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.

Celebrate Good Times
Another weekend has come and gone..why do they pass so quickly? Jake enjoyed a weekend full of birthday celebrations. Saturday he went to a birthday party for his cousin Hannah and enjoyed spending time with his family - grandparents, cousins and Aunts. On Sunday, we traveled up to MA to visit his Great Gramma Bettie for her ##th birthday. She hasn't seen Jake too much since he was born, so it was great to get up there and visit her and our uncles as well. Jake got to spend time with Ya Ya, Auntie Courtney and cousin Mia again, who just loves playing with him.
Mia loves having "baby Jake" around but inquired about getting her crib back from him because she would like to have baby of her own soon. I told her I'd talk to the Easter Bunny about getting her a baby doll for Easter..let's hope that keeps her happy!
With the weather going from cold to Spring-like and back again Jake's cold has stuck around. We hope the warm weather comes and stays for good soon and all the germs go away! He is battling a cough right now but hopefully it gets better. The good news is, he continues to take a bottle at Daycare, so we are thinking this is a sign that his ears are not infected again.
Just a few pics of him and his favorite ladies YaYa & Grammy..

Genes
First off.. Happy Greek Independence Day! Jake sported baby blue today in honor of this Greek holiday. Yes, he is Greek (there's A LOT to love about Jake..Greek, Irish, French, English etc...you name it!). His Greek heritage can be traced back to his Great Grandfather, James "Jake" Serfes, for whom he was named after.
Here he is showing his Greek pride and promoting the importance of taking your daily vitamins :
And..not only did he get his Greek genes from Great Grampa Jake - the full head of hair gene as well:
We spent the early part of our Wednesday at the Dr's office getting Jake's ears checked. Since he had a few ear infections they wanted to follow up to make sure they were gone. While the ear infections were indeed gone, there was still fluid in his right ear. He has had a cold this week with a runny nose so she thought maybe that's where the fluid was coming from. We will go back again in 2 weeks to make sure the fluid is gone. If he does continue to get more ear infections we will be directed to an "Ear, Nose & Throat" Dr and go over options then. Hopefully, there are no more infections! Genetics are not on his side, however. I had constant ear infections growing up and asked the Dr if this had any effect (or is it affect?) on Jake..she said it is hereditary because they are caused by your bone structure and how the fluid drains..what a lucky boy! Let's just hope this gene is not passed on!
Jake was a huge help around the house this afternoon, vacuuming the dining room for me. I walked by him as I was vacuuming and he latched right on to it. He had such a grip on the vacuum and was literally pushing it! He is so strong and was having such a great time, it was hard for me to get the vacuum back from him!
We better check RI's Child Labor Laws..
How do I get this thing into my bedroom?
After looking at today's pictures I have to say - it was a BAD hair day! Indoor and outdoors, I made him wear his hat today..blame it on Mommy!

Welcome Spring!
Hope everyone enjoyed their first Spring Weekend! Jake and I spent some time outdoors on Saturday at the St Patrick's 5K race and parade in Providence. Jake got to hang out with Sarah and her nephew Ben while Mommy and a few friends ran the race. In all, it was a fun day- getting to spend some time outdoors and having lunch after the race with friends was a great way to kickoff Spring.
Jake is just starting to go to restaurants more and more lately and does such a great job in a high chair keeping himself entertained. We keep him busy by feeding him solids or puffs..but for a majority of the time he will play with toys or survey the scene. He is such a busy body and likes to take everything in! I was a bit nervous after the race on Saturday, taking him out to lunch with the little energy I had after running the race..but thankfully he was such good little man!
Saturday night, Alex and I got to go to dinner with April & Greg and friends for April's upcoming birthday. I highly recommend Union Station Brewery in Providence - great beer & food! The little man got to spend some time at Grammy and Grampa's house and even got to sleep over. Amazingly, he is getting as big as the crib over there!
He is now sitting up in his tub as of a few days ago and now loves "tubby time" even more. It's cute to watch him splash like crazy and stop for a second as he gets water in his eyes..then he does it all over again. Here's a picture from tonight's bath time:
A shoutout to Jen Williams who finished her first ever race this weekend and did an awesome job!
The Gregsons welcome Spring and can't wait to spend more weekends outdoors!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy (belated) St Patrick's Day to you all! Jake enjoyed his first Green Holiday in style. He saved the Notre Dame jersey from Uncle Timmy for this very special day and wore it with great pride. After a long day at school he took his Mom and Dad to The Willows for some Corn Beef and a few drinks.
He was a hit at The Willows, smiling at anyone and everyone - sharing his cute Irish grin with the whole restaurant. He really loved all the action - the place was packed and he couldn't get enough of all the green and all the people. He especially had a grip on a few bottles..which made Mommy a little nervous.
** WARNING - There was no consumption of alcohol by anyone under the age of 9 months in the making of these pictures.
What are you drinking Mommy?
20 more years, really?
In other news....Jake's new favorite trick is clapping! If you say "YEAHHH" he will smile and clap for you. It is so cute to see. Today he was clapping a ton and also talking up a storm.. Dadda & Mamma being his favorite words, of course. We enjoyed our Wednesday together and got out for an hour for a walk down at the ocean with one of his favorite people, Dana and her polar bear dog. He loved the dog, and wants one for his 1st birthday. Please, do not buy him a dog. He also had a date with a few ladies tonight..one of them being Miss Sidney St Louis..they shared laughs over toys and had a great time!
Hope you all had a fun & safe St Patrick's Day!

Back to Jake
Thanks for all the well wishes..the little man is back to himself! He was pretty sick Thursday night and all day Friday. His fever seemed to "break" Friday night and Saturday he was much more himself. Friday, Alex and Grammy Deb took shifts taking care of him and cuddling the little guy back to health. Saturday I was home with him and he was so much more himself..walking around in his walker, bumping into every wall in the house and rolling around the floor searching for my cellphone.
Saturday afternoon we had a visit from cousin Mia and Auntie Courtney. Jake loved spending time with Mia and couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She was a big help - from helping at Jake's bath time to offering to "hold him" while I fed him before bed (now THAT would have been a sight!), she did it all. It is amazing that just a few years ago she was as tiny as he is. She is 4.5 years old now and just the cutest little girl ever! She loves to help and be the "big cousin". She also loves to ask questions about her own infancy and is so proud of the fact that she got to hand things down to Jake such as her crib and changing table.
Sunday the Gregsons hit Newport and Jake got to get out of the house for some fresh air! It was a treat for all three of us! Lunch and a little bit of shopping was exactly what the three of us needed!
Jake was back to "school" today after being out for several days and did very well. He hasn't been taking the bottle much for them - looking back now, it's most likely ear infections that caused this. Today he took two bottles and ate like a champ (he loves his solids!). He even napped for 1.5 hours in the morning - a huge feat for him! He normally naps great at home but at Daycare he is too busy checking everything out to sleep. He was more than ready for bedtime tonight (6:15 ish!) and went down like a champ.
So..we are extremely happy that Jake is feeling better! He goes back to the Dr. next Wednesday for a checkup of his ears. Let's hope the infections are gone and stay gone! Thanks again to everyone who checked in on him daily....and a BIG thanks to Grammy for all the extra TLC on Thursday & Friday.
Happy Monday! :)

Sick little man
We just got back not too long ago from the doctor. Jake was sent home from Daycare today with a 101.2 temp :(. He missed his date with Sidney last night (raincheck, Sid?) because he was a bit under the weather and it only got worse today.
He is a lucky boy and got to spend some time with Grammy who picked him up from Daycare and cuddled with him for a few hours before I got out. Alex met us and we brought Jake in tonight to the Dr..he has (another) double ear infection and had a temp of 103.3. The high temp is just so scary to me! Basically, they put him on a stronger medicine to knock the ear infections out. He had a double ear infection just 3 weeks ago, so they don't think he would respond to the same thing he was prescribed the last time. SO..he will take this new med and go back in two weeks to make sure they are both gone.
It is just so sad to see him this sick. His eyes are really glassy and he just isn't himself. He showed a few signs of the on the go guy he normally is today in his walker..but it didn't last too long. Hopefully, this stronger med kicks in quick and he is back to his non-stop self tomorrow! Alex will stay with him tomorrow and work a bit later and then Grammy will be back to hang out tomorrow afternoon.
Let's hope the nice weather comes soon so that all these germs and viruses go away! Bring on the sunshine and the outdoors!
Oh..he weighed in at 21.6 lbs...not too shabby!

Big Boy, Big Changes
In the past two weeks Jake has gone from his infant seat to a big boy car seat (a BIG thanks to M&M&H) and a new stroller! It took some time for him to get used to the reclining position of the infant seat to sitting up in the new car seat, but he is liking it more and more now.
His new wheels are great - he loves the ride. We brought him to the mall last week during nap time but he was too busy checking out the scene at the mall to nap! He loves strolling malls, and is looking forward to getting back to the beach this summer to walk the wall again. He has another sweet ride - an AWD Bob Jogging Stroller that we all can't wait to use once the weather cooperates. We have already planned to use this in May at: http://www.theraceforgrace.com/ in May. If anyone wants to join us, please let us know.
We are pretty new at this blog thing, so be patient with us as we test some things out! For now, while Jake naps, Mommy has some chores to do. Hope you are all enjoying this yucky Wednesday! Jake is resting up in preparation for his dinner date with Sidney tonight. What a lucky guy!

Trying it out
I thought i'd create a spot just for Jake. A place for us to log his latest milestones, pictures and the happenings in our family. It seems the past 8 months have gone by too quickly. Each day I promise to document things, funny things he does or the dates of his "firsts", aside from jotting things in his baby book we haven't documented enough. This will make it easier and even better - we will be able to share it with family and friends.
His latest milestone is finger foods. He has not mastered the whole "pick up a piece with pointer and thumb and insert food into mouth" trick, but he is trying. He loves to put puffs in his mouth and copy us by chewing on them as they quickly just desolve in his mouth . We have been helping him by putting the puffs in his mouth- but at a huge risk of losing our fingers. He currently has 8 teeth (yes, EIGHT) and can chew pretty well. We will probably move up to Cherrios soon, but Mommy just isn't ready for that!
He also has been driving around the house in his stylish new walker that Grammy bought him. It is a sight to see, and hopefully I can get a video of this up, with the help of Alex. Until we get a baby gate, we have put the stroller in the doorway to the kitchen to prevent him from going in there. He will plow his walker into the highchair, back up, plow into the high chair, back up..over and over until he has successfuly entered the kitchen. He is a human wrecking ball, but has loads of fun while doing it!
