Look Who Is Two!

I can't believe how fast time flies. Grayson turned 2 on the 20th of May. My little baby is growing up!

"Shake Shake"

So to start- He had his well baby child visit on May 21st. He is 22 lbs even and 30 7/8" long. Perfectly proportioned and a tiny little bottle of energy! He is meeting or exceeding all of his milestones.

This age is challenging- Grayson is the king of tantrums- but so much fun at the same time. He is learning so much stuff. He can count to 10 with a little assistance. Unassisted it goes something like "one, two, five seven, eight, nine, ten". He can tell you his name- and is getting the pronounciation down pretty good. He can answer how old he is and his favorite color. If you ask who his best friend is he will say "Grayson" even though Mike has been trying to get him to say "Daddy"

He is very imaginative and loves to play with things in all different ways. He also loves figuring stuff out. He, unfortunately, has figured out how to unbuckle the harness chest clip on his carseat, can undo infant seats, knows how to tell if a wii remote is on/working (that tiny little blue light), and so much more. He loves figuring things out. Reminds me a lot of his uncle Eric.

He also is quite the ham- like Daddy. He gets comedic timing pretty good for a 2 year old and loves to make people laugh. He loves doing things like wearing our shoes and if you ask his name while he is doing so he will tell you he is the person who's shoes he is wearing.

Grayson knows too many words for me to count and is getting really good at using 2-3 word phrases. He still babbles tons, but like I have said before, he talks a lot more than a lot of kids, so it is expected. He still uses quite a bit of sign language which is nice.

Some funny stories:
Grayson likes to pray. A lot. So when we say the blessing before eating, he will look around, and if somebody is folding their arms "good enough" for him, he will call them out. Quite often "Coo Coo" (Cuckoo- or Mike's mom- another cute story I will tell in a different post) is the culprit. He also likes to yell "amen" at the end of the prayer.

I must get annoyed with Mike a lot in front of Grayson, and use his name when annoyed. Now, if Mike is doing something Grayson doesn't like, and doesn't stop when he says "Daddy" you here "Mike STOP!" or my favorite was one day he said "Mike stop noyying me"

We had a small party for Grayson the night before his birthday. He got some pig food (coins for his piggy bank) and some great educational toys (thank you!!! I was happy not to see more of the same old toys)

I made a cake and decorated it a little. I definitely need more practice.

One of his favorite gifts were some Melissa and Doug puzzles from his Almost-Auntie Brena

And of course, he loved cake!

And after chowing down for a few minutes, he decided we needed to say a prayer- even though we had prayed before dinner (at the party).

I think he enjoyed the cake.

I can't believe my little guy is two already! Time is flying by so fast.
