Nothing like a birthday to make you want to reminisce and write it all down. Today is Grant's second birthday and last night I got to thinking about Tyler's second birthday which occurred exactly 7 days after Grant arrived in this world. It was a whirlwind that didn't include a birthday party because we just couldn't make it happen that year...I think Tyler has forgiven us.
But anyway, I've often heard the idea that the firstborn child is "the one who made me a mom" and while that is technically true that statement has never really resonated with me. 2 years ago, I had already been Tyler's mom for 2 years BUT then Grant was born and HE made me a different mom than the one I had been. So really, I've come to realize that each of them "made me a mom" in (mostly) opposite ways starting from the very beginning!
Tyler came into the world slow and steady after hours and hours at the hospital, Grant arrived fast and furious 15 whole minutes after Kevin parked the car! Grant is the talker, the climber, and the snuggler. Tyler is the thinker, the watcher and the rules man. And Grant has always smiled just a little easier than his older brother!
Grant at 2
Weight- 24 lbs
Height-
Diaper Size- 4
Clothes size- 18 months?!
Nap- 2 hours right after lunch
Bedtime- 7pm, wake up 7am but sometimes 730 or even 8am
Favorite thing he says- "Nuggle" for snuggle! He says SO many words and speaks in complete sentences something that his brother didn't even come remotely close to doing at this same age.
