Walkie Walkerson!

A little over a week ago, Grayson took 2 small steps trying to reach for his favorite choo-choo push toy. Two days later, he took 3. And the entire week he kept standing for longer and longer periods of time, without help or leaning....and yesterday he officially started walking.
So exciting!

Peek-A-Boo Balgeet!

While little Grayson spent time with his good friend Jackson yesterday, I headed off to my 17 week appointment.
Our anatomy ultrasound isn't until 21 weeks, but my doctor (who I absolutely adore!! I hope every girl has a doctor they love and trust) went ahead and tried to take a sneak peek.
Of course baby Balgeet wouldn't get into a great position, so we still have to wait 4 more weeks to confirm whether it's a Bert or a Gert. Dang!
Nonetheless, it's always fun and exciting to take a look-see and hear that heartbeat.
So here's a little preview, if you can decipher the gender, let me know! :-)

Fun Fourth with the Fam

For the 4th of July, we headed up to spend time with the entire gang of Halsteds.
It was so much fun!
The days were filled with great visiting, fantastic sightseeing, good food and all around merriment.
Not only was it fantastic seeing everyone but I wish we could have stayed longer. It’s amazing how fast that week flew by. And it’s always hard to say goodbye when we were enjoying everyone so much. The departure brought me many tears.
The only bad parts of the trip were our flights to and from. Even though we got upgraded to first class, the only perk to Dan’s endless traveling, little Grayson was not a happy camper.
He’s at the beginning stage of independence and wants to constantly be on the move. I can’t blame him for getting so upset. Maybe next time we’ll convince Scotty to beam us back and forth.
Don’t forget to check out all our pictures AND a few videos. And yes, the sweatshirts were needed. Don’t let the beautiful sunlight fool you. It was a bit chilly up there. We had a couple warmer days, but us southern folk had to bring a few winter wears.
Thanks for all the fun Halsteds.
We had a great time and need to do it again soon!
