Uncle Rusty and Danielle are here!

Today Uncle Rusty and Danielle came all of the way from Arizona to visit us! We are so excited to see them. They are going to stay with us until Monday so we will have almost 4 days with them! They also brought along Namma. She is going to stay with us so that Mommy and Daddy can go out for dinner tomorrow night with Uncle Rusty and Danielle.

We are going to have fun! Thanks for coming to visit!!

Love,
Grayson and Sabryn

Mommy and her girl

So proud!

I am so proud to have Sabryn as my sister! I love her so much! She is special!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We all spent Thanksgiving at our home. It was nice to not have to get into the car and go somewhere over a long weekend. We watched a parade on TV and then Mommy cooked dinner. We had turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, pink salad, and stuffing. Yummy!

Speaking of turkey, I made a turkey hat at my daycare. Mommy says that when I wear it I am officially a "Turkey"! What is she talking about?

Doesn't Sabryn look cute in her Thanksgiving outfit? Her bib says "everyone is thankful for me".

Decorating for Christmas

We decorated the house for Christmas and put up our Christmas tree. The house looks so pretty with all of the lights. I am ready for Santa!!

The Little "Hawk-Sker"

Mommy and Daddy are trying to confuse me. Should I cheer for the "Hawks" or the "Skers"?

Love,
Sabryn

Sabryn is 1 month

Today, I am a month old already. I am making good eye contact (with a little bit of eye crossing--which drives Daddy crazy), starting to smile, and eating about 3-4 ounces every couple hours. I am still waking up about every couple hours at night, but that will get better. Life is good!

Weight: 8 pounds and 12.4 ounces
Height: 20.9 inches

Not a fan of the bumbo yet!

Gotta love a smile!

I have started to smile when I am playing in my jungle gym or when Mommy, Daddy, or big brother play with me.

Helping Mommy give Sabryn a bath

Today, I was very helpful and helped Mommy give Sabryn a bath. Even "my guys" were helping!

Daddy has to go back to work. (BOO!)

Daddy has had three weeks off of work after I was born. I am so sad that he has to go back to work. I don't think that he is looking forward to it either. I think he has enjoyed staying home and chillin' with me!

Love,
Sabryn

Aunt Amber and my cousins came to visit

Aunt Amber, Tierra, and Zander came to visit. We had fun while they were here. Luckily, it was nice enough outside that we even got to go and play. They all had a great time meeting baby Sabe!

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken. They turned out really well. I am two-weeks old already, can you believe it?

Namma arrives to help!

Today, Namma arrived to get to know me and to help Mommy! While she is here she is going to help with a few things, like taking down our Halloween decorations and getting our house ready to put up Christmas ones. She will probably also get in some good snuggle time! That shouldn't be too hard!

Love,
Grayson and Sabryn

Special time with Nana and Papa

It was so nice to have Nana and Papa here for a while. We are sad to see them leave! Mommy and Daddy have really appreciated all of the help that Nana has given for the past couple of weeks! We will miss them both. We love you, Nana and Papa!

Trick-or-Treat!

Today was Halloween! Sabryn's first Halloween! We got all dressed up in our costumes!Mommy,Daddy, and Uncle Mitch took me trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. I got lots of candy and was excited to get home and spread it out all over the floor and figure out what all I had gotten. Nana and Papa stayed home with Sabryn so that she didn't have to go out into the cold. That was good idea!

Love,
Grayson and Sabryn

Uncle Mitch is here!

Uncle Mitchell came with Papa to pick up Nana! It was really great getting to see him! He was excited to meet Sabryn and play with me! Yes! I love it when Uncle Mitch is here!

Love,
Grayson and Sabryn

Bath time!

I am not all that sure that I like my bath time! It is a good thing that Mommy wraps me in a towel and puts me in the tub that way. It at least helps me stay a little warmer! I need heated towels.

Love,
Sabryn

What is all of that outside?

When I am on my changing table in my room, one of my favorite things to do is look out the window! I wonder what all of that stuff is outside!

Also, do you like my dress? It was a dress that my Mommy's aunt and uncle (Dunn) gave to Aunt Tiff when she was a baby!

Love,
Sabryn

Daycare Halloween

Today was my Kinderwold Daycare Halloween Party. I took treats and shared them with my friends. Then Mommy and Daddy came to daycare and we had a "Halloween Parade". This meant that all of my friends and I put on our costumes and we marched up and down the halls. It was a lot of fun to see everybody dressed up. There were lots of Spidermans, but I was the only Batman!


Me with Ms. Tamie and Ms. Alexis


Whoa! I have a spider on my finger! (Just kidding! It isn't real!)

Daddy's Birthday

Today is Daddy's 37th birthday! Happy Birthday, Daddy!

I love my new sister

All I want to do is sleep and eat

So I am now home and all comfy in my new house. I am sleeping for a couple hours and then I want to eat a couple of ounces of formula. Mommy tried to nurse and pump for a while, but it just wasn't working so they switched to formula. It will be ok as I will get my nutrients to grow big either way. I do think that both Mommy and Daddy are exhausted. Luckily, Nana is staying with us so that she can help out.

Love,
Sabryn

My gift from Sabryn

When Sabryn came home, she gave me an awesome present! It was the "Batman Batcave" that I have been wanting for a long time! I gave her a Ballerina Music Box. Thanks, Sabryn!

Heading home to my new house

New Baby Sister

I am so proud to announce the arrival of my new baby sister! She was born on October 18, 2010, at 11:56 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs, and 10.4 oz and was 20 inches long. I am so happy that she is finally here. She is just beautiful! While she was being born and Mommy and Daddy were at the hospital, Nana and Papa Dunn and Namma Johnson came and stayed with me. It was good to have them here. They were excited to see her too.

Now this blog will have to change to make room for my baby sister. I changed the name and even added a little pink. I am going to be a great big brother.

Love,
Grayson

Wilson's Apple Orchard

We had a great time at the apple orchard this year! I picked and ate a dozen apples I think! Daddy even held me up to the tree so that I could reach the good apples way up top! Mommy was so excited to get some of the apples as she has been craving them all year. She is going to make some applesauce she said. Yummy!!

Hawkeye Game

Daddy took me to my first Hawkeye Football game. As a bonus, we rode the "Hawkeye Express" train to the game and it was a blast. It rained most of the game, but Daddy and I still had a good time. My favorite part was cheering for the Hawkeyes, only instead of saying "Go Hawks", I said "Go Big Red". Hopefully nobody noticed!

3rd Birthday

The weekend before my third birthday was spent in Des Moines, Iowa. We met Nana, Papa, Uncle Mitch, Namma, Grandpa and Sue, and Tierra and Zander at a hotel. We went swimming and had pizza. My friend Graham and his parents came over to the hotel and helped me celebrate too. I wanted some new Toy Story toys for my birthday and everybody blessed me with things that I wanted. Mommy's friend, Ginny, made me some awesome "Batman" cupcakes. I was so happy.

On my birthday, Mommy and Daddy both took the day off of work to share the day with me. We went to Chuckie Cheese for lunch. I got to ride on a bunch of rides and had pizza. We had a great day just hanging out!
