Toddler Bed!
I finally gave in and converted Grayson's crib to a toddler bed. I've been hesitant to do it, because he's always been content in his crib, and it's so convenient to be able to corral him at night! :D But we decided it was time when Grayson surprised Steve by walking into the family room when he was supposed to be napping -- he had climbed out of his crib without making a sound! It's the first time he's done it, but he did it very well!! So that night I put the toddler rail on. Grayson was SO excited, and immediately climbed right up into bed and started jumping and rolling around. He kept saying "Bed! Bed! Bed!" -- he knows it's a big boy bed now instead of a crib! Luckily we have a baby gate installed in his doorway, so I was able to shut the gate to keep him contained to his room, but of course he took the opportunity to play with everything in his room and make a huge mess :) It takes him a bit longer to go to sleep now, but he's happy with his new-found freedom, and I'm not worried about him falling out of his crib. Although I AM a bit worried about him climbing other things -- I've discovered toys on the floor that were up high on shelves the night before -- so he's been climbing his bookcase and his changing table. I'm always in the next room, and both our doors are open, so I've never heard him fall or bang around a lot, so he's obviously very good at it -- it just worries me a bit. I've stopped putting the toys up on the shelves, hoping this will negate the need to climb. Also, to my surprise, Grayson has always ended up back in his bed to sleep -- he doesn't just pass out on the floor, he'll climb into bed when he's tired.

Two BOYS!
Baby #2 is officially a BOY! I'm going to have TWO little boys! :) We're so excited!!! I'm still getting used to the idea -- since the beginning of this pregnancy, we were so sure it was a girl! Sure fooled us!! It will be so fun for Grayson to have a little buddy -- I think all boys need brothers!
All went well at the ultrasound -- everything looks good, he looks healthy! It was so fun to see the little guy wiggling and kicking and turning -- he was so active it was hard for the ultrasound tech to get good pictures sometimes! Here are some pictures:
Profile: (totally has Steve's nose and chin!!!)
Proof of the boy-ness:
LONG leg with a BIG foot!! Again, just like his daddy! :)
And here is an updated iPad shot -- this is actually how big Baby is right now!
The best part of having another boy is that I won't have to buy a SINGLE piece of clothing for this new little guy! Wahoo!! He's due a month before Gray's birthday, so all the clothes I had for Gray will be the right season. I can spend my money on other things :) I already bought a crib (AWESOME deal from Target -- buy a crib, get the matching changing table for FREE! -- couldn't pass it up), and now I'm working on cleaning out the 2nd bedroom so we have somewhere to PUT the crib. Steve says maybe we got a boy this time around because God knew we couldn't afford a girl right now -- I'm going to go a little crazy with the cute baby girl clothes when the time comes :)
The worst part of having another boy is that now I have to come up with another boy name!! We had a girl name picked out and ready to go, but boy names are so much harder!!! Our top three contenders right now are Abrahm, Merrick, and Asher. Other suggestions are welcome :) Vote on your favorite name over on my poll!!

2 1/2!
Grayson is now 2 1/2! And what a fun little man he is! I am LOVING this stage -- he is so incredibly cute and fun! Granted, the screaming, constant "NO!"s, tantrum-throwing, and general stubbornness isn't that fun. But everything ELSE is :) Here's a little about what Gray's up to lately: (warning: this is a long post of things I just wanna document. Feel free to not read the whole thing in it's entirety)
* Gray is talking up a storm, but isn't quite forming his own sentences yet. He can repeat usual phrases ("I love you", "Thank you", "To Infinity and Beyond" -- you know, the essentials), but usually 'makes up' his own sentences by using "blebababaglubablue" as a filler.
* His "I love you" sounds like "I judge you". Hilarious.
* He is now saying "Grayson", and I love, love, LOVE how he says it! Beyond cute! Sometimes he still refers to himself as "baby", though.
* Gray still loves his Ele, but he now calls all other elephants "Ephants" -- he used to call all elephants ele. Now it's only his special one. As an aside, wanna see how many elephants Gray has?? It's a lot:
* Gray has a stellar memory. He can point to a drawer and ask for a toy that's in there that hasn't been played with for a year. He can also repeat every word to Cars, Toy Story (1&2), The Princess and the Frog (say "I think it's done, Da-addy" to him sometime, and behold the awesomeness. Just saying.), "Over the Hedge", "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" and "Land Before Time".
* He often goes off into dramatic monologues, acting out scenes from these movies, and making up his own. He is BEYOND entertaining.
* Gray's current favorite thing in the world is Thomas the Train. He knows all the different trains, and LOVES to play with his toy trains.
* Grayson is a very picky eater. He'll eat like a bird for 3-4 days, then eat more than I do for a day or two. He loves pizza, chicken nuggets, fries, popcorn, crackers, pretzels, ice cream, juice, chocolate muffins, cheetos, chocolate milk (instant breakfast -- it's the only way he gets nutrients some days), peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and anything chocolate/candy related. SOME days he can be persuaded to eat cereal, apples, peaches, spaghetti, mac & cheese, yogurt, and string cheese.
(this is his Cheeto-Monster picture. Also, lately he's been asking me to take off his shirt. Except he says "Pants off" when he asks. Silly kid)
* He is starting to get sneaky. I'll tell him not to do something, and he'll do it when I'm not paying attention. His favorite is sneaking out the dog door into the back yard. He's not supposed to do it, but he just can't resist, now that he's figured it out. And it's so darn funny to watch him do it, it's hard to get too mad at him (plus, the back yard is fenced, so he can't really get into too much trouble out there...) He also will flat-out fib to me -- "Gray, did you poop?" "NO!"(as he runs as fast as he can the other way)
* Gray loves anything with wheels, and thinks any toy car/truck/train/etc he sees is automatically his. He isn't too good with the whole sharing thing, but he IS very good at telling OTHER kids to share. And he does get there eventually, if not begrudgingly.
* He LOVES making adults go where he wants them. He constantly orders me around the house ("Go DAT way!"), and makes me sit ("Sait, Mommy") where he wants. When we go to my mom's house, he has to position every person EXACTLY where he wants them to sit, and heaven help you if you try to get up before he says you can. He even tells HIMSELF where to sit ("Sait, Baby!"). Then he goes around the room and points to everyone, naming them off as he goes.
* Grayson LOVES Ollie. They are little buddies. Thank goodness I have such a tolerant dog! Gray chases him everywhere, orders him where to sit ("Sait, Ah-yee!"), sits on him, drives his cars on him, and generally just laughs his head off at anything Ollie does. Even when I call Ollie by his full name (Oliver), he laughs SO hard. Ollie is very good-natured about it all and just takes it. If he gets too annoyed, he'll just leave the room. He's never EVER even growled at Gray. And he's always the first one into Gray's room in the morning. I love that they're such good buddies.
* Gray thinks almost everything is a computer. If it has buttons, or anything he can PRETEND is buttons, he says "Puter!Poot!" (I think that's trying to be "Computer! Boot!"), and furiously 'types' on whatever it is. We got him a LeapFrog laptop for Christmas -- I can't wait to see him with his very OWN computer! :)
* Gray loves water. If there's a puddle anywhere NEAR this kid, he'll find it. But he doesn't like swimming pools, and he didn't like the splash pad. His favorite thing is for his Nana to squirt him with the hose. And the water play table at her house.
* He still loves books, but doesn't like you to read to him. He'll snatch the book out of your hand and take it to the floor to read it himself. I really miss having him snuggle on my lap while I read him books.
* Grayson unfortunately inherited his daddy's migraines. It's the saddest thing ever to watch him when he has one. He just says "Head hurt" over and over, sometimes throws up, and just wants me to hold him. It's the only time he'll let me really snuggle him. We just lie on the couch together and watch movies or sing soft songs. Poor little guy. Tylenol DOES seem to help so far, though, so I hope they never get as bad as Steve's.
* Gray loves the song "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam" and will sometimes make me sing it 20 times a day. We always have to sing it for FHE. He knows all the words. So cute.
* Gray hates anything unexpected/unfamiliar, but he's fine as long as you give him warning, or let him get acclimated to a situation before making him do something. It just takes him a little while :)
* Overall, Gray is such a sweet-hearted little guy, and is SO much fun! I love every minute I get with this little guy!

Blue Pants???
Steve and I have been trying to institute a new rule at naptime/bedtime: Gray can only have three toys in his crib with him. Otherwise, he'll sit there and ask for every single toy in his room, until there's no room in there for HIM (proof: the photo above)! So lately we've been telling him "You can have THREE toys, Grayson. 1,2,3!" and count as he names toys he wants. It's been working fairly well, with only the occasional tantrum. Today at naptime he got me laughing though. He asked for his first two toys (Thomas the train and Doc from Cars), and I said "Okay, you can have ONE more toy." He put his hand on his cheek, said "Uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm"......... and had a look of intense concentration on his face, then suddenly smiled and exclaimed, "BLUE PANTS!!!!" and seriously made me get the navy shorts he wore yesterday out of the hamper. Then he just layed down and said "Ni-igh'" like he always does when he's ready for me to leave, and I left. Since when do 'blue pants' count as a toy?? And where does he come up with these things?????

Happy Anniversary!!
Today is our 6th Anniversary! 6 years ago today was the best day of my life, and it's only gotten better from there!!! Steve and I were married in the Ogden Temple on July 27th, 2004. It's crazy to think we've been married that long -- and that we've known each other for TEN years! But it also feels like we've always been together! I love being married to this guy! :D
We celebrated by going down to Salt Lake (THANKS to my awesome MIL Jeanne for watching Gray for us!). We went to P.F.Chang's (where we went the night we got engaged!) and ate yummmmmy food. Then we spent a gift certificate at Great Harvest (got the yummy sunflower bread and AWESOME cookies! For FREE! Wa hoo!!), and wandered around Trolley Square for a while (anyone else depressed at how sparse it is lately?? There were only like 10 shops in the whole place!) -- and got my favorite Apple Pie caramel apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!! While we drove home, we reminisced about our wedding day and early married days. Got me giggling a few times :) Then my awesome hubby let me take a nap while he took care of Gray and even got him ready for bed! I guess he tried to wake me up, but I was dead to the world. (I thought the pregnancy exhaustion was supposed to go away by the 2nd trimester!!! blecchh)
Anyway, Happy Anniversary, Steve-o baby! I love you with all my heart! The past 6 years have been wonderful, and I'm looking forward to spending eternity with you! *MWAH*!

Oh Baby!!
So I suppose I should document a bit more of what's been going on for the first trimester of this pregnancy :) I found out I was pregnant in the middle of May -- just with an at-home pregnancy test. I took it while Grayson was napping and Steve was at work, so I was alone when I found out -- I just smiled and cried and prayed to thank Heavenly Father for this little miracle! I told Steve by using his iPad (totally appropriate if you know what a technophile he is! :) hehe) -- There's an App by Pampers that tracks your pregnancy week by week, shows you what is going on developmentally, how big the baby is, etc. So here's a screenshot of what it looked like:
I handed that to Steve and said "This is how big your baby is!" -- he smiled, said "You're pregnant?!?!?" and kissed me. Then he said "We need a bigger car!" HAH! Such a male thing to say, don't you think?! (Also, as a side note: we bought a Toyota Highlander a few weeks ago because of this. So he's happy now! :) hehe)
Here's an ultrasound pic of the little seahorse:
I say "little seahorse" because that's what Grayson called it when we showed him the picture :) I'm totally with him on that one! We're trying to "prepare" Grayson a little for the new arrival, but he doesn't seem to be able to quite grasp the concept. I tell him there's a baby in my tummy, and he laughs like it's the funniest thing he's ever heard -- like I just said I had a cow in my elbow or something. Maybe it'll make more sense when my belly gets big(ger). I'm totally open to suggestions here! What can I do to get him ready for a new baby? He's 2 1/2 now -- he'll almost be 3 when Baby is here.
Speaking of which, my official due date is January 17th, 2011 -- that sounds SO far away! I'm sure it'll be here before I know it, though! It's already seemed to go by a little faster than my first pregnancy. Probably because I'm busy chasing a 2 year old around!!! I think this time around is a little bit easier (in that I haven't actually thrown up -- just constantly queasy; plus, I'm not working 12-hour shifts at the hospital!), but also harder (that whole 2-year old thing, ya know). I'm completely EXHAUSTED all the time -- I feel so bad for Grayson -- I haven't taken him to do as many things as I should -- I just don't feel up to it! But hopefully now that I'm into my 2nd trimester, I'll be feeling better soon, and we can go explore more often!
The weirdest thing about this pregnancy is that I've been craving ground beef. Which I HATE. I usually won't eat ground beef unless it's an actual hamburger. But now I've been eating tacos and spaghetti with meat sauce, and anything else I can get with beef in it. SO weird. I've also been craving sweets (especially donuts and muffins) -- which is SO dangerous. With Grayson, I craved anything sour -- which doesn't really seem to be happening this time. Maybe this time we're having a girl???? :)
We are SO excited for this new little one, and can't wait to meet him/her!!

Fun on the Fourth!
Happy Fourth of July!!! We had lots of fun over the weekend -- here's what we've been up to!!
We went to North Ogden's parade -- thanks Tyson and Jacque for letting us camp out on your lawn! :)
Look how cute these kids are -- Gray, Brylee and Jackson
Gray liked the trucks, but not so much when the sirens went off.
Dad caught a popsicle -- score!
He was so cute and excited -- he was bouncing up and down!
Gray loved the candy he got -- he carried the sucker and the salt water taffy around.
Daddy was so good to carry him around.
Gray's favorite things: The HORSES...
...and the TRAIN!
Proof for Scott that Jeanne did her appointed job and ran out to get candy for Gray :)
Proof that I was there, too :)
Grayson got bored near the end of the parade, and wandered back into Tyson's back yard -- and I don't blame him -- they have an awesome setup back there! :) Gray loved the playground:
And the big tree he could walk under!
And then he found the best thing EVER -- LIVE CHICKENS!!!!!
Whoa, baby -- he was EXCITED! He loved throwing peas into the cage for them to eat.
But when Tyson brought one of them outside the cage, he kept his distance :)
Later, after we all had our afternoon nap :) we went over to the Barkers' house for a fun BBQ/swim party! Thanks for inviting us!
Gray was a bit apprehensive about being in the water -- not so used to being in pools this big!
Then today we went over to my mom's house for yummy food and hangin' out :)
We had YUMMY home-made chocolate ice cream!!
Steve was so cute to wedge into the little kid chair so Gray didn't feel left out at the kid's table :)
...except then Grayson left STEVE alone at the kid's table.....Steve doesn't look too sad about it, though, does he?! :)
I made these red, white, and blue chocolate-covered strawberries -- festive, aren't they?!
Gray also got to hang out in a pool that was more his size.
He loved the big boat toy!
Everywhere he went, Gray would make us ALL go with him -- he'd go around to everyone, grab our hands, and say "Go! You come, too!" So his Nana decided they were a "parade" and we all marched around the yard for a bit :)
Happy Birthday, America! :) And speaking of BIRTHDAYs, we have a pretty special one coming up in 6 months......
That's right! Baby #2 is on his/her way -- due in mid-January 2011! WAHOO!!!! :oD (and bytheway, this is the exact size of the baby right now -- hence why I am holding the iPad up to my belly) We couldn't be more excited! :)
