19 months

Jake is 19 months old..where did the time go? It seems that he is picking up new words each day and putting them together to communicate a bit better too.

Here are a few of his new quotes:

"Hi, Mommy!" (insert Daddy, MiMi, YaYa, Papa etc)
"Crackah, pease" (Cracker please)
"Teeff teeff" (I want to brush my teeth)
"Bye Ahnny" (Bye Auntie)
"Kitttttty, NOOOOO" (I like you kitty, but i'm afraid of your size)
"Moooooo, Daddy" (please move out of my way)

He continues to eat up a storm and loves to have Vanilla Wafers in his hands most of the day. He was 28.4 lbs at his last doctors appt..still growing strong. He loves dancing around the house, solo or with Mommy and Daddy. Our neighbors are quite entertained!

Elmo is now a fan favorite in the house..and...I hate to even type it.. Barney. Today Jake watched a Barney show and really enjoyed it. He was dancing to the music and mimicing the kids/purple things moves. It was quite entertaining to say the least! He also enjoys watching "puppies"..as he has a Snow Buddy move featuring a gang of puppies. His favorite pup is Uncle Tim's dog..at Christmas he was a bit afraid of B"Ella" but has not stopped saying her name anytime dogs come into conversation.

Spring 2010 semester is almost here..let the madness begin yet again for the Gregson family. With not only classes starting, but tax season as well - it's going to be a very busy spring semester. Bring it on..we can handle it. I HOPE!

Happy Birthday Dana!

Our very special friend, Dana turned 21 today! Dana is a close friend and co-worker of mine and was one of the first people to get the chance to babysit Jake last summer...he loves playing with her and she often spoils him with gifts!



Happy 21st Dana, we love you!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! 2009 was a great year for the Gregson's..Alex got a new job, we both accomplished a lot school-wise, Jake had a great year growing more and more each and every one of the 365 days! The high for us was buying our first home.we are so happy to have finally reached the goal of home ownership.

Not to say it was all roses, we lost a special person, Gramma Betty, but we know she is now Jake's second guardian angel, joining Grampa John in watching over him. He is one lucky boy!

We had our ups and downs but as a family, with the awesome support system that we have, we accomplished so much and look forward to what is in store for us this year!

Bring on 2010!
