Trouble and Tennessee

TROUBLE!!!!! In this post Grey is not going to be called by his name. He is going to be referred to as Trouble.

Trouble has been getting into everything this past week. It just started one day. And I have a feeling it may not stop until he is 25....roughly :)

Trouble has learned to sort of crawl up on things. He is getting stronger and much more fearless about getting into things.

He has learned to pull himself up under the chairs.






He has become more independent. He left me in the dust and crawled from his bedroom down the hall and into the kitchen.



Grey has a favorite little giraffe toy that stays in his car seat. I think that might be why it is still a favorite. He only gets it in the car. Well, he figured out how to crawl up in his car seat to get it.



Notice in this one the car seat is flipped over.



He found where I hid some toys in the dining room.





And trouble has been pulling himself into the standing position for a moment.















On a different note. Trouble and I went to visit Megan in Memphis. He was not trouble. He was pretty good. The drive was super easy and it was fun to see where Megan lives. But we really did not take very many pictures. I need to get better at that!

If you look closely you can see that we dropped bbq sauce on trouble's shirt. His first experience with REAL Memphis bbq. (It was delicious!)





This is a picture capturing our Starbucks run. HOLIDAY cups and PEPPERMINT MOCHAS!!!



We wore him out!




And our last bit of information is that Mr. Trouble is sprouting another tooth. That makes two! Super exciting :)

7 Months!!!!

Grey turned 7 months old on Friday. I swear time is flying faster and faster every month.







It is getting harder and harder to get Grey to pose for his monthly photo shoot. He is just too busy to really sit still. As you can see.....









And then someone got REALLY tired of photo shoot. Enough is enough mom!!





In other 7 month news, Grey is FINALLY getting a tooth. We were starting to think that it might not happen :) It is on the bottom left side. It is just barely poking through the gum. We took a picture but you have to look really close to see anything form this angle.



Pictures from our week.













It was chilly and sunny today so we decided to go to the zoo.



Matt wanted to go to the petting zoo part :)



This was Greys first time to wear mittens. He thought they were delicious!







Grey was so tired after zooing that he fell asleep with a toy in his hand. TRUE Grey fashion!



Next weekend Matt is on call and baby and I are headed to Memphis! Stay tuned.

Happy Halloween!!!!

The cutest crayon in the box......the GREY crayon!











And this is after he ripped off the crayola part. He was done playing dress up.


This is a montage of all the super cute Halloween items that people so generously gave him.















This one I had to include. There is no affiliation with Halloween, but the prunes looked black so I am putting it here!


Tonight we went to a little kids night/Halloween thing. There was a lot of fun things for bigger kids to do. We had a good time looking at all the kids in costumes though.



More goats....


These are from this week. Nothing to do with Halloween here. Well, there was a Halloween story read. Grey and I go to storytime at the library. When we first started going he was very shy and just sat there. Now he will crawl to the toys and make all kinds of noises when we sing songs.



This is Grey's storytime friend. She is the only other kid there that is even close to his age. I had to break out the camera because they were playing along side each other. He normally pushes her over to get that book that makes sounds.
