First day of school (one year old classroom) January 2014
Happy 2nd Birthday!! This year has flown by even faster than last year (which of course makes me really sad but I probably didn't need to mention that). You have the biggest personality which we just love! You talk to anyone and everyone. At lunch the other day you sat with an older couple and talked away. They loved it! You think every party is for you and you love to be in the center of attention. It is never ever a dull moment with you. You have the most energy I have ever seen…running everywhere! No one can sit down and if we try you immediately demand, "up please." You love to be chased or wrestled with. Your climbing skills are very impressive. The day I found you on the table hanging upside down I called and signed you up for gymnastics. You LOVE gymnastics. If you would stop and pay attention for 5 seconds you would probably be pretty amazing but who has time for that?! Gymnastics has taught you to now jump and forward roll everywhere… and yes into furniture.
You love your shades!
I would say you are pretty even as far as which parent you go to the most. Mommy is for snuggles and daddy is for fun. Although you never let mommy sleep in but it's ok if daddy is sleeping… You love working out with daddy and if you hear him in the garage you say "shoes on" so you can join in on the fun. You have some pretty awesome push ups (they look like the worm) and leg lifts. You even grunt along with them :)
Easter! You sat through maybe 20 minutes of church and tried to swim with ducks in dirty water. Typically Jackson!
You love to help mommy with everything! You have gotten really good at helping with laundry, except when you climb in the drier… You still are one cuddle bug, which I will never complain about. I think I taught you well because you hug and kiss everyone (with a pat on the back).
You love your water table!
Typical day reading books and eating your snack :)
Your favorite toys are the monkeys (you sleep with at least two a night), elmo, mickey mouse, trucks, tools, grill, ride or push toys, the robot (our roomba), the cats, and books. And now your bike that you got for your birthday is a new obsession.
At the alligator farm
You are a fantastic eater! And you can now eat more egg and soy so you eat everything!! You really love milk, fruit, meat, SWEETS. We can't mention cake, cookies, or cupcakes because you go nuts. It's so cute! We have really started enjoying taking you to eat because you can almost have everything!
Sleep ugh. Jackson!! Terrible sleeper still. You are now up at 5:50-6:15 every. single. morning. You inconsistently cry when we put you down which about drives me mad but then we have good nights where you go right to bed. You take one nap for about 2 hours. Sometimes you don't nap but you look out your window and teepee your room in wipes. Of course now when I open the door you say "no nap." When you wake up from a nap or bedtime you ask "mommy here?" Really freaking cute.
At your two year check up you weighed 34 pounds and 30 inches. You know ALL your body parts, ALL the animal sounds, count to twelve say most of ABC's, sing along to songs, stack blocks 6-10, color pictures, and are TALKING up a storm- consistently 2-3 phrases sometimes 3-5, your vocabulary is around 200-300 words. Your articulation is age-appropriate with a really cute lisp (please grow out of it because I really don't want to fix it) and you can't say your /r/'s again so cute but /r/'s are hard to fix so I hope you figure this one out :)
We have fallen even more in love with you this year! We always talk about how crazy we love you!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
