Sleeping Beauty

My sweet baby girl has been sleeping through the night for over 3 weeks!!!!! Woohoo Maggie!!! It's hard to believe you will be 6 months old in a few days!!! Where is the time going?

This is how I found her the other morning when I went to go wake her. Gotta love it!

Halloween 2009

We had so much fun this Halloween! Greyson was so much more into it than the year before and loved trick-or-treating. However, being the 2 year old that he is, the costume selection process was not so fun! Originally, he was going to be a giraffe, Maggie a lion, and Mike and I safari people. Well, let's just say we ran into a snag a few days before Halloween when Greyson didn't want to wear his giraffe costume. Oh boy!!! I took Greyson to several stores in hopes that he would find something he really loved. He wavered between Thomas the train, Spiderman, a race car driver, a pumpkin, and batman. I got lucky and found a batman costume and he finally decided he would wear it. He ended up loving it, and has even worn it since Halloween! Lesson learned: next year, he will be picking out his own costume from the get go!

Fall trip to San Antonio

This weekend we went to San Antonio to visit Grandpa and Grandma, and Grandmother. We had a great time! On Saturday Daddy, Grandpa, and Grey went to a hobby shop and watched all sorts of trains, while the girls hung out. Greyson LOVED it! While there Greyson got a Thomas the Train hat which he wouldn't take off the entire weekend. He took naps and went to bed with it on. Saturday night Grandpa and Grandma watched the kiddos while Mommy and Daddy went to dinner on the Riverwalk and went to see a show. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma! On Sunday Grandmother went with us to the San Antonio Botanical Gardens to see the Bugs exhibit and enjoy the Halloween festivities.

2009 Pumpkin Patch Visit

This morning we took a short trip to the Bethany United Methodist pumpkin patch. It was a perfect day for the outing! We had grand expectations of getting a good family pic and even brought our tripod for such a thing. But, no luck!!!! Greyson is going through a phase where he will not take pictures. We can't get him to sit next to Maggie, and he won't smile at the camera when you want him to. I know it's just a phase, but it is frustrating to say the least.

Maggie's 5 Month Birthday

Maggie turned 5 months yesterday! Wow, time sure is flying!!! For the most part, she is a pretty laid back baby. She typically only fusses when she is tired or hungry. She's still not the best napper, but seems to be improving in that area. She sleeps through the night on occasion, but for the most part still wakes up once at night. We haven't really made an effort to let her cry it out yet, but will probably begin soon , since she is almost 6 months. She is talking more and more and is really reaching for things., which means we have to be more careful about what's in front of her. I think she might be ready for solids soon since she is really interested in what we are eating. Hopefully then she might start sleeping through the night more regularly!!!
