Grayson's 2nd Birthday

On May 13th, my baby turned 2! It's hard to imagine he is already 2! He is an amazing little boy full of personality! He is still my laid back, mellow happy baby. He is on the go non stop doing anything and everything that brother is doing. He is now talking in full sentences and repeats everything! I call him and Brady "Pete and Repeat"! He did a year of The Little Gym and absolutely loved all the climbing, running, jumping, ball play, bubble play and of course the animal crackers at the end! He is now in swimming for the summer and is having a ball with that as well. Not a fan of floating on his back, but he'll get there. He is now into trains and cars and everything boy! He is all rough and tumble! The kid gets a new bruise on his face or leg or arm daily and sheds very few tears over them. He usually rubs the spot, says "Owww!", then keeps on going. At his 2 year well baby he weighed in at 28.8 lbs putting him in the 59th percentile and 34 in tall putting him in the 66th percentile. Pretty average/normal little guy. And as he quickly as he turned 2, he turned right into the "terrible" two's! He has his own opinion, wants to do everything HIS way and throws a great temper tantrum! As a result, it made my potty training in one day a little difficult. It was NOT as successful as it was with Brady. After a torturous weekend for us all, I decided to give it a break for a while and come back to it in a few months. Since I am now so pregnant and my one day method is a lot of work, I think we will just wait until after baby sister arrives to try it again. We'll see. But, potty trained or not, my Grayson is a joyous little boy! I can't imagine our life without him!

Make a wish!

I let Grayson lick the candle, and he took a bite right out of it! This boy LOVES his sweets!

Reading a Thomas the train book to Grayson and his birthday guests while they blew thier train whistles they got as party favors. All the moms were very pleased I sent those home with the kids! Haha!!!

We tried potty training the following weekend, so for his birthday, he got lots of cute little undies. He had to put them on only to pee in them 10 minutes later!
