Uh-Oh, Gray can talk!

We have been (not) patiently waiting for Graydon to begin talking over the last several months. Occasionally we would recognize a word that he would say, but he wasn't "talking." He does listen and respond to the words that we speak - "Graydon, go get a book to read." "Graydon get that ball." But he was very quiet and preferred screaming or pointing to get what he wanted.
We all have been working with him for many months, even big brothers have stepped in - "Graydon, say ball, SAY BALL!"
I guess all of our work finally paid off or he just decided it was "time to talk."

Here is a sneak peek into our now "Toddler Gray"
