Seemingly overnight, Grayson has gone from taking a two or three brave steps to nearly running. He is testing his mobility and free will to the max. From discovering the cabinet that houses our pots and pans to deciding he wants to play in his room instead of ours in the morning, Gray is now able get where he wants to go.
Today at school he even got to go outside for recess with the toddler room. He hasn't moved up to the next class yet because there isn't an opening, but they let him play outside with the "big kids" and he spent part of the afternoon in their room as well.
I will admit, it's a pretty rough crowd in the toddler room. Lots of biters and pushers, some of which are nearly two years-old and quite a bit bigger. I guess it will toughen him up once he's in there full-time.
He'll have to kick the pacifier addiction if he wants to fit in with the toddler room. It's one of the only baby habits he has left and it's going to be a hard one to break. As you'll see from one of the videos Michael took tonight, he had a paci in his mouth and then found one while playing and decided he needed to carry it around, swapping them in and out occasionally for good measure. He just can't get enough.
Here are a few new videos so you can see his walking skills. In the first one he's walking to daddy and the second he's chasing Roxy around. She is not a fan of this walking stage by the way. I've caught her a couple of times up on her hind legs trying to push him over. Such a bully big sister.

I can't believe how big he is in his jersey and especially the shoes. Looks like he's got his Daddy's expensive shoe fettish!!! Or is it his Mama's? Maybe it's also from his Pappa! I also can't believe how fast and steady he is. You better rest when he does!
