he's got skills

Gray has been working on a little trick to show you guys!  Please go here and here to check it out!  

ps: 1.  my house is overrun with baby toys and 2. notice in the 2nd video he has one paci in his mouth and one in his hand.  that's how we roll over here! #obsessedwithhispaci

braid obsessed

I've always been a fan of braids.  I remember my big sis, Brooke, french braiding my hair back in the day.  She also taught me how to do my own(thanks B!).  While I haven't worn a french braid in a while- it's not the 90's anymore people!- I'm still loving me some braids. These are just some of the pics I've pinned lately!

it's Friday, it's Friday!

Some of my favorite pics from Gray's one year photo shoot!

six year anniversary

Once again, I'm behind on my blogging.  Jake and I celebrated our six year wedding anniversary a week ago.  Can't believe it's already been six years- I can still remember that week we spent in Mexico and how fun it was ( and how tan we were! ). 

anniversary drinks!

the beach & thirteen months

Wow- I'm behind on blogging!  We've just been busy growing and staying active over here.  Mister Gray is now 13 months old and will not sit still!  He is on the move constantly- crawling and walking!!!  He will walk about 5-6 steps and then realize what he's doing and sit down.  We've also made the switch to whole milk instead of formula, and so far he's done great and doesn't seem to miss the bottle ( although I'm kinda sad not to feed my baby his bottle anymore! ) He's still chattering a lot- says mama, dada, dog, duck, Ollie.  His newest trick is shaking his head no.  And he likes to say no a lot!  
We took Gray on his first beach trip with my parents and sister and her family.  He did really great!  He tried to eat the sand a few times, but quickly realized he didn't like it!  Overall he did really good and we can't wait for another one!

We are having many firsts around here these days.  Gray not only celebrated his first birthday, but he also had his first haircut!
