Party at the Riemans'!!


Both Creux and his Daddy were exhausted this evening so I captured a fun night at the Rieman household without them knowing it. Not the best picture of Jeremy, but how good can you look when you are asleep and drooling?! Creux pulls it off though. He looks so peaceful in his Daddy's arms. Grayson is in bed, Creux and Jeremy are passed out on the couch and I'm watching Cremson Tide for the third time this week. I really need to get out of the house more! lol. Actually, I'm enjoying every minute of my time with Creux until we have to go back to work after Thanksgiving. The plan is that he'll go with me as long as everything works out and he's not too difficult, which he usually isn't. I've got a nursery planned for him in one of the tanning rooms that we don't utilize, where I can put a couch and his Pac N Play. I've got a feeling that he will be in his sling around my waste most of the time with as much as he likes to be held. Thanks Grandma Vickie! lol.

Aunt Alison Comes to Visit!


Alison finally got to meet Creux last week! He was wearing his St. Louis Cardinals outfit that Dave and Debbie got him as Alison lives about 10 minutes from them in St. Louis. We had a very nice visit. Grayson had a little bit of a rough time sharing her, as Ali is HER Godmother and has always come to visit just her. But overall she did pretty well once she got used to the idea and got over her case of "Look at Me's" as we call it. Alison couldn't get over how small he was as her son Ethan was over 10lbs when born! Creux still hasn't caught up with him at birth! It was great to see her. I wish we lived closer as she's been my friend since 2nd grade and probably knows me better than anyone. Wait a second, that might be a bad thing! lol.


We go in for a weigh in this week to see how Creux is progressing, but his jaundice is gone. He's white an pasty like his father now! He grew out of his first Newborn sleeper today. It must've been smaller than the others, but his 0-3 months fit him now in length finally. He still looks so small when his Daddy cuddles with him though. We had a little projectile vomiting out of his nose about an hour ago. It was not fun and always makes me feel like he's going to get it in his lungs. I don't remember Grayson ever doing that, but Creux does it about once every 3 days. Mommy the worrier.

She Loves Her Baby Brother!

Grayson started reading Creux his first book today. It was soooo cute! I just realized how much help she will be, and is right now actually. A built in babysitter and helper who loves him as much as we do! Can't get any better than that! If she hears him cry, she's right there with a binky trying to soothe him. If he's sleeping, she's kissing on him. She loves him so much! And to think, she started second guessing this order she put in for a baby brother about a week before his birth. She's happy with her initial decision now....but let's see how she is when he's mobile and wanting all of her toys! Should be interesting!
