The Terrib-ly Fun Two’s

Liam Turned Two…

He is so full of energy and super busy.  I can’t keep up with him.

Liam’s Two year old Stats:

• weight: 27 lbs (40 percentile)
• Height: 34 inches (40 percentile)
• learned to climb the stairs without using a rail or wall (he always looks like he’s going to fall)
• is really starting to pick up on talking (we still can’t understand a lot of what he says, but Doc says he is not delayed)
• has transitioned to a toddler bed…he only falls out every once in a while.
• learned to open doors…worst thing ever.  He also makes sure all the doors are closed.
• is very interested in how things work, and learns fast how to do it himself.
• uses our smart phones to play games, look at pictures/videos, & to call people, usually grandma, aunt mille, aunt Jodee, or Dad. 
• loves to do anything water…water plants, drink from the hose, run through the sprinklers, the kitchen sink, just be wet.
• loves to take his pants & diapers off, including when he’s going to bed (we’ve changed many clothes & sheets while he sleeps).  He has recently decided that peeing in the toilet is the greatest thing…bring on potty training.
• is doing well at matching, loves to count (especially loves the number 8), and loves to hear the alphabet.
• he’s really good at animal sounds
• will do ANYTHING for a treat…including eating his veggies
• thinks he is super funny and laughs at himself all the time
• started the “terrible two’s” at 18 months. We’ve gotten over some behaviors, but there is always a new one to take its place
• would much prefer to be around all his cousins
• likes to be outside with dad…its almost expected as soon as Jamon gets home.
• favorite things to eat: smoothies, macaroni and cheese…any kind of cheese, marshmallows, and dried fruit.  He also likes to go pick and eat raspberries. 
• is doing pretty good at being a big brother…he’s only hit Asher 1 time.
• loves to jump off of things, including dad.
• loves to longboard….no he can’t stand, he sits or lays on it.

 

Thanks to my smart phone for the nice blurry pictures.  I had to show them off.  He doesn’t pose/smile for the camera very often.

 

To celebrate we went to the Andelin Splash pad for a pool party.

His cousin Addison came

cousin Jaxon

and Ashlyn

he got some awesome presents…a car mat and cars, puzzles, play-doh, magnet and a train activity kit, crayons and paper and his favorite present…

a scooter (I don’t know what you call it.  Several cousins have them so when he saw it at a yard sale he immediately got on it and we couldn’t get him off.  We got a good deal on it and it was brand spanking new).

And here’s his cake…

He got messier with this cake than he did at his first birthday.

It was a fun party.  The kids entertained themselves.  Nope, we did not stage this picture.

Happy Birthday to my energetic, busy boy.  You make me tired, but I sure do Love you.
