Things to Remember

We had our second year appointment for Case, and besides the stats I started thinking about how I want to remember the little things about this age forever. 

So here it goes...

He is 34 1/4 inches tall, and a whopping 25 1/2 lbs. Doctor said he is perfectly on track with his height and weight since birth, and that he will be long and lean.

We asked about his sometimes picky eating habits and his vocabulary, and our pediatrician assured us that the eating was very normal and that he was healthy and doing great. He told us Case wasn't leading the pack in his word development but wasn't behind either. He said to watch it for the next several months, and if we were still a little concerned we could address it then.
His vocabulary has already started to expand. He's starting to repeat more and more and say two word sentences more often. I think he'll be fine. :)

He has excellent fine and large motor skills, he has some serious eye and hand coordination going on, and we are pretty sure he's going to be a lefty.(Daddy's pretty excited about this because the boy LOVES baseball...and football...and golf...and basketball)

He is still very cuddly, in the mornings and the evenings when he's a little bit sleepy he will cuddle up with us on our laps forever. I am cherishing every moment of this because I know it won't last forever!

He loves to say "Bye bye, See ya!"

He gives Mommy and Daddy kisses all of the time, and he's getting pretty good at hugs. 

I catch him telling himself "Good Job" when he's playing. :)

His favorite toys right now are matchbox cars, trucks and blocks. 

He loves to read before bedtime, and he's very particular about which books. He wants to pick them out himself :)

He loves to brush his teeth, but hates getting his hair washed. 

His new favorite movie is Shrek. He got it for his birthday and we have watched it probably about 20 times since the party! He laughs at the funny parts, says "Ohhh Noooo!" in the scary parts and dances with the music. It's so cute!

He loves watching Football with Daddy.

He loves to play and explore in the park. 

He says thank you. 

He holds our hand when we are out, and when getting things out of the car he waits right next to me with his hand in the air, waiting for me to take it.

He hates when Gunner tramples over his toys or licks his face while he's busy playing. 

He loves when Daddy comes home, and sometimes during the day he will look for Daddy all over the house- those are the days we call Daddy and talk to him for a few minutes. :)

He loves his family, he gets so excited when he sees them and knows everybody's names. (This includes his favorite "Aunts and Uncles")

Some of his favorite foods include: Spaghetti, Pizza, Turkey, Cheese and Sweet Potatoes. 

He runs and romps, and is so tough. Several times this summer we found a bloody knee or elbow after the incident because he rarely cries when he falls down!

He is still a champion sleeper. He goes to bed between 8 and 8:30pm and wakes up around 7:30 to 8am. He's still napping 2-3 hours a day.

He tests our limits, and we've had a few "time outs" but so far he is a very good listener. :) (Yes, I'm savoring that for as long as it lasts too!)

He's a pretty awesome kid, with the sweetest heart. He's growing up so fast!

Sorry for my sappy post, but I'm pregnant and emotional so I'm allowed :)
