Being 2!

We had your 2 year apt on Friday and you are still a shortie- 33inches (14%) and around 29 lbs (66%). You hated being weighed and measured..you screamed hysterically. When they listened to your heart and checked your ears you clung to me and breathed in heavy staring at them; trying not to cry. You hated your one shot too! No more shots till age 5! Yay!

*Wearing a huge mix of clothes, 2T shirts some 3T, pjs-24 months to 2T in the zip up fleece and the cotton ones you can wear the 2T or 3T..the tops are very hard to get on haha, for pants you still drown in a lot of 24 month pants but the 18 month ones are short.

*Shoes-wearing a size 5.5 still tiny feet, we bought you some new shark sandals that are a size 6 but are a little big on you.

*Wearing a size 6 diaper but they are kinda big on you..the daycare was insisting we move up a size..I think we could go back to the 5s.

*Becoming a picker eater...some days you ll go to town and others you wont eat much. You love pineapple..you call it apple. haha You love your milk- we are going to switch you to 2% this week. You love juice too (mostly water with a splash of gatorade)--prob not the best for you but we gave you gatorade when you had the flu and now your hooked, you wont just drink plain water.) You like hot dogs, mac and cheese, cheese sticks, cheerios. Cookies/candy--you just help yourself if you find these things so we have to keep them hidden.

*We keep you up a little later now we usually will start the bed time routine around 730 now and youre usually sleeping by 8--some nights you'll kick your crib hard and jabber until you finally give in and fall asleep. You still havent tried to climb out of your crib and Im hoping you dont..Im dreading this. You usually sleep till 645ish.. YOu still take one nap..usually after lunch around 12-1230 and will usually sleep a couple of hours.. sometimes we need to wake you up..

*You love to be outside again, going to the park and going down the big slide! We put together your sandbox from grandma and you love it! You want to be in there non stop. You love running all around the yard and down the street. We constantly have to chase after you!

*You can count to about 12 (when you want to), kinda sing the abcs with help and twinkle twinkle. You can put together your A to Z puzzle very well. You are starting to like duplos and building things. Obsessed with choos choos everytime you hear one coming by our house you run to the window to watch for it. Also love buses--point to them on the way home everyday and freak out when you see them.

*Still like books alot..youll want to read them over and over.

*Starting to like Mickey Mouse Club on tv..you like to do the hot dog dance haha its so cute!

*You are quite the lil stinker you'll jump on the couch or stand on things you know you are not suppose to and they say HEY and laugh and jump up and down or youll say Landon! like you are yelling at yourself.

*We started up round two of swim classes..you just love it.. you scream when its time to get out of the water.

*You like to say the word no a lot; you'll shake your head and say no no no in a different high pitched tone.

*You are combining a lot of words to make questions/sentences.. Where are you choo choo? etc Its been fun to see you learn alot of words, we still cant understand you at times.

*No real interest to learn the colors or in potty training.. We bought everything for it a while ago and the one that goes on the toilet you have screamed when we put you on it and the little potty chair you liked to play with and drag it around so we just put it away bc we dont want you to think its a toy.. Sometimes youll say potty but generally youll lie if we ask you if you went potty. You are disturbed by a messy or soaked diaper either. You still hate to get your diaper changed too!

*You still like the i pad but its not as much of an obsession. Thank god!! haha You have a lot of the little rhymes memorized. Some are English ones..so its very funny.
