Boys...

Greyson is 100% boy (except he has a very girly scream). He is just so... active. And now he has the bumps and bruises to prove it. I remember Raegan always had little bruises on her head too, but not quite like Greyson's. His are very impressive. I'm pretty sure he's going to have at least one big bruise on his head at all times until he's 5 (or 18). And soon he'll start getting them in other places, probably his shins like Raegan.
Typical collection of bruises (probably 3 or 4 different ones). Most common causes I've seen are doors, cupboards, and Raegan of course.
Here he also has a small scratch on his nose and a good mark on his eye. Don't know where they came from though.
Here you can see the start of my favorite bruise so far. See the line down the middle of his forehead that looks like a vein. It's not. It's from walking along the bookshelf. He slipped and smacked face first into the vertical part. Ouch!
And here's what it looks like today. Man was it hard to get a picture of it. It's a pretty good bump though. It's even darker than that in real life. I'm just hoping the kid never breaks a bone. I'm not feeling particularly confindent.
Here are a few bonus pics. This one is just cool because I caught Raegan dropping the toy with my crappy camera.
Not a great picture of me, but I don't take very many of myself with the kids. Plus he's cute enough for the both of us.

Awesome Videos

Here is a short video of Raegan singing. I'm hoping all kids sing like this and it doesn't indicate that she has inherited my singing ability (or lack thereof). If so oh well, it's still super duper cute. Can you tell what song she's singing? Good for you if you can. She sings this song constantly and usually very very loudly. She also sings her ABC's, Ring Around the Rosie, and Itsy Bitsy Spider often. Recently she's also started to say prayers all by herself. Last week her bedtime prayer went like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for Greyson, thank you for Raegan, thanks for Mom, thanks for Dad. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." It was awesome. I felt like a pretty good parent that night.

Greyson is fast. I mean really fast. It always surprises me how quickly he can get from one place to the other. I'm happy for him, but secretly dreading the day he can walk (which will probably be soon) because I'm sure he'll start running soon after that. He loves balls. This soccer ball is one of his favorites. I love how he chases it, catches it, then rolls it away and chases after it again. This little game keeps him very busy. As does following his sister around and playing with her toys. He now has 4 teeth and sleeps pretty well. I can't believe how big he is getting.
