He's TWO!

Oh little man, you turned two yesterday and I can hardly believe that much time has passed. You are such a happy, sweet and sometimes ornery little guy. Of course you're whole family is in love with you!

Here are some deets on C at 2! For all the challenges this age has sometimes it really is one of my favorites, they are developing so many skills and personality =)

Stats: He's a big guy at 32.5 lb (95%) and 35" (64%). After his last two 2-year molars break through he'll have a full mouth full of chompers. I will not miss teething, that is for sure.

Food: As you might guess from his nice round belly he loves his vittles =) Some days he eats like a bird and other days eats more than I do but he is a pretty balanced eater and likes veggies, meats and fruits pretty equally.  He's still nursing 4-5 times a day too and shows no signs of wanting to give it up. We think he's sensitive to cow milk like his sister was and it's causing diaper rashes when he has raw dairy. So far we don't think there's an issue with cheese, yogurt, etc. so that's nice, especially since his favorite food in the world is CHEESE =)

Skills: While most of his efforts were focused on gross and fine motor around 18 months he's turned focus to verbal skills. The boy is talking up a storm and wow, it's adorable! He loves that he can communicate and even surprised us by coming home and counting to 10 last week.

Favorite things: Riding on the tractor (riding lawn mower), helping feed the dog, throwing and hitting balls (OMG, they are all over our lawn, garage, etc.), playing outside, stomping in puddles after it rains and cuddling with his stuffed animals.

B-day party: It's tonight! We are having family over for pizza and cupcakes. Yesterday on his actual birthday we took cupcakes to his school for him to share with friends and they had a swimming day which he loved. Last night we sang to him again and gave him his main present (a tool bench and tools, which he loves!).
