34 Months

You weigh 29.6 pounds and are 36 3/4 inches tall.

You still eat and sleep well. For your age, your palate is very refined. =) You had chicken nuggets for the first time this month. You liked them. They definitely won't be a staple at our house, but every once in awhile we can get them. 

You started swim school. You love it! I can't wait to see how far you progress over the next few months. 

We have been crazy busy this month with tons of things. We went to Silver Dollar City (twice), Rutledge Wilson Park for Harvest Days, the Library Station,  had playdates with Silas (new friend), Jumping Joey's, Jump Mania, etc!

There have been some firsts this month as well. We did a bonfire, rode the lawn mower, decorated a pumpkin and more.

Daddy and I are enjoying these days with you. Love you!

 A first: You finally rode/drove the lawn mower. You loved it!

 I picked you up like this (with streaks of dirt on your face) from school. You guys played hard outside. =)

 1st Bonfire (Many more pictures to come)

 1st Pumpkin Decorating: I decided to use washable markers, so you wouldn't get messy. Well, turns out that wasn't too smart. Over the next few days, the pumpkin's face washed away. 

 The first time the pumpkin "fell" off the step.

 After this picture, I went inside to take the camera. I hear, "Mommy, help". The pumpkin had rolled down the yard, past the street into the ditch. You "helped" it get there "accidentally" by kicking it. =)

 Sharing your first "big boy" ride with Preston (it was his first time too!).

 1st visit to the Library Station. You loved it!

Our little Fish

Greyson and Luke (ha!) started swimming lessons yesterday. One loved it and one thought it was torture. Can you guess who was who? =)

Ok, I'm serious now (not that I wasn't serious just a second ago), but I want to spill the details. DiVentures offers swimming lessons for all ages and I had called them repeatedly this summer trying to get Greyson in. No luck. Well, I decided to give them one more call and they had an opening. Monday nights from 6-6:30. He is in the "Baby and Me" class which is for ages 6-36 months. To ''graduate"out of this class, he has to be able to blow bubbles, submerge underneath the water, have 8-10 seconds of breath control and understand pool safety methods.

On the way to class, he was definitely a bit nervous. He told us all the way there that he did not want to go under the water. When we got there, he was a bundle of energy. He was so stinking excited. It was so cute. =)

We met the teacher and the boys got changed out. They started in the pool working on floating on their belly. Luke supported him and then tried to teach him how to blow bubbles. The teacher had about ten different "stations" of things to do set up within the pool area. It was seriously great. One of the pool safety things, was to hang on the edge of the pool and use your hands to go hand over hand along the edge. While going hand over hand, Greyson then had to push down little foam turtles. Pool safety and a game all at once = one amazing time for a toddler.

I sat on the bleachers and watched the whole time. Luke got to deal with a squirmy toddler that asked (probably 100 times, seriously) "what do we do next"? Luke said that he actually had fun, but Greyson was so high energy that it made it a bit hard.

 Showing off his new shark towel.

 Pretending to be sharks.

 Getting changed after class.

Greyson didn't want to leave and can't wait till next week.

Car Wash

Greyson loved this activity. Washing mini cars with dish soap and a toothbrush, who would have known? I think he went at it for over an hour with all kinds of different vehicles. It is definitely a "must do" again.
