Grayson & Liam ~ February Photos

These boys are going to be the best of friends...one day it's going to happen.  I'm amazed at how much has changed in the last month between them.  Liam has always been obsessed with Grayson, but Grayson gets slightly jealous.  Grayson has really turned a corner with Liam and has become such a great big brother.  For example, when Liam takes Grayson's toys away from him, Grayson doesn't lash out physically like he used to, but simply complains.  It's cute.  He tries to help me when Liam is doing something bad.  Grayson gives Liam lots of hugs and kisses and says sorry when he does something bad to him.  (much less frequent now) I think Grayson has finally realized that Liam is his little buddy and has finally embraced that.  They are really cute together and it makes me so incredibly happy.  Liam loves to take toys that Grayson is playing with and sprints off with this grin on his face.  I think he is trying to get Grayson back for all of the bullying.  I love to see them playing together.  

My BFFs kids Cora, Elin and Gabe spent the weekend with us and the boys had the best time.  I'm so happy they can grow up with my BFF's kids.

Liam - 18 months

Our sweet little Liam is 18 months old...how is he 1 1/2 years old!

Personality ~

He has such a sweet, loving personality.  He is a little cuddler and a little needy.  He loves to be held.  He's also very dramatic and shows us when he is upset by throwing himself on the floor.  He is ornery and loves to pester Grayson by taking a toy he is playing with and running away.  He must be getting Grayson back for all of the pestering he did to Liam.  

Things he loves ~

He loves to dance, talk to Alexa, go in the pantry and pull out all of the food, jump (he does falling dives onto the ottoman), jump on Grayson and knock down all of Grayson's stuff, climbs (he loves to climb from his chair in his room up to windowsill and onto of his dresser as well as climbing up the drawers in the kitchen), loves shoes, loves being outside (cries by the back door because he wants to go outside), loves chocolate chips and will go into the pantry and get them out (does this with a lot of food), loves to cuddle, has really taken on to Daddy and loves when he throws him up in the air and does flips with him, loves to jump over the end of Grayson's bed on top of Daddy, loves to eat from Daddy's lap, loves to eat using his fork and spoon (he might be better than Grayson), refuses to sit in his highchair unless it's for chocolate chips or a popsicle, he is obsessed with his toothbrush, but doesn't quite know how to use it.

He loves to sit on the little potty while Grayson goes on the big potty.
