pearson {24 months}

Oh my goodness......we have a TWO year old.  This year has just flown by.  It has been such a fun year watching you learn and grow.  You amaze us everyday at how smart you are.  We are so proud to be your parents and so glad that you are ours forever!!

Measurements:  Coming tomorrow after his 2 yr appointment

Clothes:

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

Sleeping: Naps lately have been 3-4 hours.  You go down so easy around 12:30 and wake up so happy!  Bedtime has been pushed back to 8-8:30 because you are just not ready to go to bed early anymore.  Wake up time varies these days.  Some days you wake up at 6:30 and some days you wake up at 8am.  I just never know with you!!

Eating: You drink 3 sippy cups of milk and eat 2 snacks and 3 meals a day.  Some days I fell like all you do is snack because you prefer snacks over meals.  Then there are other days when you eat whatever meals

New Tricks: You are learning so many new words each day.  You will repeat almost anything we say.  You can follow one step directions.  You are starting to learn your letter sounds.  You are also stringing two ad sometimes three words together.

Words: I didn't add any this month because I didn't keep track, but you have SOOOOOO many new words.  You repeat everything we say.  If we don't understand what you are saying, you keep saying it over and over!!

Other Random Things:

• You got bit for the first time.  You were pretty tough about it.  I'm just glad you weren't the Biter.
• You are starting to interact and play with your friends more. 
• You tell us "I wuv you" after we say it to you!!
• You love to read your Bible at night before we go to bed.  If we forgot you cry out, "Mommy, Daddy, Bible."
• Every night after we get out of the bath you say "Daddy Beesball."  You love to watch the Rangers after bathtime with Daddy!
• When we drive by Lolly & Pops house, you get so excited.......until we drive past their house and you cry out "YaPack" (your combined name for Lolly & Pops).

Look how you've changed.
