How did 2 years FLY by? Oh my goodness. He is growing up before our eyes and its such a fun age! The tantrums have calmed down a little and he is in a learning spurt - in the last couple of weeks he has learned about shapes, colors, and numbers!! Its crazy how much he retains! He can count from 1-10 by himself if counting toys or something in a book. He can recognize some colors and definitely his shapes. He points them out at the grocery store in the aisles - some of our aisles have triangle shapes and he knows that is what it is (of course he speaks toddlerese but we know what he is saying it sounds very close!) Its unbelievable - we are so proud of him!!!
He is so very sweet, hugs and kisses all the time - he is saying all sorts of words and can make his "F" sound pretty well for Waffle and Fan. Such a big boy! He is starting to listen as we say no and its like he is understanding more. He knows the word Hot, but doesn't quite get what it means yet - he knows it might mean he needs to stay away or be careful but he thinks the washer can be hot - haha so he is pretty funny.
This is his usual morning routine - he wakes up and I turn on his lamp and give him a few books and toys to play with inside his crib for quiet time while I wake up and get everything prepared - putting the dog in the kitchen and turning on my coffee - brushing my teeth! He does so good - then he says "Up" when he is ready to get down for the day.
He knows all the colors of his lamp he knows they are circles - so cute
Didn't get many good 23 month pics - he wouldn't smile at all.
He loves Baby Einstein at night time, but during the day he is loving Bubble Guppies! It actually teaches them some things which I love - he likes the one that has the Spring Chicken that says "Bawk Bawk Bawk" and he goes all around the house doing that and asking for Bubble. He will sit the entire show and laugh and learn things that he repeats later. We don't watch it a lot - but at least 1 time a day
We are doing swimming lessons with Lauren again this year and its going okay - he isn't too fond about the lesson itself. I think he is scared and irritated that he can't play in the toddler area the entire time we are at the pool. So we are still giving it a try. He cries and fusses the whole time. But when he is in the toddler area and in control he loves it!
He also likes to lay and roll around on our bed - we tickle and he plays with some of his toys - hides under the covers and watches the fan.
He played with his hamper for a long time yesterday - going inside and out - laughing - he thought it was hilarious! He is really getting this funny personality - he will try to make you laugh and he definitely likes for us to tickle and do funny things to laugh together. He is still such an amazing sleeper and he is not throwing fits to get into his car seat or changing his diaper any more. He just moved up into a size 6!
Oh and also - he has been telling us "poopie" and sometimes he is correct. But sometimes he just pees. But he is beginning to recognize that something is going on down there when he says "poopie" of course I am no where near potty training! I have heard that can be a huge debacle so I am waiting as long as possible - until he is ready. Such a smartie!!
We are getting ready for his 2nd birthday at The Wonder Place on his actual bday in July....of course I will have tons of pics to post - I cannot believe it!
