Grayson's 2nd Birthday Party

Grayson was lucky enough to have two birthday parties for his 2nd Birthday. The first one was planned and took place at Chuck E Cheeses in Roanoke. We went to my parents for the weekend to celebrate February birthday-palooza (Meredith, Grayson, Michelle, and Kelly all have Feb. birthdays) and had his birthday party while there. My kids love seeing Madison so it was fun to have them all together at Chuck E Cheeses to play games, eat pizza and cake, and open presents.

 If you asked what he wanted for his birthday he would say, "helmet birthday", every time. Madison made his wish come true and gave him a Spiderman Helmet.
 Several days later he was still wearing the helmet. He even tried to sleep in it.
 
The other birthday party was a last minute decision planned a day before his actual birthday. Myrtle Beach has a hotel with an indoor waterpark. We decided to make the mid-week trip for one night to play in the pool and have a pizza party with Melissa, Katy, Kelly and Jay.
Grayson has turned into a little fish. He was determined to swim on his own and would jump in without us knowing. We had to pull him off the bottom a couple times. He would cry for a minute because it scared him and then went right back to jumping off the side.

Hudson (6 months old) floated all over the pool. There is a picture of Carrington at 3 months old with Aaron at the same pool, in the same float.
