Well it's come and gone and now we have a walking talking Toddler....Someone please save us!! Enough with my pathetic whining...we could have had twins or triplets right??
That is right Grayson is now officially ONE year old. We had a little party with his buddies Ben and Enzo and his cousins Devon and Kyle over for some cupcakes with lots of playing and smiles! The babies were walking, the cake was flying, and a good time was had by all.
The following Monday Grayson had the dreaded one year checkup at Dr. Heffernan's office, with the mandatory round of Make your baby scream's...otherwise known as "SHOTS"!! Luckily Grayson had a little throat infection that was going around, so he managed to skip out on the shots THAT visit....he goes back in 2 weeks!! (Oh well buddy you gave it your best!!) His stats for the checkup were as follows; He weighed 23lbs 2.5 oz and was 32 and 3/4 of an inch tall. So he is now Officially OFF the growth chart for height and middle of the road for weight. His head is still way SMALL!! He grew 3 inches since his last checkup at 9 months when he was 29 and 3/4 inches...how long can that go on???
Oh did I mention that the Friday before his 1st birthday Grayson decided that he would no longer be bound in mobility to crawling and being slow...So he let go of all attachments for support and is now WALKING 100% of the time! Consider that your fair warning that when we come to visit, if you don't have the house 100% baby proof Grayson will point out every weak link in your defense!
Grayson wanted to wish all the Family.....(Mamaw Osborne, Uncle Ian, Aunt Steph, Cousin Zoe, Aunt Toni...and anyone else I might forget!!) A Happy Birthday!! That is why Melanie wanted NOT to have a May baby....he had a slim to none chance of having his own birthday since all the family seems to have birthdays in May!! HHAHAH
Grayson did have another fist this month..Swimming Lessons i.e. Dunking lessons!! I don't know how much he is going to learn to swim in this class. I think that they just teach him how to go under water without drinking the pool! (pictures and video's included below!)
Not much else going on this month except the remodeling of our kitchen with new cabinets and countertops, its going to look very nice since Mel picked everything out! For me LOTS and LOTS of training!! Ironman Canada is just 107 days 20 hours 57 minutes and 8 seconds away from the time I'm writing this!! Wish me luck I'll need it! Mel is back in the swing of things with Softball. Her team Won the first tournament they entered this year, Those ladies ROCK!!! We will be visiting Las Vegas in September for the softball World Championships! So her team can Defend there Championship from last year!! GO BELLS!!
Well that is if for this round...if you made it this far in my babblings, misspelled words, and incorrect grammar....you get the GOLD star for the day! Until next time! We love and miss you all.
Brad, Mel, and Grayson Dean!
