Mommy Play Date

Julie, Andrea, and I went to Karyn's house today for our Mommy Play Date, and we had a blast! Karyn had lots of fun toys for our babies to play with, and it even prompted me to go straight to Babys R Us with them and buy his first play activity seat thingy! Oh yeah, and Gray tried to act like Charlotte and Jack by sitting up with them and hanging out..with a little help from mommy!

Gray LOVES this thing!

Charlotte's looking at Jack, Jack's looking at Gray, and Gray's looking at....hmmmmm dunno!

Sittin' with the big kids! Oh yeah! (Brayden is taking a nap at this time!)

WOAH!!! (I really just took my hand off for a second, but it looks like he can do it!!)

Chillin' at Ruby Tuesdays while the moms eat some salad :)

Grayson and Patrick

Dona and her son Patrick came over today and hung out for a bit! Patrick is 3 weeks older than Gray, but they weigh the same :) 16.9ish pounds! We had lots of fun, and as you can see by these pictures, they're buds for life already!

There's NOTHING cuter than baby hands!

Patrick found Gray's arm to be YUMMY!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the look on Patrick's face here! :)

hee hee!

They're so cute!

Pumpkin Carving at the Lajin's :)

We had such a great time at Laura and Rami's today! We carved our first pumpkin with our boy... daddy was QUITE the artist, I must say! Gray loved all the attention he got, even if he WAS a bit fussy there for a bit... As you can see, Laura and Denise had fun holding him, and the food....AH the food! Rami needs to patent his rice dish...AMAZING! What a great day :)

Our little "pumpkin"

Jeesh, they look SO much alike!

Like father..... Like son :O)

Mommy loves her boy SO much!

Daddy's workin' his magic :)

Wow....some FAMILY pictures! These are SO rare! (Thanks Laura!)

Our first pumpkin with Gray! (nice cemetary in the background, Rami!)

The boys.... I smell TROUBLE!!!
What a face!

Laura and Rami PRACTICE with our boy! (They're next ;) )
Denise and her little man ;)
She can't get enough of him!
More pumpkins at the party... this one's a PIRATE! Ah, art teachers! Now, a MUSIC teacher did this one of a haunted tree! IMPRESSIVE!

Our attempt at some Halloween Pictures :)

We're going to get some GOOD wear out of this costume if it's the LAST thing we do! :) We went back to Cox farm with Julie, Brayden, Karyn, and Charlotte to get some good costume pictures with the pumpkins. Brayden was fussy, but it made for a good "ROAR" picture, don't you think? :) Our little "monkey" just sat and let mommy take a rediculous amount of pictures, so that was VERY nice of him!

Gray, Charlotte, and part of Brayden

Gray, Charlotte, and "ROAR" Brayden :)

Our little "monkey"

Yeah, he doesn't have much room to grow in this costume, that's for sure!

More cute pics :)

I just can't seem to get enough of this little guy. He smiles the very second you look at him, and his eyes just DANCE when they look at you! His personality is REALLY starting to show... and he's so funny with his new HIGH pitch squeals that he's now discovered. Enjoy some of these fun shots!

Karen visits from Florida!

We have tried all weekend to convince Karen to move to this area, and the last resort was coaxing her with the baby! What can I say? She's my "sistah from anotha mistah"!

Evidence of a Thumb Sucker :)

It's official.... Grayson sucks his thumb!! We've created a monster, but at least he can self sooth, ya know? Anyway...here are pics of the evidence!

Our boy is STANDING!!

Grammy discovered the other day that Gray can stand up in his crib if he holds on to the railing...so Chris and I tried it last night...HE DOES!! He loved standing on his own, and when he got tired, he just dropped to his knees for a bit. There were MANY more smiles than just these, but these shots were some of my favorites that we took. He's learning SO FAST, and he is just SO much fun!! :)
