I generally think of myself as a pretty fearless person.  Given the opportunity, I can charge into any situation with a "fake it till you make it" attitude.  I could move across the country (and I have) and have to make all new friends without batting an eye.  Start a new job?  I'll wow them.  Experiment in the kitchen?  How bad could it be? Have children?  I was born to be a mother.  Have my mother move down the street from me.... well....yikes.  haha.  But then I look at myself from an outside point of view, and I have some pretty intense (and probably pretty irrational) fears.  So here are 3 legitimate fears that I have, in no particular order. 1)  I fear the death of a beloved pet.  When I was a child, when one of my pets died, s/he got a kings burial.  I wore black for a week, and cried for days on end.  My pets weren't just animals, they were some of my best friends.  As I got older, I don't know if ...

My goodness, time flies by fast!  My baby boy is 4 months old and growing like a weed!  It seems like every day he's learning or doing something new!  Now he's about 4 1/2 months old actually, and the thing he does the most is stick his little tongue out and squeak/squeel.  It is really quite adorable!  He was pretty unbearable for about 4 days... crying constantly, very grumpy, low fever, wanting to nurse all the time, not sleeping very long at all... just being a general stinker butt.  I think he was starting to teethe, and going through a growth spurt at the same time.  Lucky for me, my happy easy going baby came back.  I swear, for those 4 days, he hardly even smiled at me, I coulda swore he didnt like me anymore. =( But now, hes smiling and laughing again!  I missed that so much! He's 15 lb 7 oz, and 24 1/2 inch tall He's starting to put weight on his feet, but still not rolling over He still hates tummy time, but it getting prett...

Greyson turned 3 months on January 18th!  We don't have another doctor appointment until he's 4 months, so I don't know his stats, but here some new stuff about him! He's still exclusively breast fed.  I can't believe I made it this long, considering the start we had! He's still consistantly sleeping through the night! He's discovered his hands, and thinks they taste mighty yummy!  He'll even hold onto his toys if we put them in his hands. He can laugh!  Oh can that boy laugh.  And then I laugh too.  I can't help it!  It's the sweetest sound in the world! He got to meet his Auntie Seville, and he loves her so! He got lots of quality time with Grandma this last month! Which of his 3 month pictures are your favorite?

OK, so I wanted to write a little more about myself, so I got some ideas on topics to write about, so here goes!  This post is 20 random facts about myself. I cannot do scary movies.  Not even a little bit.  I will have nightmares and have to sleep with the lights on, and do that awkward run and jump into bed so that nothing under the bed can attack me.  And if by chance I do watch something a little scary, I have to watch a happy, funny movie after to dispel the feeling of terror and gloom.   I rescued a baby kitten when I was about 5 or 6 years old.  I remember he didn't have a tail, and for days, we heard him meowing, but thought it was a crow cause he meowed kinda funny.  We named him Crow. My parents were baptized LDS (Mormons) when I was 4 years old.  I remember my first Sunday school... I was scared to be in my own class, so I went to the older class to be with the one little girl I knew there. Technically my first kiss was when I was...

On December 18, 2012, my little Greyson turned 2 months old!  I couldnt believe it!  Look how big he had gotten!  I thought I'd do a little Christmas theme with him for photos... hes such a ham ;)  Here's a little bit on fun facts about Greyson when he turned 2 months old! I weight 10lb 7 oz, and am 22 inches long!  I've grown so much! I've finally started sleeping through the night most of the time!  Mommy is happy about that! I like looking in mirrors and at my mobile.  I'm getting really good at focusing on things!  Especially on mommy and daddy! I love to smile and coo, especially at mommy every morning! I LOVE bath time!  I get this amazed smile everytime the warm water waches over me.  I'm starting to understand how fun splashing is too! I got blessed by daddy at church and got to meet all my family who were there to see it! I also got my 2 month shots, which made me scream bloody murder =( I had my first blow out diape...

Just catching up!  I can't believe how fast my baby turned one month old!  I also cant believe how much you can love such a small little person!  And I also can't believe how someone so small can make so much noise, have so much stuff and completely change everything you know about life so completely! At one month old, Greyson has/can... Started to gaze at things a little further away from him.  Especially lights Looks like hes almost smiling!  It'll happen soon! Has been to church once.  It was a little too much.  Mommy had to go home early with a screaming baby Has discovered that he loves to be rocked by daddy Has peed and pood on both mommy and daddy.  Though his favorite was when daddy was rocking him and his diaper didnt do his job causing daddy to jump up in shock... what a fun ride! Peed in his own face Stopped his super high pitched screech and started to cry a bit more like a regular baby sound Put up with mommy taking lots a...
