My precious, precious Lukey Bear...
You are 2 years old! Your birthday was yesterday and we had so much fun celebrating you! We went to Build-A-Bear (you made a white dog with black spots) and then out to lunch. After nap time you opened your presents (you got a train table and some trains to go with it), played with balloons, we sang to you and ate cake! After we sang Happy Birthday and you blew out your candle you said, "Let's do that again!"...so we did. :) We decorated your door with streamers (which you loved running through) and we put PAW Patrol decorations downstairs. You also got to FaceTime with Grandmother, Grandaddy, and GJ and you got a phone call from Blaze (and the Monster Machines). I hope we made you feel loved and special! Here's a little more about you at 2:
- You weigh around 28 lbs.
- You wear size 2T clothes and size 8 shoes.
- You have 16 teeth with a bottom left molar coming in any day now.
- You're a great sleeper! You take a 2 hour nap each day and we don't hear much from you at night.
- Eating, on the other hand, is not your favorite thing to do. While your eating habits have improved a bit, you still don't eat super well. Your favorite foods include waffles, cheese, pasta (plain with cheese), garlic bread, grapes, and anything sweet. You still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE milk and ask for it several times a day and ALWAYS when you wake up in the morning or from naps.
- I thought you were going to be a shy little guy, but you have proved me wrong! You seem very social at school and your teacher loves to tell stories about the funny things you do there. One thing she recently said is that while the class is playing outside, you like to stand by the door and help her call for the kids to come in one by one to use the potty. She said you yell each child's name and then clap and cheer them on as they run inside. Apparently you stay there the whole time until every child has been called. Haha! In public you say "hi" and "bye" to anyone who will listen!
- You have the most adorable little voice. You are super talkative and speak very well. We understand everything you're saying and we can have conversations with you as if you're 4 or 5. :)
- You are HYSTERICAL! You have a very creative, quick little sense of humor and you keep us laughing all day! Earlier today I asked if you had pooped and you said, "No, Mom...it's just a little dump". Ha!
- I know I'm supposed to think this, but you are incredibly smart. You seem to look at things in a different kind of way. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but you make the coolest connections and point out ways of looking at things that I would never have noticed.
- Your favorite toys are cars, trucks, and trains. You also LOVE the keyboard that GJ gave you for your birthday, and a little Leapfrog letter "computer".
- Your favorite TV show is Blaze and the Monster Machines. You laugh out loud when funny things happen. It's adorable.
- You still love music! You love to sing, play music on your keyboard, and dance. You made up two little dance moves that make me laugh out loud every time.
- You're happy, independent, funny, creative, and ridiculously adorable. I am thoroughly obsessed with you and could sit and talk to you for hours without getting bored.
- You love: Cade, Cassius, singing songs, reading books, your bed, playing outside, playing with trucks, watching nursery rhymes on our phones, being rocked/sung to before bed, watching "a little TV".
- Things that you DON'T like so much are: being hungry, having a toy taken from you, hmmm...I guess it's a good thing I can't think of anything else to put here! :)
We love you sooooooooo very much and we are truly blessed to be your family!
