Catching up!

I'm a little behind, but we've been traveling, had visiting aunts and uncles, and this toddler has been keeping us plenty busy in the down-time.

Grayson is jabbering away, and we're starting to get some good communication from him. He's good at getting his point across, for better or worse, using the few words that he does have, and he certainly understands a lot, too. Naming animals and making animal noises are a big part of each day, and he's mastered the sounds of most of the zoo - fauna both real and fictional/extinct, roaring especially!


Grayson is proving to be a very playful, happy toddler! He loves to play outside, go to the park, and play ball with Rosie. Those two are pretty cute together. She's happy to have a playmate that shares her energy, and he is very excited to play fetch and tag with her - at least until she gets too jumpy. He thinks she's showing off because he's still learning how to jump.




Noteworthy events:
We took Grayson for his first meeting of the mouse on a Mother's Day trip to Disneyland! Brant and I had a great time just watching his face light-up (or get concerned) on rides, when he saw characters, and mostly smiling at other people. He's a very social guy, after all.



In May, Grayson's Uncle Jordan graduated from college, and we traveled to St. Louis to attend his graduation. Gray continues to prove that he is a wonderful flyer! While there, we also visited the St. Louis Zoo - another great day for our animal lover!

For Memorial Day weekend, Aunt Alexandra and Uncle Micah came to visit. We had fun seeing them and spending some time at the Huntington Library Botanical Gardens! Outdoor fun was definitely had with so many gardens to run around in and enjoy.
