Grey is TWO!

Grey, our little handsome daredevil. We love you to pieces! You are the sweetest little boy. You greet your Mom and Dad by saying, "Hi Momma or hi Daddy!" And then you run to give us a hug. You also greet Ariel the same way. You call Ariel and Rylie by name, but for some reason you don't say Cailin.

Your favorite breakfast is bananas (nanas). But then you can eat as many as three bananas daily. So, you don't really just eat them for breakfast. You also like oatmeal. You will eat pancakes, but it must be when you're really hungry, because they usually get thrown on the on the floor. You like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries ( you call them all bar-rees).

For lunch, you like to eat sandwiches (PBJ), tacos, and chicken. You like meat and will stuff your mouth until food no longer fits.

Dinner is normally whatever we are having. You aren't usually a really picky eater.

You like juice. Do I really need to say that? What baby doesn't like juice?! Mostly you get orange juice and fruit punch. You will try most food. As long as it's on someone else's plate beside your own. You really like playing with food.

You think you are much too busy to take naps. You prefer the play until I drop method. Naps for you,  usually happen in the car. Or when someone makes you lay down. You sleep about three hours, though. When we can finally get you laid down. You usually sleep in our bed. And it seems the minute that I get up- even if it's the middle of the night- you will get up too.

You say so many words, I can't keep up anymore. Everyday it seems there's something else new you're saying. Of course, you say "Ma-ma" "Da-dee" and "Air-yo" Ariel. You say "up" to be picked up. You say "wa-wa" for a drink of water. And "joos" juice, "off" to take your shoes off, "yight" light, "Mum-bo" Mumsil, "I red-dee" when you're mimicking me as I say "I'm ready"

When, I come home in the morning from work, you greet me at the door and immediately ask for my "p-on" phone. Man, oh man, you it's scary how proficient you are at navigating around my phone. You love the phone. You can take photos, you can play games and watch movies. You can literally be on the phone scrolling around until the battery dies.

You second favorite activity seems to be tinkering with the washing machine and dryer. I have to set the childproof lock, to keep my clothes washing and drying on the settings that *I* choose.

Earlier, this year when it was still a bit cold outside. We noticed that the hot water wasn't getting hot. In fact, it was cold. We went the whole weekend with the plan to call someone to come a replace or fix the water heater. As I'm on the phone with the company, I notice YOU up on a stool pressing buttons on the water heater. You little bugger, had turned on the vacation setting on the heater. The water heater was "broken" by you.

I have also caught you adjusting the thermostat too.

I'm just going to say it right now, that I'm betting you have a future in Computer Information Systems or Engineering.

Man, oh man, are you a little daredevil. You like to run and jump. You like to be chased. You taunt us by saying "Na-na-na-na!" That makes you laugh and take off running. 

You like to watch "Elmo," "Barney," and "Teletubbies." I hear you randomly singing the song "Tinky Winky, La-La, Poe; Teletubbies; Teletubbies; Big hug!" That is so unbelievable cute and amazing.

You count "1, 2!"

You like to jump on the ground as well as off things. And you're a climber!

Here, you're supposed to be sitting near me so I can take your photo. You much preferred running away. We love you sweet, sweet baby boy!
