6 months
So much has happened since i blogged last...grays 6 month birthday came and went and now she is over 7 months old!! lets go back to november...
we have officially had a baby for half a year! it has been so much fun watching her grow into such a mobile and talkative little person. right after she turned 6 months she became mobile and is now crawling ALL over the place, usually right to the Christmas tree! (pics to come)
at 6 months she was eating all sorts of food, learning to crawl and can even say she has rode a horse! we are super busy getting ready for Christmas but several post to come this week!
6 months!
see...even my sign says so!
at reeses birthday party
my first ride...i LOVED it and giggled the whole time!
daddy let me pet the horse first to make sure i liked it :)
dont you think i look like my daddy more and more everyday?

Circus time!
last thursday gray and i were invited by my mother-in-law, barbara (aka~baba) to join she and my nephew chase at the circus that came to norman. i was not sure how gray would do for two hours at the circus, or how i would react to the clowns!! i hate 'em!
luckly....there were no real clowns!! and gray loved it!
we got there early for the animal riding/feeding festivities. chase rode the horses, and gray watched and daydreamed about the day she too would be able to ride. the animal feeding was a different story. chase was nervous to feed them and after baba screeched from being licked by the goat tongue, gray wasnt sure about feeding them either!
it was such a fun day and i was so proud of gray for being sure a good girl!
"maybe one day ill get to ride too...."
go chase!
he looked like a pro
(bad lighting) but gray with the circus sign
so much fun!
attempted pic with baba...chase was distracted by the elephants!
feeding the goats
and then the screech...gray got scared and was NOT happy!
not the best pic, but hey, you get what you get!
sno-cone time!
chase got a light toy and gray wanted one too...really just to chew on....thanks baba for the awesome toy!
"wow, look at the lights on this thing!"
yummy!
we had such a great time and cant wait for the circus to come back next year!
thanks again baba, we love you!!

5 months!
so again i made a promise that i did not keep...i was determined to blog at least once a week, and now another month has gone by with no blog posts....oops!
rest easy though, i have a list of at least three new post that i WILL do next week! so be looking for another gray fix next week!
with that said.....5 MONTHS??!!?? REALLY???!!!
so much has happened in just one short month...gray is eating food! i have decided to go the home made route, and have found it to be very easy, and so very cost effective! if you are interested in making your own baby food i recommend this site:
it is full of great info!
gray started with butter nut squash, then green beans, and tomorrow we start carrots! she has loved (well, not "loved" the green beans) everything and is eating like a champ!
at her 4 month visit (after our blog post) she weighed in at 13.5 lbs. and 27" of course the food is helping with, umm, weight gain, but she is still long and lean!
gray has always been a talker, and is now making "words" that sound like "mama" and "dada" of course the professionals say this is just baby gabber, but we think she is talking to us, so.... let us think it! :)
she is a MOVER! she loves to roll all over the place, and is starting to do a lot of pushing up...oh dear, i feel crawling coming on WAY sooner than i am ready for! we are also about to sit up...its so hard getting that balancing thing down so we still teeter and totter a bit, but she's working on it!
i cant believe that on the 16th of November that she will be half a year old...where has time gone?
enjoy the pics of her 5 month photo shoot, and i will see you all next week...i promise! :)
im 5 months!
and cute...dont you think?

humm...what is this thing??
looks tasty...
everything goes in my mouth!
yummm!!!

the end.

4 Months!!!
Can you believe it? (I certainly can't) Gray is 4 Months old!
The last four months have flown by, but not without a bunch of big mile stones...
~Rolling over...back to front AND front to back
~Giggling...its the cutest noise in the world!
~Sleeping through the night....and when I say through the night I mean 12-13 hours!
~Eating....Rice cereal, she thinks its yummy! (pics blow)
We don't have our 4 month appointment until the 28th, but I had the chance to weigh Gray the other day..a whooping 13 lbs. 3 ounces!!
I cant wait to see how long she is, Im telling you this girl is going to be a tall one.
I know that this month will go by as fast (or faster) than the last, but we are trying to capture every wonderful blessing that we witness through our little girl. I can not wait to see what happens next...
On the agenda for Grays fourth month: A trip to Iowa (Grays first at the pig farm for girls weekend), A whole weekend away (OU/TX, Grays staying with Grammy and Ompa), and another trip to Tulsa.
4 Months Old!!
Big Girl, Big blue eyes!!
Daddy getting me ready for my first meal!
Its YUMMY!
Delish!
Decisions, decisions...
More mom..
Messy face!

Boomer Sooner Baby!
Sooner Born, Sooner Bred!
Its football time again in Oklahoma, and we couldn't be more excited!
Even though Gray didn't get to go to the first game, and probably won't make it to one THIS season, she LOVES to show her sooner pride.
As of now we have two season tickets, but we'll have to work on getting a third, cause this girl is already a HUGE Sooner fan!
Sooners are already 2 for 2, I feel a GREAT year coming on.
BOOMER SOONER!
#1 Sooner Fan
Giggles!
We are in a big smiling/giggling phase, and I love it! She has the sweetest giggle EVER!
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma....OKU!

A Great Idea, and Deal for YOU!
**all images above I borrowed from "The Hostess with the Mostess".....and she is! If you don't believe me check out her blog (www.hostessblog.com), trust me you'll be hooked :)
I ran into a friend who was interested in doing this for her daughters birthday, and asked if Id be interested...the answer was YES!
I actually LOVE this idea, Im going to invest in some permanent props (I love the chalk board word bubbles, and painted frames!) that I would have available for parties. I think giving families a photo as a party favor is such a fun idea and a great "Thank You" for coming!
At this time I am still trying to build my portfolio and I am offering a great deal on family/kid sessions ($150 session with at least 10-15 edited images, more depending on the number of people. You can then either purchase prints through me or buy the right to the CD for $50!!! Its a great deal and wont last long!) so thought Id offer a great deal for this fun party option as well...
$200 for the party photographer and use of props, discounted 5x7's for you to purchase as party favors, and a link to share with party goers where they can view/order the parties images. I will also throw in a CD of some of YOUR families images...HOLY COW thats a steal!
I think that this would also be so fun for holiday parties!
Let me know if you are interested or would like more information
I am also offering fall mini sessions, perfect for halloween images...$100 for session, with option to buy prints, or $150 for session and CD!
Hope to see you all soon!

Giraffe obsessed!
Lately we have been loving giraffes around our house. The obsession started with Grays "Sophie" giraffe toy (they are great for chewing, you can get one at Tiny Tulips in Norman). Gray absolutely LOVES chewing on hers, Sophie goes everywhere with us. One day I was calling the giraffes horns "horns" and after a debate on whether they were actually "horns" or "antenna" we decided to look it up....we discovered they are actually called ossicones, a word my daughter will learn at an early age, I mean I cant have her using the wrong terminology! A few days later after fretting about what she will be for Halloween, I "fell" into the Gap (okay, okay, I frequent the place, its a weakness of mine!) and found this:
Really??? How cute is this??? So...I bought it! Im going to add a pink bow by the ear so it is clear that this is a GIRL giraffe! I cant wait to post pics, I just KNOW that its going to be presh!
this is "Sophie" the Giraffe, if you have a little one, this is a must!
We also just discovered that Grays favorite pink blanket from PB that her Aunt and Uncle gave her at birth also has a giraffe on it, and its GRAY! How fortuitous!
Halloween pics to follow....in October.....much closer to Halloween :)
