Grayden Robert, you are 3 months old


Grayden you are 3 months old today! To celebrate Mommy baked a cake and took your pictures! Here's what you're up to:
You sleep from around 10-6/7 and get up at least once to pop your paci back in

You still love to be swaddled at night

You eat 5 oz 5 times a day

You are much better at napping in your crib and sometimes sleep for 3 hours in the afternoon!

You are getting so strong and can hold yourslef up really well on your feet!

You went to your first whitecaps game You went camping for the first time You had your first ride in daddy's Jeep You have new toys, your bumbo and exersauser/jumperoo


You wear size 1 diapers and 0-3/3 months clothes

You weigh 13 lbs 2 oz as of last week on our new baby scale!

You rub your eyes when you are tired...so cute!

You are starting to 'play' with toys and put things in your mouth.

You are giggling....so cute!
You have started to drool so we've gotten the bibs out a couple times!

You spent your first evening away from Mommy and Daddy while we went to a wedding! You played with Grammie and Grampie R.

You still love to be held but also do great when you play on the floor!


We love you so much buddy!Align Center

Another new toy

Tuesday, August 11, 2009


His exersaucer/jumperoo made its debut yesterday!
He'll be 3 months old tomorrow....time flies!

Oh and P.S. thanks for all your baby lovin....but....come on...doesn't anyone think he looks like me? Not even a little bit? :)
Robb is eating that up when I tell him that y'all think G looks like him! That is a huge compliment...which is exactly why I am a smidge jealous...hehe! I must admit I did land myself some handsome men!

God truly has the best plan for our lives and has every detail perfected!

"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own"

date night

Monday, August 10, 2009

Who knew date night could be even more fun when you bring your baby along?

Friday night we took Grayden to one of our favorite restaurants, Porto Bello's, in Grand Haven. We hope he grows to love Italian food as much as we do someday :)

He may be my new favorite man to go out with :) Kidding of course!

I love my boys!

After dinner we walked around town and stopped in a few cute shops. We bought Grayden this really cute bear that recites "The Lord's Prayer" when you hold it's hands....its so sweet.

On the way home we stopped at Kohl's and Robb took Grayden around the store and kept him entertained while I shopped for an entire hour for myself! It's been awhile since I've done that or really wanted to do that (its so much more fun to buy things for Grayden) but it was needed so I have a brand new wardrobe now thanks to my wonderful hubby!

Camping Recap

Monday, August 3, 2009

I'll start with the Friday (the 24th) before we left for camping. Robb and I had our first night away since Grayden was born, we went to our friends' Craig and Lindsay's wedding. It was a great night and Grayden had lots of fun with Grammie and Grampie!

Then we left for the campground on Saturday morning (the 25th) and had an awesome time on our first camping trip!! Here are some pictures:
Our Campsite:

We did LOTS of playing!
Grayden played in the dirt with the rest of the kiddos!showing how he can get dirty too :)
we did LOTS of eating :)we sat around campfires every night!
SWIMMING!













On Friday Jessica and I and the babies hit a couple garage sales! Emma and Grayden fell asleep in the car! So cute!
Friday night we headed to the county fair and checked out the festivities!

I love this picture Jessica took of us, oogling over Grayden...we do this ALL the time
Some other cute random pictures from camping
I love these little feet!


We came home on Saturday morning and had a busy day of laundry and cleaning!
At night we headed to a church outing on the lake!
And Sunday we spent the afternoon at a pool party and went back out to the lake at night!
It was such a great past few days and we loved being able to spend so much time relaxing together!
