January's Photo a Day Challenge

Last month I participated in Fat Mum Slim's 'January Photo a Day Challenge'

I made it 26 days into the challenge which is big for me! I'm of course participating in February's and I'm hoping to make it through the entire month. {Luckily it's a short month.}

I think everyone should join in on the fun and link up with Fat Mum Slim! The themes are fun and you don't need a fancy schmancy camera. I've taken 100% of my challenge photos with my phone!

Here are my 26 days of photos for January...

It's fun to take a look back on January. It seemed to just FLY by! I'm excited to see what February brings.

My Fave Pic Today

I love this pic of Hailey and her baby brother. It's one of my faves I've uploaded this week!

Love the pic bling? Jess over at IROCKSOWHAT has tons of these amazing designs and they're FREE!! I downloaded the ones I used in this pic HERE. {Check them out! ^_^}

A Story By Joshua

My kid's a comedic genius. I laughed until I cried when I read this. This is only a rough draft, he's got a much longer version complete with details.

Gah, I love him...and his crooked smile...

6 Months

Sweet Baby Grayson! How can you POSSIBLY be 1/2 a year old already?

You have grown before my eyes, seemingly overnight! There are often times I feel you should be so small, I look at your clothes and can't imagine them fitting you. Yet, you put them on and often they're too small!

I can't begin to describe what a joy you are. You bring SO much happiness to our family. You light up our day with your laughter and smiles. Your big brother and sisters just adore you. You make our family better. You make our family whole. Complete.

It seems like yesterday we were having your newborn photos done, and today we were in the same studio having your 6 month pictures done! Dear sweet boy, please slow down. Just a little bit! You're such a big boy now!

The past couple of weeks have seriously been a whirlwind of activity for you. You've sat up for the first time, gotten on all fours, you rock, roll, squirm, worm, pull, push, and manuever yourself around our house. Most recently you've pushed yourself into a sitting position on your own. Nothing is safe and you have a knack for finding the tiniest things on the floor. I've been having to vacuum more than ever, and even still you find things I never even saw.

You've tried several more foods, but you still will not eat much. So far all you've liked is pickles and ice cream. Scratch that, you LOVE pickles. You had your first yesterday and wouldn't give it back. You gnawed on it for several minutes before dropping it. You never once even made the sour pickle face so many babies make!

You've celebrated your first Thanksgiving, and your first Christmas! Santa was good to you! You really play with toys now, and our living room has become your playroom. You "crawl" around playing and having fun, it's so fun to watch. {The jumperoo is still your favorite though.} You're teething like a joker and I'm waiting for those first teeth to pop through. You went from sleeping 10 hours straight to getting up twice to getting up 4 times and now you're back to 8 hours or so. I really can't complain! We had a few rough weeks but we all survived! :)

You're beginning to have stranger anxiety, which isn't fun. You're also beginning to have separation anxiety. DOUBLE not fun.

Everyone says you're SO serious. And I'll admit, you can be quite the serious little boy, but at home? With those you're closest to? You're SO happy! You light up and it lights up everyone around you. Your smile and joy is so infectious!

I love you sweet Grayson James. Love you more than you'll ever know. Thank you for making me your mama! Happy half birthday sweetheart!

She's Beautiful...

My daughter Hailey was seriously born with every physical attribute I've always wanted for myself. She's basically the complete opposite of me and undeniably the most gorgeous little girl I've ever laid eyes on.

I've always hated my super thin, fine hair. She was blessed with thick, gorgeous locks.

I've always hated my thin, barely their eyebrows. She was blessed with beautiful thick, shapely eyebrows. {And yet somehow managed to bypass the dreaded unibrow!}

Eyeslashes? I have to put on about 529 layers of mascara before my eyelashes can be seen to the naked eye. My lashes are long, but they're basically clear. And thin. Hailey's are the opposite. Her lashes are thick and black and loooong and gorgeously beautiful.

She's bursting at the seams with beauty and spunk. The definition of pretty, gorgeous. I am so blessed to be this beautiful little girls mama.

Thankful Day 12

Today I am thankful for this boy...

He brought me breakfast in bed yesterday. He's NINE YEARS OLD and brought his mama breakfast in bed! He's going to make an AWESOME husband and father one day. He blows me away.

Yesterday was the best day. Of course any day that starts out with breakfast in bed is going to rock. :) We had a yummy breakfast of pancakes {frozen, come on he's 9}, I got up and added some scrambled eggs. Then we hung on the couch and vegged out to a few first season episodes of Vampire Diaries. {He's one cool kid for putting up with his mom's taste in shows.} Then we packed up and headed out to hang with friends. After a few hours of Joshua playing with his friend Mikey, and myself hanging with Mikey's awesome mom Kay, we headed out to lunch. A mommy/son lunch at Monterrey, a super yum Mexican restaurant.

We came home and hung out, telling knock knock jokes, Joshua played with his baby brother, we laughed a ton. The perfect day ended with Dad and Leah watching Zookeeper.

Awesome day.

All because of one awesome kid.

I love you Joshua Brian!
