pearson {23 months}

Posting a little late since we were on vacation.

I can not believe our little man is almost two.  This year has gone by so fast.  The last few months have definitely been trying as he is learning to push our limits and test our boundaries. However, he still brings so much joy to our lives.  He is funny and so full of energy and all boy.  We wouldn't change a thing about him!!

Measurements:  It's impossible to weigh and measure a toddler on the run so we will just have to wait until we get our official 2 year stats next month.

Clothes:

• shirts/onesies: 24 months & 2T
• shorts/pants: 24 months 
• pjs: 24 months & 2T
• diaper: Size 5
• shoe: size 5's & 6's

Sleeping: You have been taken great naps this months, usually 3 hours from 12:30-3:30.  You have decided that 6:30 is your wake-up time now.  I honestly wouldn't mind if you woke up happy but you wake up screaming! Ugh!!

Eating: You drink 3 sippy cups of milk and eat 2 snacks and 3 meals a day.  You've been eating like a typical toddler these days, liking food one day then turning yours nose up on the next.  However while you were with grandparents last week they said you ate anything and everything including lots of vegetables!!

New Tricks: You can run really fast.
