Dear Greyson,
I cannot believe it. Next month you will be two. It feels like your first birthday just happened! It really is amazing how fast time is flying. You are growing up so fast and it is so much fun!
We had a really busy last few weeks of May. We went to Cincinnati and now we're in Illinois visiting Grandma and Boppa. While we were in Cincinnati you of course loved on your Uncle Dave. Papa Santel set up his choo-choo for you and you LOVED it! You sat with Uncle Dave and Andy in the middle of the track and watched it. Every so often we'd hear "choo-choooo!" We went to the park also. You loved the swings and the slide!
While we went to Aunt Jessica's wedding you spent the night with Jess and her family. Emma loved on you the whole time. Mama was really nervous about leaving you, but you did awesome! When we picked you up, Jess told us that she never wants to hear the phrase, "What's that?" for a long time. Compliments of you!
The day before we left for Rockford we went out to dinner with Grandpa. We went to Easystreet and it was so yummy! You were giving Grandpa high-fives over and to be funny, you licked your hand and then gave Grandpa five. You got big laughs for that one, which is exactly what you were going for!
Obsessions as of right now are still Choo-choo's (Thomas the Train) and Toy Story. You love Woody and Woody's hat. You love counting! You can almost count to five, sometimes you need a little help and other times you don't. You will randomly just start saying numbers though, which is so funny. Most of the time it's "9 2 5" or 99 2 5" or some variation. You also know the shape, star. We've been working on shapes a lot. At dinner tonight you were saying the word circle as I was drawing them. Mama downloaded a game on Dada's phone for you that you love! It shows either colors, shapes, numbers or letters and you have to choose the one that it says. You love pushing the buttons "bought-ens" as you say.
You are getting more and more brave in the pool. Unfortunately, because of that we have had a few spills! You slipped getting out of the pool and hit the side of your face once and the second time you were chasing a ball and slipped. Mama caught you the second time luckily! Thank goodness Grandma and Boppa bought you a swimming suit with a life vest in it though. You are a fearless little boy!
We are having a great time in Rockford. You have your Grandma and Boppa right where you want them! Boppa taught you "Cheers" and then clink glasses. He is pretty proud of himself for that!
Pool pictures to come...
I love you buddy, forever and longer!
Love, Mama
