We made it!

Well, we made it through our first two days of work and daycare! G loves his nanny and we love her too! We are so blessed to have her take care of him! I missed my boy but I really love what I do too! I was just so tired this week, but we will all get adjusted! Grayson laughed for the first time on Friday! It was the cutest thing ever!! I wish I could get him to do it again! It was his gift to momma! It was precious! This week we start all over with 5:30 am wake up and bedtime, who knows for momma! We will just keep praying and pushing through! Andrew was a huge help this week, as it was an emotional one for me! I just love the family that we have become!

Tummy Time

Look how strong I am!! Push ups....and 10, 9, 8......

I'm such a big boy!

10 weeks.....Wow!

Wow these past two months have flown by! We have grown together as a couple and are learning so much about being parents! Each week has gotten better! Our fussy boy has turned into a smiling sweetie! It has been so much fun hearing him coo and watch him smile at us. Grayson and I were talking whale the other day...he kept repeating my sounds, it was the cutest ever!! His smiles keep getting bigger and happy wake times are longer!! Sleeping is getting better.....we are still getting up once a night, but he is doing great! I'm going back to work tomorrow. I know it will be good for me to slowly get back into the transition of working by going back now, but I'm gonna miss my boy!! We have been having so much fun, I don't want to leave him. Summer is right around the corner and we will have more time together soon! I also know that God will give me the strength, love, and energy to complete all my jobs--at home and school. Every day is a new day and I'm loving seeing what each day holds! Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Give me that Paci!!

Oh there it is...much better!!

AHH....I don't want to wear this gown! But, mom says I look handsome!

Happy Easter!

What a beautiful Easter weekend! The weather was delightful and our company was fun! We went to the park and did an Easter egg hunt! Grayson went to church for the first time. He liked how loud the music was and soaked in the message as he napped! :) We had a great week last week as well. He is making progress on his schedule but we are still getting up at night. Mommy is tired but little G is hungry! He is a growing boy! He is EIGHT weeks tomorrow! Wow these two months have flown and we love our little boy so much! Being parents has been such a delight! We just can't stop staring at and loving on our sweet Grayson! Here are some precious Easter pics of our baby!

Hoppy Easter!!

Wow! Look at this Handsome Pair! Mommy is so lucky to have such good looking boys in her life!

Love my sweet boy!

What a great week!

We have had a great week! G is making progress with his sleeping patterns and last night was the 3rd night he did 7 hours! WOW! It takes 3 days to make a habit so let's hope it sticks! I'm so thankful! We have gone to one feeding at night which is huge for mommy! This morning he was smiling and so happy with mommy! We have had lots of walks this week and fun time with friends!

Go Team!

What's UP!

Precious Smile!!

Our New Friend!!  

Cutie Pie!

        Oh the cuteness!! Look at me!!

6 Weeks Tomorrow.....

We are slowly making our way into a family routine. Last night we made dinner together which was a big accomplishment! Grayson is still adjusting to life. I think he has his daddy's energy and doesn't know what to do with it. We are realizing it is ok to let him cry for a bit and not feel guilty for not picking him up each time. We had a good week...we are now on meds for acid reflux and he is feeling much better. We went to the Dr. last Monday and he weighed 10 pounds 3 ounces...growing boy! WOW! Now that he is feeling better, eating time is getting better too; no more screams of pain! YEAH!
Yesterday we walked to lunch and even brought the dog...we all know how wild Bella is. She did well too. But she is still adjusting to having a brother and now taking the back seat! LOL! Grayson is so sweet and is such a fun addition to our family! More to come....

Bath Time!!

Our Little Froggy! So cute!

5 Weeks...What a Whirlwind

Wow! What a wonderful life changing experience Grayson has been to our lives. Five weeks ago our beautiful baby boy was brought into this world. Momma was worn out from a long day of laboring--ending in a c-section, and after 22 hours at the hospital, Grayson Andrew Capstickdale finally arrived. He was 6 pounds 11 ounces, measuring 18 inches. We haven't stopped since. Thanks to our amazing family and friends we have had a comfortable transition into parenthood. We praise God daily for the generosity of our friends and family. We have felt loved beyond measure! I have also been so blessed by my wonderful husband. He has been so willing to help me in every way! He feeds G at night and wakes up early to comfort him (I do some things in between there)! It is so much fun to watch Andrew be a dad, and how much he just loves Grayson. He is such a wonderful husband and new daddy!
Every day is a learning experience for me as a mother and a wife. Learning how to love like I never have before, to stay calm when G is screaming, and to not feel like I have to do it all. I love a clean house but some things don't matter so much anymore. I am loving staying at home with G. We have music time, cuddle time, eating time (lots of eating), and we love to watch the sheep above his crib, he just stares and stares. Enjoying walks now, is one of my favorite things. I love to get outside with him and enjoy this beautiful pollen filled spring :). He loves it too and enjoys a good nap while we walk. I love being a mom and I look forward to all these new adventures ahead of us! More to come on our new life as parents, and our wonderful precious son Grayson.
