Grayson: 18 months

In the wake of our personal computer meltdown, my blog presence has been minimal. Brought to you by the miracle of the iPod Touch and its anxiety provoking, itty bitty keyboard, here is a cliff notes celebration of this handsome 1 1/2 year old.

At 18 months, Grayson is:

•Saying baby, book, peekaboo, thank you, one more. He is talking a LOT more in mostly ba's bee's bo's and dee's and is increasingly frustrated by my misunderstanding.

•Wanting to wear everyone else's shoes all the time and can usually be heard clip-clopping around with one princess high heal on.

•Still transitioning from two naps down to one. Depends on the day.

•Still on a limited but extremely healthy diet, supplemented with Elecare Jr. medical formula. He just had a nutritionist appointment and they are very happy with his diet and growth.

•Weighing in at 23 lbs and some ounces--of course I didn't write it down.

•Thinks he is a big dude and loves brushing his teeth, using silverware and plates and has asked to go to the potty a few times.

He has his second EGD (G.I. scope) on Monday so hopefully that will let us know if we have effectively eliminated all of his allergies and how well his esophagus is healing. He is getting over a nasty case of thrush from his steroid inhaler but otherwise seems to be thriving and I'm anticipating good results.

I've said it before and it is only more true with each passing month: this boy is SWEET. Cuddly, happy, easy going and so good natured. He loves to look at books, press buttons, explore outside, be chased and thrown and tackled and sung to. He is irresistible and we love him more every day!
