I've been meaning to put these in his "baby book," that only goes up to 12 months old...so that doesn't work out too well. So I need to document them before I forget. Feel free to scroll right on by. It's hard to remember everything right now, so I'm sure I'll amend it.
When asked what he wants to name his baby brother his responses were:
week 1: Blue
week 2-5: Garbage Trash (I never prompted him to say this...all from his little mind)
current: Six
There is most definitely a baby in his belly button too.

Yeth=Yes
Haka=Black
Cup-a-tea=Ka Mate (from a New Zealand Haka)

Pete-sta=Pizza
Graydon loves to be out and about and loves playing with older kids. He'd much rather be out than at home. Whenever we are driving home and he recognizes our neighborhood he starts into this sad rant of "NO GO HOME!" I hear it several times a day. I'm so glad he loves our house so much!
Brian and Kendra babysat Graydon the other day and had Little Caesar's pizza for dinner. They had gone to pick it up and Graydon stayed in the car. The other day I drove by it and he started pleading for pizza. I had no idea that it made such an impression on him, but now I have someone to share my pizza with! He usually hardly eats anything, but he downed two whole pieces of pizza!
Two months ago Graydon kept requesting "Beep" for a bedtime song. I had no idea what he was talking about until something clicked..."Jesus Wants Me For a SunBeam." He sings it in nursery and apparently thought it was Sun-Beep! So cute. As I would sing it for him he'd get to the "sunbeam" part and shout "beep" with much gusto!
Ever since X performed a haka dance back in May, Graydon deems anything black as "haka." You'd think a boy two years of age wouldn't care about his outfits each day. But oh no, he must browse through his closet, looking through all of his shirts. Most definitely he picks a "haka shirt," which means any black or navy blue shirt. Then he pairs them with khaki shorts. I am so sick of seeing him in black shirts with khaki shorts every day!
He likes to chase us around the house "run away mommy" and be the monster. He gets cute little "scary fingers" and roars.
He LOVES to jump on daddy and wrestle. In fact, he gave X a bloody nose tonight by jumping on his nose. He will run and simply lift his feet up into the air and full on body slam X. He has no self-concern.
He has a "foomie" every morning for breakfast...a smoothie.
Tried to shave with daddy's razor while mom was starting the laundry. I heard a simple "ow...ow...owie." No screaming or crying. Came into the bathroom to find blood on his shirt, pants, countertop, smeared on the mirror, and both of his hands were covered in blood. It was a small cut on his thumb, but apparently bled a lot. He wasn't too concerned though.
He is obsessed with trains (the Thomas the Tank Engine series). Still plays with his tractors, diggers, bulldozers, and cement mixers all the time.
Likes to talk about families a lot. "Mommy Beckham, Daddy Beckham, Gwaydon, Garbage Trash." Every night he requests the "Family Song" (Families Can Be Together Forever) as his bedtime song. Love it.
Tries to call Grandma and Granddad on the phone all the time...much to our phone bill's relief, he doesn't know how to call New Zealand.
Loves to watch "Cars." His favorites are "McQueen" and "Frank," the big scary farm tractor that chases Lightning and Mater at nighttime.
Can't resist going tinkle every time he gets in the bath...and laughs about it.
Likes to go potty...sitting on the toilet fully clothed for about 5 seconds and OF COURSE flushing twice. Must be thorough.
His cousin Ethan is in Utah right now and he asks to play with him everyday. When I told him he was in Utah, he said "I want Utah. I want Utah NOW."
When he does a naughty thing to us or accidentally hurts us he says "Sawwy I hurt you mommy. Hug {insert hug}. Kisth {insert kiss}. Feel betta? Sawwy mommy." So sweet.
The "THX" surround sound but at the beginning of movies scares Graydon so bad. If he's alone, he'll let out a blood curdling cry and come running for me...each time.
They were chasing each other in a circle. Did anyone catch that Graydon, of course, had a popeye in the first picture...but that X did it...and the same eye!?
