Wagon

I think these are the last of last week’s photo shoot that I wanted to post. (Sorry, I’ve been a little picture crazy lately!) We’ve had this wagon for about 6 months or so now and I keep thinking about how I’d like to photograph it, these didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked, I think the setting and outfit were off (next time overalls!), as well as the fact that when the wagon stops, Greyson wants to climb out! It did however, come in very handy to drag props around the park!

Enjoy!

Girls!

Yesterday we pulled up to a truck load of teenage girls, 4 crammed in the front seat, 2 in the back bed of the truck, all bikini clad and sun baked from a fun day at the beach, I’m sure. As we pulled along side them Greyson hollered from the back seat “Hiya Girls!” and waved through the window with wild abandon. “Girls, mommy, Girls!” he jabbered, smiles stretching his cheeks to their fullest. When the light turned green the truck sped away as only teenage drivers do, as they distanced themselves from us Greyson screamed from his Britax seat behind me, “Faster Mommy, Faster – the girls!”

The funniest part is that for a fleeting second I almost sped up, before my mommy judgment snapped into gear and I realized that chasing down a truck load of teenage girls for my 2 year old was probably not the most ‘proper’ thing to do.

Mommy-hood Lesson # 4,578 – Chasing down a truck load of teenage girls, is never appropriate for your 2 year old son, or 12,17, 22, 34, 48, 56 or 62 year old son either.

(Pointing out the boats - much much better!)

(I love the way he is standing in this one!)

A few more shots from our shoot last week...

Another one of his new boutique outfits, that I just simply adore (much to Greg's dismay).

(This is one of my favorites of all time)

(He loves pulling his 'friends' around in their wagon...)
(It's hard to see in these pictures, but the front of this is actually smocked - it's gorgeous!)
(this type of outfit makes him look younger, maybe that's why I love them so...)

Dressing Room conversations…

If you were in the Belks Department Store dressing room, yesterday at 3:30 (ish) you may have overhead the following:

Me: “What do you think of this shirt Greyson?”

Him: “Um….. turnaround.” (yes, he told me to turn around first!)

Me: after turning around, “Well?”

Him: “I Liiiiiiike it, let’s buuuuuuy it!”

The lady in the room next to us was cracking up!

Too big, too little…

“I too big mommy” when he doesn’t want to sit in his stroller.

“I too little mommy” when he’d rather be carried than walk on his own.

What he really means – I’m too cute for you to say "No" to mommy, so just do as I say, thanks.

Yeah, I’m a sucker, but can you blame me?

(Speaking of him looking older... can you believe that look?)

Is it just me...

or is he looking much much older these days... ?

Happy Friday!

It's Friday's Fashion Feature time!

Greyson is wearing:

Polo Shirt - Carter's

Plaid Cargo Shorts - The Children's Place

Shoes - Crocs (they are a tad bit big, but he LOVES them)

Two pictures... (lots more to come over the next few days!) *** Updated with a 3rd picture!

Greyson: "Why oh why do you dress me this way Mommy?"

Mommy: "Because my dear, it's simply adorable."

(I know I'll take a lot of heat for this beautiful Strasburg outfit, but I LOVE it!)

He was actually asking where the dragonfly flew off to... "Where it go, Mommy?" I so wish I wouldn't have cropped off his little up-turned hands... but with toddlers you take what you can get!

Taking time to stop and smell the roses...

*** One more picture for tonight.

Ah! Don't you just want to eat him up! I love Strasburg and Peter Pan collars (sorry Greg!).

Expressions...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

If you're happy and you know it...

You can almost hear his laugh just by looking at these photo's.

It's Friday again!

Our weeks seem to go by much faster now that we are doing our "Friday's Fashion Feature" post!

Took over 200 pictures of him this morning, so I'll have many more to post from this session!

We have had a great week, Greyson's tummy seems to be 100% better! Yay! We've spent a lot of time outside this week and our weekend is supposed to be Hot Hot Hot, so we'll more than likely be at the beach.

One quick funny and then on to the fashion. While I was brushing his hair this morning he asked me "Making me handsome?"

"Yes, honey" I replied, "I'm making you handsome."

After finishing his hair, he turned to look in the mirror and exclaimed, "I am handsome!" and gave himself the thumbs up sign!! He's such a trip!

Greyson is wearing:

2 piece outfit by Good Lad

(sold at most of your finer department stores, this one came from Belk's)

(and it was on sale! 40% off!! whoo hoo!)

Loving him is so easy to do…

Greyson has a habit of surprising me with the sweetest little things at the most random times. Today after his nap, I had just put a clean diaper on him and he was standing on his changing table, he put his little hands on my shoulders and bent down so that we were face to face, noses rubbing, “Mommy” he said, “ I love you, you so beautiful”. Beautiful – my sweet baby boy told me I was beautiful!!! It’s in these moments that I find myself not only so in love with my son, but so in love with his father. Greg is truly giving Greyson the best gift of all, and that is, loving his mommy. Greyson is learning from example how to love, to be secure and to be happy. It’s a gift his daddy has given both of us.

Cabin Fever??

This is what happens when Greyson and I stay in all week...

(Mommy and Greyson - Now with 40% more CRAZY!!)

Luckily we were able to get out of the house today to run some errands, and normalcy (or our best attempt at it anyway) ensued...

(I swear he's mine! He's just a mini-me of his daddy!)

Friday's Fashion Feature...

Happy Friday Everyone!

It's been a busy week here, Greyson has been having a few tummy issues this week, but I think we have everything straightened out for now, hopefully it will stay that way. The last couple of days have been gorgeous! We've been outside a ton, soaking in the sun and playing in the sprinklers! Fun Fun Fun!!

On to the fashion... I know you have seen this outfit in previous pictures, but they were not the Friday Fashion pictures, so I thought we would feature it today. Greyson and I ran errands all morning and everyone (literally everyone!) just went on and on about how cute he is and how he just needed a set of golf clubs! Enjoy the pictures!

Greyson is wearing:

Shorts/Shirt/Vest: Heartstrings Boutique (I LOVE that place)

Hat: Newsboy white twill from - The Children's Place

A couple of shots from yesterday...

Yesterday while taking his Friday's Fashion Feature pictures, I actually got quite a few cute ones, these two I love for completely different reasons...

(In this one he looks like a little child model, he's simply just gorgeous!)

(and in this one... well, this one just makes me laugh, he was O.V.E.R. having his picture taken! The little grumpy butt!)

Friday's Fashion Feature

Happy Friday everyone!

First an update on Weeble's little foot. He is doing a lot better! He still has a slight (and I mean very slight) limp, and he continues to complain a bit about it, but I think his complaining is more milking it, over it really hurting. He often holds up his left foot and tells me it hurts, then when I say, oh but I thought you hurt your right foot, he'll switch feet and say "Yeah, my foot hurts"!! So yeah, I'm not really buying it!! I'm sure by the start of the week he will be 100% rip roaring and tearing about once again.

Now for his fashion!

The Weeble is wearing:

Plaid collar shirt - Fadded Glory by WalMart

T-Shirt - Gymboree

Shorts - Gymboree

Shoes - Why, Crocs of course!

(Standing for these pictures is beginning to be a real chore for him!)

The limp-ity limp of little feet….

Well, it’s been a crazy couple of days. Monday night after bath, Greyson decided to try some wild gymnastic happy jump, while being wrapped in a huge bath towel and ended up with a twisted foot and head/knee collision. He complained a bit, but he could move everything that should move and settled down fairly quickly, so into bed the little man went. Tuesday morning started with screams of pain and me finding Greyson clinging to the wall standing on one foot. He wouldn’t put any pressure on his right foot at all, even though he could move his ankle/toes/etc… and there was no sign of swelling, bruising or redness. A quick call to the Pediatrician had us in the car and on our way. Once at the Dr. Weeble proved that I was wrong and he indeed could walk on his foot (when enticed with the promise of stickers and cool toys) but he had a VERY obvious limp and after a few steps he wanted to be picked up. The Dr. decided after much poking and prodding with absolutely no reaction from Weeble to send us home to wait 24 hours. So home we came prepared to give him Tylenol or Motrin for pain and hope and pray the limp would be gone by morning.

Fast Forward to this morning and the child is still the limp-ity-limp man. So in the car we go on our way for x-rays. Weeble was a champ!! He kept his foot perfectly still and let the good technicians snap away lots of angles of his darling foot and ankle. (I take full credit for his amazing foot posing – it’s all the pictures I take I tell you!!).

Well the results came in a few hours later, and……….. He’s FINE!

There was swelling in the tendon’s that run along the bones in his foot (the 3 that go to the 3 middle toes) but nothing was broken/fractured/torn etc… Hooray! So they are calling it – ‘pulled tendons’.

There is nothing we can do other than keep him off it (yeah right) and give him medicine for the pain, it “should” be all better in a couple of days. They said if he’s still limping around on Friday to give them a call, they would then want to do detailed imaging of the soft tissue in his foot. But, my guess is, he’ll be running and jumping in no time!!

I have a feeling that with Weeble’s love for jumping, running and all out craziness, these will not be the last x-ray’s we get…
