Snuggles with Grandma and Grandpa on my birthday weekend!

It is hard to explain the bond that exists between Peter and GG.  She lights up when he enters the room.  He gets excited and starts to literally yell "GG's house, GG's house" when we get close to her apartment.  When they make eye contact, he runs over to her and climbs up in her lap.  Peter loves to pray.  At mealtimes, at nap time, at bedtime, really at any time.  When we ask who he wants to pray for, the list always changes, except for one person . . . GG.  The odds are that he won't have any substantial memories of GG . . . she'll be 101 in a few short weeks, but I assure you, the bond they have will not be any less precious.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet boy!  Peter got two birthday celebration this year . . . one with Uncle Kurt, Aunt Whitney, Mac, Bennett & Bisa on his actual birthday and one in Watseka during the Memorial Day weekend!  He had a great time at both parties and ate WAY too much sugar at both :)  Some of Peter's favorite gifts were a ukulele, an umbrella, an easel, a sesame street racetrack and glow in the dark planets . . . he is a very blessed little boy! 
Since I didn't update with his two year stats, here they are:  Peter is 35" tall and weighs just under 23 pounds . . . He continues to be our tall, skinny boy!  His favorite things to do are going to the park (especially one at a nearby church that has an ark and several slides), playing with his water table, reading (of course), painting, playing his "guitar" (which is actually a ukulele) and watching anything that has to do with Sesame Street.  He is doing extremely well with potty training.  In fact, he has  started wearing underwear instead of a diaper or pull-up.  Most days are not without an accident, but there's usually just one and that is more a result of not wanting to leave a fun activity until it is too late!  Peter is still talking up a storm and is now working on learning the lower case letters and spelling his name.  He really likes learning new songs and books.  In fact, he recorded a book for grandma for her birthday . . . he has quite an amazing memory!
