Boys and Girls.....

So since I am blessed with both a boy and a girl I wanted to explain my experiences between the two...

Early Sunday morning bed snuggles...

Girl: sweet girl snuggles right up and falls back asleep right before whispering she loves you in my ear

Boy: head butts you in the face until you wake up

Coffee table decor....

Girl: ignores them

Boy: pulls them off the table, throws them on the ground, and pukes on them 

Assist with help up after falling....

Girl: grabs my hand and kisses it thanking me for help

Boy: bits my hand as I help him up

Baby Gates....

Girl: no need for those

Boy: I'm pretty sure he is confined to an 8x8 section of the living room

As I am writing this blog....

Girl: quietly watching her favorite show

Boy: just broke a decorative candle onto the floor

Catch up!

Lots has been going on since our little lake vacation...like another trip to the lake next week! More to come on that future adventure. 

Dominic update: 

20lbs

Feeds himself his own bottle 

Loves cheerios, mandarin oranges, graham crackers, and ice cream

Almost walking! He crawls and stands up on everything but won't let go yet

Into everything! His favorite things to get into are dog food/water, door stoppers (putting the cap in his mouth), vacuum cords, and electrical outlets - super safe

Still talking all the time and can shake his head no! 

He is sleeping really well with 2 naps a day. 

We just got over another ear infection so he is back to his good sleeping habits

He has 6 teeth! 

Clarabelle update: 

She is almost potty trained! She does really well at home with no accidents but isn't quite comfortable going potty in public

She has been very sweet lately and is becoming a good listener 

She says over and over again that Bobo is her best friend! 

Three's a crowd or Three's company?

This past week we ventured once again to our favorite getaway spot in Missouri...Table rock lake! However, we invited Mr. Grayson along this time for his first ever "cation" aka vacation. There are so many things that I look back at and just have to laugh at...like trying to tackle 2 potty training toddlers while on a boat. Of course they BOTH just had to go #2 within minutes of each other (I'll leave your imagination up to you but picture me in the lake "emptying" out their swimming suits). Another was our very own Clarabelle falling right over the boat into the "sea"! One memory that is not as funny to Paul as it was to me was my terrible packing skills...I tend to over pack by about 6 days.

Although our Plan A often turned into Plan
G it never got us down! There is always plenty to do and memories to make. So was Three A Crowd??? Not one bit! We were overjoyed to have Three kiddos as company on our little adventure.
