I am 2!!

Hello again!  I wanted to tell you about my second birthday!  

The first thing we did on my birthday was wake up an eat breakfast.  Mommy says I'm picky so we just stuck to the regular breakfast, eggs or cereal.  After breakfast, we watched some of my favorite television shows, especially Winnie the Pooh!! 

As soon as my shows were done, mom and I started getting ready for mommys doctor appointment.  We then had daddy pick us up and headed to the doctor.  My mommy has a baby in her belly.  I wonder if it's a brother or a sister?! 

After the doctor appointment, mommy and daddy took me to the mall down by the Spokane river, we were going to go to the möbius children's museum and science center but they weren't open on Mondays.  So we had some lunch and headed to Walmart. 

On be way to Walmart I fell asleep, so I didn't see mommy and daddy pick up some presents and cupcakes.  Later, around dinner time, I got to open my presents and eat my cupcake.  I blew the candles out and got some cars, books, trucks, blocks, a ball, and balloon! How fun! Later we talked to my papa and mawmaw turner then went to bed! 

Well that's my story!  Don't worry mommy and daddy are taking me to that place soon!!  Until next time, BYE!!

The Catch Up

Well Hello there! 

My name is Graison Liam and I need to catch you up on the last 2 years of my life! 

When I was born my mommy was only 34 weeks pregnant!  I decided to come to this world Saturday April 28, 2012 at 7:05 pm.  I weighed 5 lbs 3 oz and was 19 inches long!  The nurses were actually surprised I was that big! 

I had to spend the 6 weeks I was supposed to be in mommys belly in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) because my lungs were just a little but under developed.  While I was in there, I had to be put on lung growing steroids, I had to use a nasal cannula for my oxygen, and I had to be under the wallaby light 2 times (bilirubin therapy) because I had jaundice.

Because of my jaundice, I had to have supplemented formula added into my breastmilk so I could gain some weight and grow big and strong.  Like my daddy says "Gotta eat to grow!" But time went on and I was finally healthy enough to go home with my mommy and daddy! 

I took to breastfeeding really fast and it became my FAVORITE type of food!  I hit some milestones like crawling, standing, grabbing things, and so mommy started giving me other foods like squash, sweet potatoes, and bananas.  I didn't really care for green beans or any of that meat baby food (YUCK)!! 

Then I turned 1 all of a sudden!!  I really liked my caterpillar cake my mommy made, I put it all over my body I liked it so much.  I started walking a few weeks after that, then running came. 

My daddy deployed to Jordan for the Air Force, so mommy and I stayed at ALL of my grandparents houses for almost 7 months!  Then we went back to Washigton from Montana and met daddy at the Airport!  I missed him sooo much that I wouldn't let him go!  Even if we go places now I still want him to put me in the car seat, take me out of the car seat, and hold me or push me in the carts at stores!!  I still love my mommy though!!! 

I have been getting better at sleeping in my own bed, and I don't drink breast milk anymore; strictly cows milk for me!  Mommy says when we visit my granny great in Utah, that I will try goat milk, I wonder if that will be good! 

Well I hope that's a good story for now, but I am going to go because I need dinner!! I am a hungry, growing boy!  After dinner it is bath and then bedtime! 

So until I write another story, good bye! 

Sincerely,

Graison
