Grayson - Our Little Artist

Grayson loves to paint and color.  The first picture is a painting he made for us at home (1/31/17) with his nanny Marta.  The next two pictures show his drawing he made of the letter E.  He learned this at school and made the picture all on his own.  I was so surprised and impressed and didn't even know he could make the letter E (1/25/17).  He has been learning a lot at school.  It was cute how proud he was and even cuter how he posed for me.   

Grayson is Potty Trained!

After the ski trip incident we decided it was time to get Grayson 100% potty trained.  We started the process (officially on 1/23/17).  He loves to hang out naked and would put on a diaper when he had to go potty or poop.  We knew he was ready because he did not like to sit in the soiled diaper and knew when he had to go to the bathroom.  We bought lots of cool underwear (superheroes: Batman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thomas the Train and trucks).  We also gave him toys when he went to the bathroom.  The first week went really well and he didn't have any accidents.  The second week he was really upset about something and took off his clothes and peed on the floor while he was throwing a fit.  After that he didn't have any accidents and did a great job keeping his clothes and undies on during the day.  Liam loves to do everything Grayson does so it's cute to watch him pretend to go to the bathroom on Grayson's little potty while Grayson goes on the big potty.  Grayson - we can't believe what a big boy are have become with a blink of an eye.  We are SO proud of our BIG BOY!  

Daddy & Grayson - Colorado Trip

Daddy, Grayson, Ethan and Daddy's friend Will went to Colorado (Vail) skiing and had a great time.  When Craig was dropping off Grayson at ski school they noticed a diaper in his bag and questioned whether Grayson was potty trained (not 100%) so they would not let him in the ski school.  Grayson stayed at the day care and spent a little time learning how to ski while the Daddy, Will and Ethan went skiing.  The next couple of days Daddy took Grayson sledding and one day Ethan and Will came as well.  Unfortunately Daddy did not get any pictures of Ethan, but I was told he had fun as well.  We have a trip planned for March and can't wait for Grayson to learn to ski.   

Mommy, Liam & Oma - Florida Trip

Mommy, Liam and Oma went to visit Oma's sister Carolyn in Florida while Daddy and Grayson went skiing in Colorado.  It was great to get out of the cold midwest weather and spend a long weekend in the sun.  Liam loved Carolyn's dog Zoey and had so much fun chasing her around.  Luckily she's a very sweet dog and had fun with Liam as well.  We had fun taking walks, going shopping, playing at the park nearby, having nice dinners outside and hanging out.  

Liam - 17 Months

Liam is 17 months old!

This month flew by especially since we went to Florida to visit Oma's sister Carolyn while Daddy and Grayson went to Colorado to go skiing.  Not much new happened this month so I will save everything for the 18 month post.  Here are some pictures of my sweet little Liam from the last month...
