This should be the last month that I refer to Grady as a certain number of months old! He'll just be plain ol' 2 (until he is 2 and a half, that is). He just changes so fast these days! Since last month, he has learned his colors (only about 50% accuracy if you ask him what color something is, but 90% when he calls out a color on his own-- just in case you ask him and he is wrong you won't think I was fibbing on the blog!).
He has picked up a lot more words and phrases- I got a "bless you" today after I sneezed and Alex got a "What doing?" while he was in the shower. Unfortunately, one of his new phrases is "no mine." Even if he is just playing by himself, I will hear him say "no mine". His imaginary friend must've been trying to take his toys.
I love when he expresses his feelings by saying, "ooooh mama!" when something is cool, "that's funny," or a dramatic "eewwwwww!" when something is gross or dirty.
He is very particular about what song I sing. He will quickly say "no!" if I start singing the wrong song. His 3 favorites to sing are "Jesus" (Jesus Loves Me), "baaaa" (Mary Had a Little Lamb) or he does these sign language moves with his hands for the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Sometimes he will try to sing along.
What he has been doing this summer: Jogging with Daddy
Riding the bike to the pool.
Enjoying the back porch.

Grady especially loved the water. He was hoping to see fish.
Grady also liked to pretend to read the signs. I think Grady Sr. was actually reading them. :)
Did I mention it was, like, 100 degrees? Hence the sweaty boy below.
