Clothing: 2T
Height: 35"
Weight: 25lbs
Favorite things: Beanie Boos (big eyed stuffed animals) or doggys, playing with his Melissa and Doug ice cream, puzzles, books, especially interested in dangerous items like carrying around batteries, marbles, and small gems. Totally still needs his pacifier except at night. Watching shows with his siblings, his favorite is Curious George ("monkey show"). Running and screaming. Eating dried cranberries.
Personality: very lively, funny and goofy, many expressions, typical two year old with highs and lows all day. Needs his pacifier to help soothe him. Enjoys snuggling, being carried, being silly, his brother and sister. He's very empathetic when Camden or Savannah is crying and wants to give them a hug or kiss. Very polite and says "Thank you, Mommy/Daddy" when we give him is plate at dinner or other items. Still very loud when mad. He seems older than 24 months to me most of the time. He also just went through a phase where he was apparently scared of monsters at night? He is very difficult at restaurants wanting to get up as soon as he's done eating and very fidgety. He's an animal enthusiast (especially doggys and kitty cats). He's open to try new things. He has us laughing A LOT.
I'd say over the last several months Camden and Savannah have really enjoyed having him as a little brother. He cracks them up with the things he does (like taking off his clothes and being "naken") and seeing the world through his toddler eyes. Camden enjoys chasing and wrestling with him while Savannah likes to baby him. She even "potty trains" him by asking him if he needs to go pee (he always says yes) and then carrying him to the bathroom and setting him on the toilet seat with his clothes on for a few seconds.
missing his paci
forgot about paci
always says "windy out" when the weather is bad (but it actually was windy here)
"need hat"
"did it!"
loving his "goggy"
cup of cossee
Biggest achievements over the last year:
- has not needed an oral antibiotic since he got tubes in July and has not had any bad ear infections
- after a difficult several months at the start of the year (was at a very difficult stage as far as yelling and getting into things), he's now easier to manage and easier to work with
- huge leap in language and is speaking in up to 3 word phrases
-knows several colors like pink, black, white brown, purple (why not more basic colors?)
-we just realized he can probably count to 10 but seems to get distracted/embarrassed partway in and doesn't finish
Goals for this year:
-Work on potty training at some point, but probably not for awhile
- Get rid of the paci (besides nap time), not looking forward to that
- Transition to a big boy bed and room at some point
- possibly start in 2's preschool in the fall
Funny tidbits:
-he thinks every restaurant is McDonalds
-he started saying "actually" like "actually, no poopin" (which actually means he is pooping)
- says phrases like "rock you, me" because I ask if he wants me to "rock you" and that means yes
-wants to drink "cossee" (coffee)
- if he or anyone else has a "booboo" he says, "oh, Cammy did it" (blaming Camden)
-says "oh! Scared me!" a lot when he's surprised
-sleeps with about 4 "goggys" (doggys) in his bed at night
