24 Month Update

I waited until Griffin's birthday party to take our monthly picture so that he would be in his birthday shirt....and mostly because we've been gone and so busy. However, I forgot to put the sticker on him. Oh well. He just had his 24 month well visit today with Dr. Sponenberg and passed with flying colors. No concerns with this perfect little boy. 

Weight: 26lbs 10 oz - 31st percentile
Height: 34 inches - 36th percentile (big drop here....he must be shrinking now!)
Head: 50 3/4 cm - 93rd percentile (don't be alarmed, they said he looked normal)
Diaper size: still wearing size 4 at night, pull ups during the day - as soon as school starts, the ladies at daycare will be getting down to business, but they say he is really close to being completely potty trained anyway
Clothing size: 18-24 moths, but 3T pajamas

Things to note at the 2 year mark:
  • he loves trains
  • he adores Mickey Mouse
  • when you ask him a question he will sometimes respond with..... "ummmmmm, then his answer" like he really needs to think about it
  • he still loves his dad more than anything
  • he can identify red, blue, green, yellow, and purple
  • he counts to 3 on his own and to 10 with help
  • shape sorters are a piece of cake - he has awesome fine motor skills
  • shoes are overrated, he'd much rather walk across anything barefoot
  • hats should be worn backward.....I don't know where this came from--although Drew wears a hat every day, it's rarely ever on backward!
  • all boo boos must be kissed, and if you aren't available to do it.....he will kiss his own
  • sharing is not a strong characteristic, will continue to work on that
  • he's very sweet with babies - they likely will get a kiss, even cousin Owen got several through the phone while Skype-ing

Most of the "belly stickers" advertised only go up through 24 months. I debated whether I should stop the monthly pictures. But thank God for Etsy! Of course, they will be glad to make me a set through 36 months. I will really try to get a hold of myself by then, but for now......I'm going to enjoy doing this. I'm also forming one hell of a scrapbook--monthly pictures from his first 2 years of life! I know, I'm crazy. Let's just hope our next child gets the same treatment.
