His Name is Official

I don't know why, but Wade and I neither one felt like Wyatt was the name of the baby in my belly. We both love that name, but it didn't fit. So after much prayer, several looks at baby name websites, and a lot of waiting on my part; the name was finally whispered to my husband. Grayson Lyle. Grayson has been a favorite of mine since before Grady, and Lyle was Wade's grandfather's name. We are so excited and can't wait to see who he looks like. Grady keeps wanting to call him Wyatt, but he laughs when we correct him.


Grayson is due to arrive in just eight short weeks. Grady and Will were both two weeks early, so it could be sooner. Dr. B says everything looks good. Be praying that he is head down, because the next time I go in, she will check. He already appears to be getting a personality.


Will took two steps yesterday. He also stood for the first time yesterday. This has been a week of change for him. Saturday, he learned to say "thank you" and started clapping. If you say "YEAH Will!", he just grins really big and starts clapping. It's just a week and a half until his birthday. I am amazed at how much he is growing up, just all of a sudden.


Grady is doing very well. He had a wonderful thanksgiving with his Grana and Grandpa and all his cousins. We did our Christmas with Wade's family early as I will be unable to travel at that time. It was so nice. The kids had new toys to play with. Grady got a pirates costume, a dvd player for the car, his first real game, books; our car was packed to the gills on the way home.

We stopped in Jasper for a couple of days. Wade is on a deer lease there with his parents; it was so nice to be out in the middle of nowhere. No distractions, cold weather, family. I even donned camo and sat in the deer stand with Wade for three and a half hours. It blessed his socks off. I never new that camo would be more exciting to Wade than a fancy dress.


Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. If you are reading this, thanks for not giving up on us. It has been difficult to find the time to blog, but I will continue to try. Keep checking in from time to time.
