What We've Been Up To

We've had a lot going on lately, but no time to blog about it. Michael has been busy doing some kind of overhaul on his car while simultaneously ripping out our countertops in the kitchen and two bathrooms. Meanwhile, my dad was in town over the weekend and helped me entertain Grayson throughout the mess. Unfortunately, it was rainy all weekend so he couldn't even go outside and run around or swing.

Our new countertops are set to be installed on Wednesday and I can hardly wait. I've been documenting the demo process (think Mike with a sledgehammer, two types of saws and crowbar) and will post before and after pics once we are at the "after" stage.

In Grayson news, he's still infatuated with books and words in general. I've started quizzing him randomly to see what he knows and was surprised yet again tonight. He recognizes a few shapes (square, heart and star), plus all his facial features and belly, foot, arm and hand. He's staring to learn animals (beyond his favorites "good girl" aka dog and duck), while also taking great joy in pointing out every truck during our commute.

Birds are another great source of entertainment these days and luckily we have a lot of them flying around our backyard. It's amazing to see how quickly his mind processes and retains new information right now.
