This past Saturday was James' 2nd birthday -- we have a two year old! At his two year check up last week, he weighed in at 25.5 lbs and 34 inches tall. That puts him right in the middle of the 20th-40th percentile, with his weight at the lower end and his height at the higher end. He just got one shot and had a blood draw. He did really well at his appointment and was rewarded with a trip to the zoo with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. He loves the zoo, especially the bears, monkeys, and giraffes.
We had a small family birthday for him. Special birthday muffins, pizza, and presents. James got a keyboard from Mommy and Daddy:
He enjoyed his new blocks from Grandma and Grandpa:
And a fun new book from Grandpa:
Not a bad birthday!
Our little two year old is learning so much each day. He is starting to speak in sentences and his vocal abilities have increased so much just these past couple of months. He knows his numbers through 12 and most letters. The letters "Z" and "O" are particular favorites. He's still such an active little boy, but every once in a while, a new toy or book will catch his attention long enough that he will sit down for 15 minutes to play or read.
He's such a fun and funny little boy. I don't think we will ever tire of his hugs, kisses, and snuggles.
