Two years has flown by with this little guy. He is truly the sweetest little boy. We are all so in love with him. He is also adorably cute which just gets all of us into trouble because he gets away with way too much. Right now he loves trucks and reading. He is an impressive climber (and this is after having a big sister that is a climber...I'm still surprised where he ends up sometimes!). He loves to take baths and often spends all day in pajamas. His favorite pajamas are monster pajamas and he sleeps with a million "snuggies" in bed. Now that he has started "reading" his own books he often has several of those in bed too. He loves bubble baths or baths with shaving cream to play with. His vocabulary has exploded since his tubes but he is still the most powerful communicator with that cute little face. He loves to wave "hi" when he sees you. I am absolutely his favorite person and get the most snuggles from him. If one of his sisters is sad he will go over to them and try to comfort them. If someone is crying, he'll go get tissues for them. He is a great eater and thinks that anything I have is fair game for him. His loves are a bit random when it comes to food - cheese sticks, carrots/cucumbers and ranch, pistachios, pirates booty. "Mine!" is a word he quickly figured out both to lay claim to things that are his and to inquire where his is if both his sisters have something. At dinner sometimes instead of eating he'll run laps around the table stopping to wave his little hand and say "hi" to everyone. He also likes to count, "One, two, fwee" right before he throws things and say, "Stop! Fweeze" with his hand up like a stop sign. A little parrot of what he hears all the time, he'll come to me and wave his finger saying, "No, dir (sir)". Often he will clap and say, "great job!" for himself or for other people. Sometimes he'll stand up in his chair and sing the "hot dog" song from Mickey Mouse and do the dance. Both of which make everyone laugh which totally reinforces bad behavior. I had to start sitting across the table from him because if I sat next to him he'd slid his food, drink and napkin in front of me and climb in my lap to eat in my lap for the entire meal. We can't wait to see what the future holds for us with this sweet little guy. He's been too busy to eat lately and his weight is only in the 20% at 25.5 lbs while his height is in the 63% at 34.5 inches.

| Loves those sweets! |

| I thought he was going to like throwing paper more than his present, but he didn't. He was really excited about all the truck books! |
