Swimming

We had a great time at the Machovina party today.

Gwen took to the water like a champ. She really tired daddy out. It was good to have Austin there to help.

Birthday dinner at El Vaq. Hey Grady, there is something on your nose.

Gwen

Gwen is a girl, plain and simple. She prefers to be involved in everything the adults are doing. If Gwen asks for her milk and I only hand her one cup, she is immediately asking for Grady's. She was born a caretaker. Gwen will not even go upstairs for bedtime without Grady. Grady is her best friend and she does not want to go far without him. She loves to go down her slide and have someone catch her. Gwen has recently decided that she should catch Grady at the bottom of the slide. Gwen loves to play with her baby doll. She is a little rough, but I think she will be a great mother someday. Gwen is learning new words all the time. Her favorite is outside. I think she will really enjoy camping next week since we will be outside. Her second favorite word is shoes. She does not like being without her shoes for long. Makes sense because once she has her shoes on she can then repeatedly ask to go outside. Gwen loves to swing. She could swing for an hour if I let her. Unfortunately she is the clumsy one. It seems like the girl gets a new boo boo every day. She will say yest to everything, that may get her in trouble someday! I am very lucky to end every night with a big wet kiss from Gwen and a night night. Happy second birthday Gwen!

Grady

This picture is everything Grady is. He is very excited about everything in life and enjoys every minute.

Grady is such a joy to be around. He enjoys everything around him. Grady currently goes through a list of names multiple times a day....Papa, Dada, Mama, CC. After repeating this he looks to me for some answers. We go through the list again

Grady: Papa

Me: He is at home

Grady: Dada

Me: He is at work

Grady: Mama

Me: I am right here

Grady: CC

Me: She is at home

Grady goes through this about a dozen times a day minimum. Someday he will have so many people added to the list it will take all day to get through. Grady loves to play with all of his toys, he especially enjoys lining them up. Grady sleeps very well and currently prefers a crib full of stuffed animals. It is not always easy to convince Grady to go inside or outside as he is always busy doing something. He loves helping with yard work. Grady still loves his fruits and veggies. He is quite the dare devil at the playground, I sometimes have problems keeping up with him. Grady will find the highest slide and climb up to go down it all by himself. He must get that from his daddy, because I still do not like to climb to the top. Grady loves his sister and typically will share anything with her. I am lucky to end every day with a big hug and him saying night night. Happy second birthday Grady!

Second year birthday shoot

I need 3 pictures once a year at a minimum, that is IT, I am not asking much, am I? I am not going to point fingers, but SOMEONE was not cooperating. Oh well, I will try again another day.

On the night before our second birthday party...

Mom (aka Mama or MommEE) was busy getting the house ready. The decorations are up and we cannot wait to celebrate with our family. Thankfully the weather is going to be better than last years 95 degree day. We sure have changed over the last year.
