this is the part where i beg you to ignore my dirty glass

i wasn't going to post these because i was so embarrassed at how the camera caught how very disgusting my back door is. 


i swear i just windexed it this weekend but between two dogs and a small child it doesn't stay clean long. these pictures were just too cute not to share though. grayson is pretty obsessed with himself and could see his reflection in the door. whenever he sees himself he feels the need to kiss himself. over and over and over. he loves looking out the back door when the dogs are out there. he thinks its so much fun to watch them. so please just try and ignore the filth and focus on the cute!

don't forget to give us a vote. thanks!

dirty dishes

grayson is growing out of his whale tub and our bathtub is currently not fit for him to bathe in so we got creative! fortunately our sink is nice and deep so we filled it up and grayson got to splash around in there. he loved it, and i loved not having to hunch over a tub. bathtime has always been one of his favorite things. something tells me he is going to love the pool this summer. 

wrinkled toes. clearly that's a sign of a good bath. 

grayson vs the bear

when grayson was born as a gift my company sent a giant bear. it's just sort of sat in a corner of grayson's room since then. until today.

what a cute bear. i think i like him. 

had you fooled bear- attack! attack!

pancake witnesses the whole thing and decided hiding under the crib was the safest place. 

totally defeated. sorry bear

exploring

apparently while at his grandmother's house today grayson discovered stairs! not only did he discover them but he also climbed them. i am pretty sure now that he knows they exist he will head straight for ours. we've been lucky enough that he's never noticed them before. time to gate off the house some more!

back when we were just three

yum yum!

grayson finally learned how to feed himself! he usually just opens his mouth for the puff treats and always refused to eat them himself. he just smashed them in his hands. today though i placed the on the ottoman and walked away. when i looked over he was feeding them to himself! i started clapping and he was so proud. 

oh! and another update, i've discovered a firth tooth! top left. he has such sharp little choppers. 


want to give us a vote? we would love that!

i guess he was tired

he went from this..

to this...

in a matter of two minutes. we were playing on the floor when all the sudden he laid down and went to sleep. 

auntie's have the best toys!

more from our nyc trip. 

enjoying a lazy sunday morning with his auntie.

if you don't know this store, you should check it out. so many wonderful goodies! a few cravings...

to market we go

one of the best things about the warmer weather is being able to browse around the outside markets.

this past weekend we were up in new york city, saturday was beautiful and we walked around the union square market. i picked up some nice fresh herb plants to add to my garden, some amazing wine and a few cute mini cacti to add to my terrarium.

i would say thats a successful trip!

tv time with the unk

whoa this is interesting

like, really interesting

seriously. you should watch this mom. 

spring is coming

its that time of year. the time when you still need a jacket but you can enjoy the day outside without running for cover. the time of year when i break out my flip flops because i am so desperate for it to be flip flop season and that slightest bit of warmth is enough to make me pull them out of my closet. 

grayson and i took advantage of the warmth that has been trying so hard to break through by going for a nice long walk in the park. there are no leaves on the trees and a thin layer of ice still on the lake but the sun is warm. it's coming. spring!

we strolled around for a very long time enjoying the air. it made for a nice relaxing nap, for some of us anyway. 

vote for us?
