Grayson rides his bike

Grayson has been extra busy these days since it getting warm enough to go outside. He has been riding his bicycle at Mimi and Poppa's. It got hooked up to the back of the golf cart one day - not sure if that was Grayson or Poppa's idea?!?! I posted a video of that adventure! But he does pretty good - he likes to ride it in front of Poppa's shop since there is a small hill and he can gather up some speed. He's spent a lot of time on his "big truck" as he calls it. We are ready for some warm weekends though. A few pics from Sesame Street Live - Grayson like it pretty well but he's not a fan of being up close to things dressed up so he was liking it as long as the character's stayed on stage. But we were on about the 3rd row so when they came off the stage they were pretty close and Grayson started backing up! Grayson has declared he is ready to go camping so I see that in our near future. Nothing big coming up but I'm sure we'll be just as busy as always!

YUMMM! We made brownies!

Doing what he loves most - workin' with Poppa's tools

He loves to play Super Hero - we call him Grayson the Great

Big Brother

Oh my goodness - I have neglected this blog. First of all let me just say that Grayson is so grown up. Besides the occasional fit throwing and the fact that I still make him drink from a sippy cup he is all grown up(or so it seems). He has such imagination and anyone who says that kids aren't watching your every move, doesn't have kids!!! He'll be playing with something and declare that "I am daddy" or "I am Poppa" and he will reinact something that has happened - maybe not even recently - some of it happened last summer!!! One of his favorites right now is to put me or Casey to bed and make us go night-night! He tells us that "you're a big boy, you go night-night by yourself." I suppose he's heard that a time or two. Still loves playing with his tools(although he prefers the real thing). He is very hands on. He has a toy airplane that you take apart with a drill and you have to change out drill bits - he can take it apart and put it together with no problems. I think he is kin to his Poppa. And he knows some stuff that is kinda scary too - he can put the car key in the ignition and start the car - YIKES! He can unlock a lock with a key - YIKES! And he can open all gates - YIKES! He is sooo ready for it to be warm enough to play outside. He is so bored with his toys inside he doesn't even hardly play with them anymore. We are going to Sesame Street Live tomorrow with our friends so I should have some pics to post.
I guess the biggest news that we have to share is that Grayson is going to be a big brother! I am almost 13 weeks along. We decided to wait to share the news in light of our past experience. We have had 2 ultrasounds and so far everything looks great. Due date is September 20th. Grayson asks about it some but we haven't really talked to him about it much. He had a lot of questions after last time and we just thought it best to not get him involved quite so early. So I will hopefully not get so far behind again. I'm sure I could write a ton of more stuff but I'll just do better next time!!!
