Knuffle bunny

Corbin's favorite books before bed are the "Knuffle Bunny" series and "if you give a mouse a cookie!" We read these books almost every night. I love this night time ritual!

Funny thing that happened while Jason and I were reading 'Goodnight Moon" we were asking Corbin where the mittens where in the picture. He pointed to the kittens. It took me a minute to realize why he pointed to the kittens. In the movie Bolt the cat in the movies name is Mittens! It was super cute and Jason and thought it was super cute and funny!

Today is the day! Our MILK MONSTER!

Grayson started offically walking today! We were in his room this morning and he just started taking off from his dresser to this HUGE giffafe toy next to his crib! He almost got all the way there. He did it again a few minutes later! He is getting so big! Yay Grayson! Grayson starts in the toddler room on Monday (no more baby room... its bittersweet! because by the time Corbin was going to the toddler room I was pregnant with Grayson, so who knows if and when we will have another baby in the "baby room!") and thank goodness he started walking because I have been terrified the other kids would trample my baby! Gray looks so cute with his little arms out wobbily walk!

Our little man is also a MILK MONSTER! OMG he LOVES LOVES LOVES milk! He can sign more and say "ma" for "more" and he signs milk, he puts his pointer and thumb together like a pinscher grasp, and said "mmm." I have started to limit his milk consumption a ton because he was drinking so much his little tummy would get full and he wouldn't want to eat any food and he got sick a few times from drinking and being so full. The only problem is is that he dislikes water now! I don't know what to do! He will take a sip and then throw it on the floor! If he sees Corbin with some milk he will crawl SUPER fast, seriously I never seen this kid move this fast, to try and steal his milk from him!

I have tried giving him Keifer, its a yogurt drink with a lot of great probiotics instead of milk. But he keeps signing "more!"

I think Grayson is going to be our quiet yet mischievous child! He is a BIG climber! He loves to climb on everything! He took apart his nightlight today and took the bulb out of the light.

Merry christmas and 13 months a day later

Our sweet 13 month old!

Merry Christmas! The Ziaja's had a amazing Christmas and I hope you did too! The boys got a kitchen and grill set and have been playing and/or fighting to play with it since! We got a lot of organizational things at IKEA and our house looks somewhat in order! Thank goodness because I was getting panicky at all the toys and sheer mess that is our house all the time!

Playing in the kitchen together!

Jason surpirised me with an Ipad and so I have been reading up a storm on it! Hehe last night Corbin told me to put down my ipad and come play with him! I love our sweet boy! I love my present so much Jason!

Grayson turned 13 months yesterday! Our sweet little guy is trying to walk still but doesn't have the confidence to go it alone! He is starting to take about 3 steps towards something then falls. He is talking up a storm on Christmas eve he learned how to say "thank you!" I was lucky enough to get it on video! Its so cute!

Grayson's 12 month well check

Grayson had his 12 month appointment. He weights 19 lbs 11 oz and was 28 1/2 inches long. Our little guy was not so happy he got three shots and a finger poke to test for anemia and lead exposure! He was super upset by the time we left! I was by myself with him (Daddy picked up Corby from school for me) and he was not happy! After a few minutes of holding him he was ok! Poor little guy he had a ruff day! :(

Our Christmas tree 2010

Corbin really got into putting up ornaments on the tree! The ornament next to the one he is putting up is a little boy with a surprised look on his face that plays "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus"and after Jason showed him how to play the song we heard that song ALL evening long! :)

I love this picture! Jason took some amazing pictures! Corbin looks so sweet! :) I was mad that Jason didn't use the flash but it looks so cute! Its growing on me babe!

Another favorite! Our tree is purposelessly bare at the bottom with the non breakables or just bare because we don't want Grayson to get them!

I love how Corbin is putting up the Christmas ornaments in skeleton pjs!

School pictures

The quality isn't wonderful on here because I took pictures of the pictures to send to my parents via email!

The boys school pictures finally arrived! Jason and I were AMAZED at how adorable ALL the pictures were! We ended up buying two packages! It was so hard to choose! If you have a two year old then you may know how HARD it is to get pictures of them! Corbin HATES stopping and smiling at the camera! Well I am amazed how they actually got him to look at the camera and smile! He has some really amazing pictures. I adore the picture of my sweet boys together! :) Grayson's teacher told Jason and I we make adorable babies together! Haha! I agree wholeheartly!

On his way to walking! Go Grayson!

On Thursday night Grayson started taking a few steps! When I picked him up at daycare yesterday his note for the day said "walking lots today!" I though to myself "OH NO has he started speed walking since last night?" But his teacher told me that he was taking a few steps! Phew! Well I ran and got a big red ball and put him standing up and he seriously walked 5 steps towards me to get it! Wouldn't you know that he hasn't attempted it since! I quickly called Jason because he was on his way to pick up Corbin who was at his dad's house because he had been running a fever. Daddy was so proud!
When we left Grayson and I went to Chick-fil-a to celebrate and Mommy got a yummy gallon of sweet tea! We then came home and just enjoyed each others company the rest of the evening because Jason didn't come home until later.

Randomness Corbin ended up spending the night at Papa's house and he did really well! I was nervous! He slept in Papa and Granna's room with Aunt Tori next to him and he only woke up once at 1:00 am and stood up and kinda cried for a second but Granna went and laid down with him and he was asleep 15 minutes later. I was having major Corbin withdrawls and it was weird not to have him sleeping in our house! But I am so happy he did so well!
