Grayson is 23 months and such a sweet, independent little guy. We will be celebrating his two year birthday early this year (Aug 9th) since Liam's due date is so close to his actual birthday. I can't believe my baby is turning 2. This has been the best two years. We love you, Grayson!

Notes on pictures below ~
He loves playing in the water. We went with our neighbors (The Cartwrights) to the community pool in Glenview because it's so close and so nice. He loves going there and splashes in the fountains and goes down the slides.
We celebrated Gabe's 2nd birthday with lunch at Toots in Glen Ellyn. It's the cutest place with real choo choo trains that move around the whole restaurant. Grayson kept trying to touch the trains as they went by our table. He rode a horse with Cora and gave Noa a big smooch. He loves hanging the Ohlanders (and Noa Kate Eager). We later celebrated his actual birthday at his party at their house. It was a truck theme and he loved it.
Grayson pooped on the toilet! What a milestone! He told me he was going to, but I didn't think he was really going to do it. I was screaming with excitement and he was so proud. Of course I ran and got my phone to take a picture. He will get a small toy every time he poops on the toilet. We hope he will be potty trained very soon, but guessing it will take a while.
My sister-in-law Sue and nephew Tommy came to visit us in Chicago for a long weekend. We went to Navy Pier and had so much fun. Grayson noticed the ferris wheel on our drive there and was so excited as we read about it in several of his books. His jaw dropped when he actually saw it in person. Tommy rode some rides and played mini golf (Grayson thought he was playing too). I took Grayson on the carousel and he liked it, but wasn't too sure about it. We had a fun weekend with them and wished we lived closer. Grayson adores Tommy.
We signed him up for Pre-Pre-School Class at Bubbles Academy. Unfortunately, the class was cancelled due to low enrollment, but we went to the first class and had fun. Marta and her niece Angie came as well and helped with Grayson because I'm so pregnant I can't move very well. He liked painting and catching pretend fish in the tank.
Grayson finally met his nanny Marta's daughter Viviana. He talks to her on the phone and calls her Vivi and was very happy to meet her. She's very pretty so Grayson was in love.
Grayson met two of my friends from back home (Stephanie and Andrea) and put on a show for them. He loved meeting them at the park. Such a flirt.
We had a playdate with Henry and they had a blast.
The last picture is of a big boo boo on his forehead. He ran into JuJu's dresser because he was running around like a crazy boy.
