Time passes too quickly and we don't get to write as often as we'd like! This past weekend was beautiful and Jake got to get outside to enjoy it..from family pictures down at the beach to Wilson Park for Mommy's soccer game, we enjoyed being outdoors for a majority of the weekend.
It's amazing how times have changed. At Wilson Park on Sunday our women's soccer team was playing as the Dad's and male friends sat in the shade caring for the babies and cheering the women on. I don't ever remember as a child going to any sporting events and watching my mom play, it was always the Dads! I am proud to be a soccer Mom, but not the average kind who sits and watches!
Today would have been Jake's Grandpa John's 60th birthday..we wish him a Happy Birthday as he watches over us every day and will celebrate as he would have - with a nice big bowl of ice cream!

Wednesday!
Back to having a Wednesday off..we had a great day, despite the yucky weather. Jake and I hit up East Greenwich and "Mother Goose" story time at the library. True to it's website description it was a 20-30 minute story time for children 3 months to 2 years. It was a great interaction with other kids, lots of singing, reading and free play as well. While he was the youngest there, he was definitely one of the most well behaved. Some of you know, Jake had a minor incident at school last week..he "bit" another child. Apparently, the teacher thought he was leaning in to kiss another child but he chomped down instead. No blood, no skin even broken! So, we are now careful with how we "play"...I will no longer play bite his chubby cheeks! Well, at story time he was kicked! HA! A sweet little girl was a bit jealous of Jake and his hogging of "Spot" the stuffed dog. It was a soft, love tap I believe. BUT, it did make me feel a WHOLE lot better about Jake's recent actions! Kids will be kids!
We are looking forward to sunny weather this weekend and hope to get out to the Sea Wall and walk on Saturday morning. Bring on the weekend and it's sunshine!!

Go Sox!
A real baseball game??
We had a wonderful weekend full of Sox action! Saturday we took Jake to McCoy stadium in Pawtucket, RI for his very first Pawtucket Red Sox Game. He was decked out in Sox attire and had a wonderful time! We finally got to get out with the Bjorn. In Jake's younger months, Daddy would walk the house with him in the Bjorn..we finally got to get out of the house with it!
He had a smile on his face the whole walk to the park!
The stadium wasn't too crowded so it was very easy to have the little guy there with us. We met up with many friends there who passed him around like the World Series Trophy the whole game. He loves to play with hats, so this was a great setting for him.
A few friends..
Sunday, Alex and I got to head to Fenway for the Sox-Orioles game. Sorry to disappoint, but there are no pictures of the two of us at the game. If Jake's not with us, neither is the camera. Thank you to Auntie Kaylin, Grammy and Grampa for taking care of the little guy while we got to enjoy a day at the ballpark. A date at Fenway was just what we needed. Samantha and Courtney met us at the game, a nice surprise as they got tickets this morning and let us steal them for a bit.
I must pass the computer over to Daddy who has a PAPER to write! Wish Alex luck as he finishes up his semester!!
Oh..Happy Greek Easter!!!

Short but Sweet
Hope the Easter Bunny was good to everyone. Jake and fam enjoyed a great weekend filled with lots of candy (the only time we wont feel guilty eating the little man's candy), food, and wonderful people. We have had YaYa Connie visiting for the weekend and loved every minute of it. Jake loves having house guests!
The weekend wiped us out..but we will post some cute pics (did Jake don a TIE for Easter?) and more info on our actin packed weekend soon.

Happy Wednesday
Our Wednesday started wonderfully with Jake sleeping in until 8:30, which allowed me to sleep in as well. That's always a good start to any day! We hit up the Dr's again for Jake's 9 month appt. He weighed in at 21 lbs 10 ounces (60th percentile) and is 29 1/4 inches long (72nd percentile). Overall, the Dr thinks he is very well nourished and right on track. Again, he had fluid in his ears but this is most likely due to the congestion he still has. As long as it doesn't turn into an ear infection, we wont have to visit an ENT doctor anytime soon. He doesn't go back to the Dr for another three months when he turns a year old (already??).
Speaking of a year old..we are starting to get questioned on when the next lil' Gregson will be joining our family. I was out shopping today and a cashier at a store asked me when Jake was going to become a big brother. I just laughed it off and listened to this woman telling me how far apart in age her kids were and her own siblings and that I shouldn't wait too long. Thanks, very nice cashier. We know Jake wont be be an only child..but we are in no rush to make him a big bro anytime soon. I just want to enjoy the little man for the time being and not worry at this point how close in age his siblings will be. Alex and I have siblings ranging from 1 minute to 11 years apart..we have an idea of what both spectrums are! We love our siblings, regardless of the age difference and we think we are pretty close to them as well.
Jake and I got to catch some of the Red Sox Opening Day action and are excited for upcoming season! We are toying with the idea of taking him to a Paw Sox game next weekend..

GO SOX!
Jake wants to wish his big cousin Mia good luck this weekend..Mia is playing in her very first soccer game!
Go # 3!
How cute is she???
We will be very busy this weekend and hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend! XO

Fun in the Sun
The Gregsons hit Newport on Sunday and had a great day! First off was Mommy's soccer game right on the water at Ft. Adams. The weather was wonderfully sunny but also very windy. With all the rain lately the field conditions were not the greatest but FCFC prevailed 1-0 despite the wind and mud! A big welcome back to Sidney's mommy - Marissa who just 7.5 months from delivering Sidney, played in her first outdoor game! She kicked butt and scored the games only goal - a true soccer mom!
While Marissa and I and the rest of the FC's played, Alex and Sid's daddy Brian took care of the babies. They did a great job entertaining the little people and had as much fun as we did, I am sure!
Preparing for the game:
They too battled the win and muddy conditions like true soccer Dads and even put both babies to sleep in the process.
After the game, we hit up an Irish pub in Newport for lunch and both babies were just adorable sitting in their high chairs making googly eyes at each other and holding hands at times. I'm sure this wont be the last time they sit in a bar laughing at each other..
We have a busy week ahead with a Dr. appt on Wednesday (what else would we do on a Wednesday?) and then a visit to MA on Saturday. YaYa Connie will be visiting RI this weekend too..we are excited for a weekend of family fun!

Update
Another Wednesday and another trip to the Dr! Jake has a pretty bad cough (croup like and sounds like it hurts!) and we were a bit worried that the ear infections may be back. He refused bottles yesterday at Daycare...something he does with infections. Thankfully, his ears looked great. They did put him on in inhaler for the cough though. It is extremely difficult to give him the inhaler treatment but we are hoping that with time it gets better. Today I let him play with the mask afterwards, I'm hoping he sees it as more of a toy than an inhaler. Time will tell. We will go back yet again next week for his scheduled 9 month appt (why the couldn't just combine it with the visits we had last week or this week is beyond me..they are making bank off of his co-pays I guess!).
Jake weighed in at a healthy 21 lbs 11 ounces again today, no change from last week. I can't wait until next weeks appt to find out what percentile he is in..I am assuming 90th still.
April fools day has arrived for the Gregson family but we didn't find it too funny..yet another on of our cars ( a borrowed one, at that) is on the fritz. We are on the search for a used Nissan Pathfinder..if anyone out there sees one at a decent price, please let us know! I highly suggest that if you have a car that is in perfect working order, do NOT allow Alex or I to drive it..we break cars apparently! I'm thinking we need to move to a major city where transportation is offered at a daily rate.
