his patience when opening gifts.

It is very strange to think that this beautiful being came into our lives a year ago. It seems like he has alway been a part of us. He is so curious and observant. He is also very funny and outgoing but he tends to try to be shy when first meeting people. It doesn't last long. I can say that this has been the most rewarding yet challenging year of my life.

I think from here on out each one will bring its own challenges and rewards. I can't wait!

Happy First Birthday, Greer!!!!!!

Thoughts from July

So here we are. I have made it thru the first trimester of pregnancy! Yeah me! (Greg and the kids).
Greer is fastly approaching his first birthday! We are celebrating his actual birthday at the beach! I can't wait-Gulf Shores here we come! When we return, we are having our friends and family over for cake and ice cream. What else I am not sure yet-maybe something will hit me at the beach.
I am amazed at how fast this time has gone by. I know everyone tries to tell you. He is trying to be brave enough to take a few steps. Maybe by his birthday.
The funny or not so funny stage that he's entered-screaming and the tantrums on the floor. Yes our son has mastered the art of throughing oneself to the floor while crying and looking up to see if anyone is looking before carring on! Who knew it happen this early?!
The cute stage is that he is really wanting to say words-bye-bye, Da Da and E(which we think might be Sophie). Not so much for the Mama.
He is so very happy and loves to smile and laugh. His smile can make me laugh even at the most inappropriate times. Like when he is throwing dinner over the side of his tray to feed Sophie while screaming EEEEEEE! Moments I really hope to never forget.
I am glad that he will have a sibling to play with but I am also afraid of the trouble these two are going to cause and get into! What have we done to ourselves?
My sister in law assures me I will be fine if I can make it to two years. Cocktail hour may be instated after I finish breastfeeding.
No, seriosly, we are so very blessed and couldn't ask for more in life. A happy marriage full of love, a healthy happy baby boy and another baby to join us. Can you really want more out of life?
