Greyson - 18 months (in pictures)


Greyson is 18 months old as of September 23 - one year and one half old!
The world as he knew it came to a screeching halt on September 4 when his
baby brother came into the world.
He no longer has Mommy and Daddy exclusive attention, though they do try
to give him individual attention when they can.
It has been an adjustment for Greyson!


Yikes! They brought that baby home from the hospital!!!!



A secret toy drawer he found in his bathroom.


He loves his bus Mimi got him.



He still loves his Fisher Price barn...he uses his blocks to fill the silo.


He imitates your every move! Amber better enjoy the sight of him vaccuming. That won't happen once he gets older!



He still likes Mickey Mouse Club and some other children's shows.




Sitting in Abel's toy tub is fun!




Music is one of his favorite things!


Even though the birth of Abel threw his world into a tail-spin, he loves
his baby brother and is proud to get to 'hold' him.
He has gotten into trouble when he's gotten rough
with Abel...squeezing his arm or leg when he's frustrated,
swinging him extra high when he's sleeping in the swing, being loud
with his toys and waking Abel (he might get a pop on hiney
and put in time-out) - but he's learning
the right ways to behave around baby brother!

Welcome Baby Abel!

This is Abel Manning Keene before he decided to come out and visit!
He was born on September 4, 2012 at 4:04a.m.
He wasn't supposed to be born until later that day, but he decided he couldn't wait another minute!
The sonogram technician predicted he would be a 'whopper'...weighing 8 lbs or more.
He weighted 7 lbs. He is 19" long.
We've waited for what seems forever to meet this little fella.
Now he's here, and we can't stop kissing and loving on him!

This is Abel the day he was born! A little hat to keep his head warm. A little blanket to keep his body warm. Little socks on his hands to keep him from scratching his eyes and face!


"Yikes! Who is this crazy woman talking silly to me???!!!"
Mimi had to talk baby talk to him and get him used to her voice!

"Okay...she talks funny but she gives me lots of hugs and kisses. It's ok."

It didn't take long for Abel to discover big brother Greyson's secret to happiness...a pacifier!

First visit to the pediatrician...sorry Mom and Dad, I'm pooped! I'm taking a nap!


Right now I mostly want to sleep. Better let Mommy and Daddy and Greyson get used to me before I really start raising a ruckus!

Big brother Greyson is so proud of his baby brother! He has heard about Abel for half of his life, and now he can finally see him, touch him, hear him, hold him, smell him...well, you get the picture!

I could not be more happy or proud than I am when I see these two baby boys.
Looking forward to wonderful days ahead with them!
