The Great Outdoors

Right before Thanksgiving, we decided to go camping for Mike's 3oth birthday. We left on a Saturday morning and camped at Lake Somerville (one of the only campgrounds in Texas without a burn ban). Joe, Lacey, and Jeff were able to join us and we had a blast! We were definitely a little nervous taking a toddler camping, but Greyson had the best time ever. He napped fine, and slept through the night. We had so much fun, we can't wait to go again! However, we did decide we better invest in a little bigger tent, as I don't think 2 pack and plays are going to fit in our 4 man tent!

15 Months

This post is long overdue considering the fact that Greyson is 15 1/2 months now, but oh well...I do what I can.

At 15 months, Greyson is:

30.5 inches long (50%)

24.12 lbs. (50-60%)

Greyson is learning new words every day. Some of his new favorites are no (with the head shake and all), more, shoe, sock, star, snack (nack), outside (side), and door. He now knows most of his main body parts and will point them out to you when asked, and will even say some of them as well (eyes, head, hair, nose, feet, hands, mouth, ears, tongue, belly button, and even his you know what).

He is becoming much more independent! Runs every where, wants to feed himself with a spoon or fork (although he is still very messy), and definitely knows how to express himself when he doesn't want something or when he does.

He is as much a joy to be around as ever and especially loves his daddy! Often times he'll be eating dinner in his high chair and will see Mike's car pull into the driveway, to which he responds Daddy, Daddy! What a great thing to witness!
