Our Day in Pictures

12:57 PM Amanda Greathouse 0 Comments

Well fall has basically come & gone already here in Germany! The leaves changed for a hot second & have been falling to the ground all week. We are finally back on a normal schedule since returning from our visit in the states. Greyson is doing well with naps but still having a little trouble sleeping long stretches at night.

I was thinking. We take pictures of all the big moments - the firsts, fancy times and just things we think we have to document. Well what about the everyday stuff? Greyson & I do almost the same thing every day but I love it & wouldn't change it for the world. So why not remember the little things to?! The silly faces he makes as his personality grows daily. The random things he gets his little hands on that he probably shouldn't. The everyday love between us that isn't posed or choreographed. 

Well this is it. This is us. 

A little Pinterest & coffee while Greyson hangs out & I wake up

Breakfast with my lil guy - this particular morning was mango

Play time! His weapon of choice - the remote of course!

He climbs up there all by himself. Staring down the floor trying how to get back down

"Hey mom! I need to eat the camera now!"

Climbing on mommy. I make a pretty sweet baby mountain!

Story time! He spends most of the time trying to rip out the pages or eat the book, but it works! 

Post-nap #1. "Mom! No cameras!!"

At least a solid 5 minutes of peek-a-boo! One of his favorite things to do! 

Lunch. This day he wanted some of my garlic bread. I'm nice so I share!

He loves the music and lights on the walking toy

Puppy kisses! 

Cup ninja swiped my water! Hasn't quite mastered the straw yet!

RIP F1 key! You will surely be missed.. 

Post-Nap #2. Being playful in his crib! 


My adorable little guy. He loves posing for some pictures

"I look ridiculous! Get this thing off of my head!" Yeah.. it lasted about 10 seconds. As did our walk since it was colder than I expected

Daddy's home! He gets so excited now when daddy comes home to play!

He just needed a little coffee.. 

Helping daddy make dinner. Maybe I should get him a little apron? Ha

Telling daddy about his day! He is so chatty during dinner. Only a matter of time before he's actually saying words! 

Nothing monumental happened this day. But I am so happy to have these pictures & to be able to have them to share. Greyson is growing up faster than I could've imagined & I just hope I can remember him being this small for as long as I can!

8 Months

4:32 PM Amanda Greathouse 0 Comments

I know its a bit late... but Greyson is 8 months old now! 


New Foods: Blueberries, Waffles, Yogurt, Pumpkin, Pasta, Garlic Bread
Favorite Activities: pulling himself to stand & cruising along furniture, trying to grab anything mommy or daddy have, chasing the dogs, watching football


We visited a few pumpkin patches & Greyson got his own baby pumpkin
New Browns gear for my boys! 
Ouchie from a minor mishap involving Grey's face & the floor! 

Our big man trying to brush his imaginary teeth 
Mesmerized by The Grinch - yes, we were watching The Grinch in October. Sue me! 

Just taking a stroll with the toy! 

Greyson is now more mobile than I could've imagined he would be by this point in time! He is finally trying to move on his knees a bit, but usually chooses the low-crawl mode for his everyday mischievous needs. If there is anything within his arms reach that he isn't supposed to play with, those little hands will be on it like white on rice! Geez this kid is quick! 

We've started doing a mix of pureed baby food & finger foods since his pincer grasp is pretty awesome! He loves trying new foods & eating the things that mommy & daddy have. Just today I was forced to share my yogurt with him! I thought I had a little more time before we had a food ninja on ours hands! The dogs like when he gets finger foods though since he will hold his hands down by his sides & sneak them bits of stuff. 

Greyson is obsessed with doors & his new discovery has been the doors to the TV stand! He could sit & play with them alllll day & trust me, he has!
Daddy making him feel better after shutting his fingers in the TV stand doors.. which he was back playing with a few minutes later. Babies! 
His favorite "toy" - the remote! 
He frantically crawled over to his book, flipped it open & put his face on the book & started whispering to it! He is so silly its adorable! 

It's been an interesting week since we got back from our trip to the states! All 3 of us had a dance with a stomach bug that grounded us for a couple of days. We [& by we I mean mostly me] have battled with a jet lagged baby who wants to play from 12-3 AM. I have managed to clean out the clothes Greyson no longer fits & make piles on the floor of all of the bigger sized new clothes he just acquired. Restocked our entire kitchen that we left bare just before we left. And have done lots of chasing & cuddling. To end this crazy week, I get to cuddle with my amazing hubby & enjoy a BIG glass of wine while the baby [hopefully] sleeps! Look forward to a post about our trip & travels!
