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! :)
