In 7 Days....

You will no longer be "almost 2".

It is somewhat unbelievable that on this day, two years ago, Michelle, Melissa, and I were walking around the Allen Outlet Mall trying desperately hard to stir things up so that you would make your big entrance a little sooner.

Isn't it ironic that all I want to do now is swaddle you up and put you back inside my belly?

Because there, you were safe, sweetie.

There, inside me.....no one could touch you or put you in danger. Like the big green slide that you made friends with today. I know he's big and fast and for 8 year olds and that equals fun, but he's also dangerous, Grayson.

To a baby.

But, you are not a baby anymore and you proved that over and over today.

I am in total awe of you. You used to be this teeny-tiny, squirmy-angelic being that needed me for E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G......and now you just need me in your eyesight in case of bullies or boo boos.


Here are some of my favorite shots of you from today and some from this time last year:

At eleven months old, you could barely walk through the water without tipping over.

You didn't think twice about this big green monster

You were far more intrested in Cheerios and following her around.

Today at 23 months and 3 1/2 weeks....you were "SO" big.

"I think I'm a big-boy, therefore I should do big-boy things"

"But what could I possibly do to prove that I am a big-boy?"

"I know! I'll go down the most gigantic big-boy slide known to man!"

"Ta Daaaa!"

"That was SO fun...I've gotta go again!"
