Braham Fam: Grayson ~ 21 Months

~ 21 Months ~

Grayson is 21 months! He is so much fun. Craig and I always tell each other how lucky we are to have such an amazing little boy. We are so blessed to be his mommy and daddy. How can it only be 3 months until our little angel turns 2!?

~ New obsessions/favorite things ~

The Potty Seat...

We got him a Munchkin 3-in-1 potty seat. It also converts to a trainer seat that goes on the big potty and is also a step-stool. He loves the potty, but mostly to use as a step stool to turn the fan and light on in the bathroom. One night before bath time we had him sit on the potty seat and told him to go and he went potty! We were so excited and screaming with joy. He was so proud of himself too. My nanny suggested I buy him big boy underwear as an incentive. I bought him super hero and Elmo undies so hopefully he will get interested. I think it might take a while to potty train him because he is not ready yet. The next 5 nights he was not interested and has not been ever since. Hopefully he will get interested soon.

Climbing on things...

Our little boy loves to climb on things. He can now climb up the small rock wall at the park. I have no idea how he learned this, but he does it all by himself. He also likes to climb the steps on the side of the jungle gym. He still loves getting up on the chairs next to the island and gets up on the table. He can now also get down from the chairs.

His cousins...

We celebrated Bryan and Lauren's wedding in Bloomington/Normal. It was such a fun wedding and so nice seeing the family. Grayson especially loved hanging out with his cousins Tommy, Lilly and Aidan and visiting with family.

Babies...

His latest obsession is taking his babies from the crib when he wakes up in the morning and from his nap and bringing them downstairs. We have to take every single one of them (he has at least 15) and if I forget one he will make us go back and get it. He even has to include his pillow. I bought more babies to leave downstairs so we didn't have to bring them up and down every time, but that backfired and he just wanted to take the old and new ones. I decided to save the new ones for Liam.

Truck book...

He wants to read his truck book every single night. He is so smart and I can't get over how many types of trucks he knows already...cement mixer, backhoe, tractor, concrete crusher, van, pickup truck, monster truck, car carrier, tanker,

Taking toys to the park...

He loves taking his vacuum to the park. Yes, his vacuum. He has only done this once with me, but he takes it with his nanny all the time. He also likes to take his bubble lawn mower to the park.

New car race track...

We bought him a new, bigger and better car race track and he loves it. Our nanny's husband, Juan Carlos, helped Grayson set it up. It's taller than Grayson and he has so much fun launching the cars from the top and watching them race down the track. It was so nice of Juan Carlos to set it up. Grayson loves him and calls him Caros.

Umbrellas...

He loves umbrellas and cries when we take them away from him. He would not put down the animal print umbrella after dinner at Maggiano's so I had to take a picture. Now anytime he sees one he gets excited and wants to play with it.

Cars...

He is obsessed with playing in our car and throws a fit when it's time to get out. We just recently bought a new car and Grayson had fun helping us pick it out. :) Or I should say he had fun grabbing the pretty receptionist by the hand and pulling her over to look at the cars. He got her to open the back door and hang out with him inside. Craig and I were standing there cracking up. What a little stud.

Hanging out with the ladies at the park...

Grayson loves to go to the park and hang out with the kids, especially the pretty girls. He will walk over to a group of girls, wave, say hi and pick one out to play with him. He'll pull her hand and take her to the slide or swing to play. Recently, he played with a 10 year old girl named Julia and saw her again the next week. The girl's mom said her daughter's eyes lit up when she saw Grayson. She thinks he's so cute and such a sweetheart. Awwww.

Playing with Mama's makeup...

Grayson loves to play with my makeup. He took my concealer and had fun applying it to his face. It was so funny to watch him imitate me. I took several pictures and took a video as well. Priceless.

Daddy laying in his crib...

When I turned on the monitor I did a double take because Daddy was IN the crib with Grayson. I have to admit I have thought about doing this several times, but I can't believe Daddy actually did it. He only stayed in there for a minute, luckily, because I'm sure the bed has a weight limit.
