He's 9 months!

Okay so I'm about 4 days late. LOL Grayson Leon turned 9 months old on Sunday. He's been a grumpy baby lately. I think he's trying to cut his top teeth though. He doesn't sleep well, waking up intermittently throughout the night. I can't remember the last time I STTN. Hopefully soon though. ;o)

He likes his finger foods, eating cheerios, puffs, yogurt bites, cut up jarred fruits and veggies. I'm so glad he's doing better with food. He still takes about two naps a day, sometimes a short third one as well. He makes fishy faces with me and he loves when I play Patty Cake with him, he always likes to be sang to and will try to sing along! :o) He really loves his jumper and sometimes will jump himself to sleep!! lol He's still cruising everywhere, but has no desire to stand alone. Every time daddy calls he asks me if his little man is walking yet. lol

Then there is Brayden, who is yes, still getting in trouble. Only once last week though, but he's also not listening at home. He's a sweetheart really, if he'd just realize the world doesn't revolve around him and what he wants. The other night he brought me Raylee's American Girl doll and he said, "Look mommy, I made her pretty." When I looked he'd put a necklace on her and a headband in her hair as well as PAINTED her toenails and eye shadow. The eye shadow was nail polish. I didn't fly off the handle because I don't think he realized that he had done anything wrong. He was very proud of himself for making her pretty I could tell. BUT, I made it clear to him that he could not put nail polish or markers or anything else on a doll. Especially a doll that didn't belong to him. His sister was none to happy with Jo's makeover. Hopefully it will all come off!! Anyway, here's a pic of Jo's makeover.

Finally, Raylee had her first soccer game last Saturday. It was raining and/or drizzling the whole time not to mention cold! So, the boys and I stayed in the van and watched them play. You couldn't tell she was cold at all. She played so hard! They all did. The game ended in a tie of 0 - 0! LOL The coach told us that the yellow team we played was the top team last fall. So we held them off!! ;o) She was so excited afterwards and her ears were bright red because she couldn't remember to pull her cap back down over them. lol I'm SO glad she's enjoying soccer so much and I hope her love for it continues.

It's About Time!

Yes, I know. I haven't been here in forever. I'm totally slacking on my blog. I will try to do better!

First off, Joel just left on another job Friday. This one should be around 5 weeks. The kids are already missing daddy. I doubt if we'll get to go see him on Spring Break since Raylee is in soccer now and Aunt Britt is expecting twins. If MIL goes I'd hate to leave her here alone in case something did happen. I guess we'll just have to see.

Anyway, so I said Raylee is doing soccer and she's loving it. Our first game will be this Saturday. They'll be so cute playing! I hope it's nice, but I think it's going to be a cool day, and the game starts at 10 AM.

Brayden has been getting a trouble a little bit more at school. Not sure what to do about it, but I need to figure something out soon!

Grayson is doing well, he's pulling up and cruising along the couch. He falls quite a bit and I can't always be there to catch him. He still doesn't like the baby food much so we have started trying some finger foods, and he's learning to eat them pretty good. Still likes his squash though. ;o) He gets into everything, has two teeth, and big smiles!

I'm waiting for my friend Rachel to text me because she's having her twins today!! That is why I'm probably a bit scatter brained. ;o)

Here's a few pics!!
