Seven Months...already!

Time has just flown by with Rogan. When Grayson was a baby, the days seemed to go much slower. It seemed as though his baby stage lasted longer. Maybe now, we are moving faster because we have two sons to care for. But if I could have one wish, it would be to make these days last longer! Rogan says, " Gaaaa... ahhhh...Daaaa." Unlike Grayson whose first word was Mama, Rogan says Dada. Rogan ate his first gram cracker the other day and loved it. He also tried some of my famous banana bread. He is rolling everywhere and lifting his upper body up. He has so much strength for baby. He loves to touch our faces and hit them. Rogan is also starting to drink from a sippy cup. When I feed him solids, I put a bit of juice and water in a cup and let him practice. I feel like these past few days, Rogan has moved into a huge new phase with his eating and drinking. No teeth yet..thank goodness b/c nursing will be out the window. Rogan also found his boy part...get it! He says..."Forget those toes, look what I found!"

We are getting ready for fall around here, pumpkins are up. I can't wait. I just love that time of the year! Grayson's birthday is just around the corner. I am counting down the days until we see the Imagination Movers.... a true Mom. I have lost my self in Mommy World. Funny words from Grayson... the other day he felt Marc's arm and said, "You got some big muscles Daddy!" When I look at Grayson, I can't believe how big he is. His pants seem so long when I fold them from out of the dryer. I can't believe it has been 7 months since the day Rogan came home. The Wonderful World of Boys!!!!

Roll with it Baby!!!

I am very happy to report that Rogan is on the move... he is every where!!!! He rolls or does ( what I like to call) the pelvic thrust head scoot all over the place. It is bitter sweet. I am happy he is meeting his big mile stone but sad he is already that big and strong! He babbles up a storm and loves to carry on conversation. Rogan just loves being outside! He enjoys walking every morning and afternoon. Yesterday, we took a blanket outside to play on while big brother Grayson played on his swing set. Yes, Grayson loves his swing set. It has a steering wheel on the fort and Grayson likes taking us places by boat and bus . Rogan also likes sitting in his walker under the tree in the shade. He is a little outdoors men. Rogan also finally, got to go swimming last week a few times. Now that everyone is back in school, the pool is not so crowded at the YMCA. I feel like I can watch the boys better. Rogan liked the water as long a he was on my lap. Grayson is a fish! Next year, they both will be able to enjoy the water. I will have my hands full! :)

Grayson has had a good week with starting Pre-K. He seems to be enjoying himself also! He had to wear red today for 'Red Day'. He was excited when he woke up to be going to his school and seeing his new friends. He made my day the other morning. Grayson saw my wedding ring setting out and said to me..."Mommy, I'm gonna marry you when I grow up." Is that the sweetest thing! I thought so. Every Mother's dream, he loves me just that much.
