Sleepy Boy

Grammie is on vacation so Grevin has been playing with his friend, James, during the day. The first day he did not sleep at all, he was having way too much. But not today!! This is the picture I got from Andrea, James' mommy. (by the way, who is so awesome to be watching Grey!!) Tired little man!

Bananas!!

Grey is starting to figure it out...

Eating Peas

Grevin still loves his peas...even though he is trying really really hard to figure out how to eat them with a spoon.

And I love the "please" at the end :)

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

Grevin's best friend, Andrew, is TWO!!  We had such a good time at his birthday party-eating monkey cake, jumping in the bounce house, and especially playing in the sandbox!

 Happy Birthday, Andrew!

Happy Mother's Day

I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me "mommy."

 Look at all the wonderful gifts I received from my little boy...he is so thoughtful!  Grammie and he made this potholder for me.  I promise his hand really doesn't look like that...but it shows you how hard it is for him to sit still!

He picked out some flowers( and a balloon) with his daddy.

And he can't wait to help me dig a hole to plant these flowers...

On Mother's Day, I was able to sleep in while Zippy and Grevin went to the store to get flowers, mimosas, and food for our picnic lunch at the Oakland Zoo.  Grammie and Grandpa went with us, and we met up with the Wings to check out all the amazing animals.  Auntie Zephy even came to hang out with us for awhile, too!

Gotta love those kisses!

This was Grevin's first trip to the zoo.  I think he really enjoyed it even though it rained (or I guess I should say because of the rain because there were lots of puddles to play in!)

He really liked the stairs where you go to see the lion...

The sticks by railroad crossing

Going through the tunnel with his dad

And looking at the "wild" animals in the enclosures..

(he was so fascinated by the Homo sapien hosing down the bird cage)

 

He did like playing with the lion...as long as he had his stick!

As you can tell, he really wasn't too interested in the zoo for the animals...and would have had more fun playing in the backyard :)  I guess we will wait a little longer before our next visit so he can really enjoy the zoo for what is there!  

It was a nice Mother's Day and it was fun hanging out with the people who mean so much to me.  I really love being a mother to this cute little boy!

Birthdays and Horse Races

A weekend full of birthdays! And for adults, not kids! Saturday, we celebrated Andrea's birthday and Grey had alot of fun playing with her son, James.  Now that James is sitting up, it is entertaining to watch them interact.

Grevin is in heaven if he can find a shovel and somewhere to dig...we finally found a place where he  could dig and wouldn't destroy the flowers at their house!

On Sunday, we went to celebrate Ben's birthday at Golden Gate Fields.  It was alot of fun to watch the horses, Grey thinks they are big dogs, and he danced to Tainted Love between the races.

 This is the only picture I got at the races. When he wasn't listening to the band, he was soooo soooo cranky!  I am not sure what has gotten into him this last week, I think it is allergies (runny clear snot nonstop), he has been melting down at anything and everything.  He kept asking for a cracker, as soon as he got one, he would throw it.  He would ask to be put down, as soon as his feet would hit the floor, he would drop to the ground in tears asking to be picked up. I know he doesn't feel well but I hope this isn't foreshadowing the terrible twos!!  Ugh!
