...And The Adventures Began


One year ago

today began our adventures in babywearing. He was born quickly and beautifully. Not fully pain-free, but yes totally med-free and intervention-free.

We didn't even know your name until we met you, our Grayson Roger. Middle name after your paternal grampa.


Gray, you weren't much, quite a small thing, but you made our family complete.

Your brothers adored you.

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..."

You were less than a minute old and we couldn't imagine life without you.

I am so with flip flop mamma. You look way too beautiful for having a baby, let alone med-free! But then again, with such a precious guy like Grey, what would we expect? :o)

Happy Birthday to your little man!! And remember mama, he's still a baby until 2. (That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!)
