Warning!!! Mommy Brag!

I can remember when friends had their baby’s years ago, they would brag and go on for hours about the silliest things their babies were currently doing. I would do the obligatory head nod, and the obligatory “oh, how cute/sweet/adorable”. I can distinctly remember thinking that if I had to listen to one more milestone moment I might throw my hands over my ears and show this person what the terrible two’s really look like!

If you recently have found yourself feeling as I once did, you may want to stop reading now. I swore I’d never be one of “those” moms, but I also swore I would never be obsessed with baby poo… so… in the life of mommy-hood all the things you swore you wouldn’t do, you do – and proudly!

Greyson is a genius! I’m not saying this just because I’m his mother either, he truly is a genius! We have a book called baby’s 1st 100 words. Each page has pictures of items, in rows and colorful boxes with the name of the item written below. Greyson loves this book and we have “read” it countless times. Now for the genius part….. when asked, Greyson can point to the correct object on most every page!! He also will turn the pages to find the object you are asking him about. He’s so smart and loves this little game so much. Sometimes I’m completely awed that this little child, we brought home all floppy headed and sleepy, can now do such marvelous things. In 17 (gulp, yes 17 as of tomorrow) months he can now run, jump (almost), feed himself with utensils fairly neatly, find objects in a book as well as in real life (i.e. bring mommy the phone, remote, hairbrush, etc…), he sings, he dances, he scribbles and colors, he builds towers, he throws, he catches!!, he says words, he does signs, he gives the best bear hugs in all the world and passes out kisses left and right, he, well….. he’s just simply amazing.
