I'm not sure where to even start with this one. I guess with his wellness visit results. He is 33lbs 4oz (95%) and 36.5 inches long (95%). Everything looks good with him. Finally. What a year it has been with his skin issues. But finally having them resolved and knowing that chocolate was the culprit has done wonders. Dr. Harris can't believe how good he looks. He is a big boy and I was surprised that he is "only" 33 pounds. He feels much, much heavier. Everyone that holds him comments that he is so solid. He is in size 3T clothing.
He is sweet and loves people. He loves copying and recently has started fake sneezing. He'll do this a lot after he coughs too. His fake sneeze is more like spitting but it's funny. He also has the best fake snore I've ever heard. Where do they pick up this stuff!?! He has the cutest smile and it's the best to watch him anticipate something that he's expecting, like tickling at a certain point in a song that he knows. He gets ready for it and this smile spreads across his face. We took away the paci at 22 months because he was chewing on it and ever since bedtimes have been the worst. He cries and screams and stands at his doorway, sometimes for hours. Literally. There have been some nights when he's still up after we go to bed. It has definitely been a struggle but we should get through this stage like everything else.
He is also going through the terrible 2's. It's great. The meltdowns over the slightest things. All normal, all natural, all frustrating as all get out. I created a time out zone with a gate blocking off the back laundry area. It works great. He has learned the words time out quickly. He is also still adjusting to baby sister. While he's not really acting out anymore, there is still some jealousy and he likes to be mean to her. He will step on her or gouge out her eyes. But he can be very sweet to her as well, giving her the softest of kisses on her head.
He hates: getting dressed, getting lotioned, hats, and being told no.
He loves: his blankie, watching movies (faves are How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Up, & Tangled), jumping, his Twinkle Twinkle Little Star book, balloons, sand, sticks, baths, swinging, motorcycles, tires, and trains & cars. His favorite foods are corn dogs, pizza, bananas, fruit snacks, vanilla wafers, macaroni and cheese, orange juice, fries, mashed potatoes, and toddler meals.
He's up to about 18 words but trying to say more. The words he can say that are understandable are: mama, dada, baba, ball, good, please, owie, uh-oh, no, all gone, poo poo, baby, bye, itchy, thank you, help you, go, shoe. He says more that only I can understand like movie or light, etc.
I cannot believe my baby is 2 years old. I thought it would be difficult for me but I am enjoying every new stage. I wish time would pass by slower, but it is exciting to see what new developments he makes each day. I love my Nate so much and so glad to have this little guy in my life!
