OMG Where has this year gone? I can't believe I am writing this to you 3 days before you (Grady) are turning 3!!! Nin you are not too far behind (3 more weeks until you are 1). It has been a crazy year ... I have learned so much about both of your personalities! WOW....Grady you are so much like your Daddy with your laid back no worries attitude ... and Nin - well let's just say you were blessed(cursed?) with my personality! TBD whether that is a good thing or not:-)
This time last year all I was worried about was getting through Grady's birthday party without going into labor. We made it. You are both so fun to watch together already. Grady is constantly trying to tackle Callen and there is rarely a day when Nin doesn't have a red mark (or 5) on him from Grady's rough housing. I walked into your room the other morning and found Grady had opened the crib tent, climbed in with Nin and then was frantically trying to zip it back up before I caught him. Hilarious!
Callen you have 4 teeth (2 top and 2 bottom). You constantly zerbert (pbbttttt) with your tongue at anything and everything. Including when you are eating your purees. All.Over.Everything. Every.Single.Time.
Grady - you are obsessed with "White Doggie" and "Red Doggie". But recently proclaimed after you trapped Mattie in your room that she was your "best good dog". You told her out of the blue one day recently that you "love her":-) So sweet. Whenever you see daddy after he gets home from doing lawns or coming home from work you say "Hi Daddy-O". We sing you Take me Out To The Ballgame or You Are My Sunshine before you go to bed and at the end of it you always say to me "Mommy I won't take your Sunshine" ... Could you get any sweeter??
Callen - you are a momma's boy. Maybe you will grow out of this and maybe I will look back on this and remember it fondly too....but for right now you are a pain in mommy's tush! :-) You have the LOUDEST cry/cackle when you don't get your way..and most of the time you just want mommy to sing to you while you rest your head on her shoulder before I lay you down in the crib for the night. Also, you don't miss a meal...or anyone else's meal! haha You are constantly on the move and I am actually shocked that you haven't started walking yet. Any day now - I am sure.
Grady you are still loving being outside on the trampoline and also mowing the lawn with daddy. You just found a frog when you were mowing last week and proceeded to stick your smelly hands into my nose to show me how you had held him.
Callen you follow Grady anywhere he will let you and you let him do things to you that I would expect you to scream out of pain - but you just laugh and let him do it again. He is really one of the only people that can stop you from crying on a dime once you get going unnecessarily!
I never knew just how much it was possible to love two people unconditionally. You two have shown me how to look in the mirror everyday and re-evaluate my self worth simply because I had the ability to create (with your daddy) such perfection in both of you.
I love you more than being able to stay home all summer with you and your daddy!!
Mommy
