The gifts just keep comming!

Well, if you work hard enough and long enough good things will come. We are now expecting #2!!! It took eight months to become pregnant with Greer and it only took two months for this blessing. We are so very blessed (and hopeful) with another baby to enter our family. It seems, like our friends, we are going from a family of three to four. What a wonderful blessing!!! I will be sure to update as news becomes available.
Greer is now pulling up on everything! He amazes us at how fast he is growing!

Mother's Day

Today is the first official Mother's day at our home. It seems just a bit sunnier, the air is just a bit nicer today and seeing the face of my son makes everything in the world just right. I waited so long it seems for this day to apply to me-more than a celebration of my mother-who by the way is a wonder woman in my eyes. I am taking it easy and enjoying the company of my mother in law and husband. Later we will be joined by my mother, great aunt and my neighbor, Linda for a luncheon cooked by Greg. All of these women are remarkable to me. They all have influence in my mothering. It is nice to be in the not so secret society called mother. I celebrate the fact that I myself have given life to the most extrodinary human that exsist in my world-Greer. There is not possibly a sweeter sound not yet heard-Momma. Til that moment I relish the gift that God has given to Greg and I for his safe keeping. Hail,Hail all the Mom's. I love you all.

9 Months

Greer turns 9 months tomorrow.
I am looking forward to the doctor visit because it assures me his growth is on track but I dread it because he gets shots. I think that is worse than getting one myself because he has no idea why it is happening.
So, all in the matter of a weekend, Greer has decided to sit up by himself and try to pull up on things. I am so excited and terribly afraid at the same time. I guess he is tired of being left behind by the big kids.
He is exclusively on table food. He will not tolerate anything remotely resembling baby food. He loves anything green-peas, green beans, spinach, sweet snap peas and avocado. He also loves to chew. It is the funniest thing. He either shaves it with his front teeth or gums it to death.
He also makes a great face doing it.
Because he has the eight teeth, and they are slow to move down, he takes great time to investigate with his tongue. If you have ever watched a dog eat peanut butter- it is similar.
He is just too cute-of course. I'm his mom! It has been the most wonderful jorney thus far.
