We can't wait to celebrate both kids' birthdays with the family this weekend. So much to be grateful for!
Here are some highlights as our baby turns 2:
- Tay is back to sleeping nomal through the night after adjusting to life post vacation. YAY!! He does now need to sleep with his tool kit - He runs and finds it before bedtime and holds it while we rock and nurse. And then takes it into his crib. He doesn't play with the tools but just needs them with him to sleep. So funny and sweet!
- His appetite goes up and down - He can sometimes be just too busy to bother with a full meal. And then he'll decide he's hungry and chow down. He also does not like his high chair half the time and wants to sit at the table like Avery.
- Tay really loves his tools and the safety goggles that go with them. He wears them pretty much nonstop. We left his actual safety goggles at a friend's house for a few days so he resorted to wearing swim goggles until we got them back. And he will go nowhere without his toolkit - He panics if it's not with him. So cute but also can be annoying as they fall out and we are constantly picking them up and putting them back together!
- He also still loves cars, trains and lining things up. I am excited to get him set up with his train table this weekend :)
- He is very chatty and starting to say more words here and there. He tells you he is TWOOOOOO when you ask him how old he is. He is for sure trying to form words and tells us long stories all the time. And he can get a little frustrated when he wants something and we aren't getting what it is. Someday we'll understand :)
- He is very attached to me - Especially in the mornings when he knows I am about to go up and work he gets super panicked and clingy. And can be kinda mean to people trying to take him away from me.
- He loves books and has opinions about what we read at night. He'll point to the ones he wants and just hold his toolbox, rock and read. One of my favorite parts of the day!
- Tay can have a temper when he doesn't get what he wants and be SUPER dramatic.
- And he is ALL BOY - Constantly climbing the bar stools and hopping between them, diving from the ottoman to the couch and standing on top of tables. He is really agile! Things Avery would NEVER have dared just come naturally to him. Can scare me but also funny.
- Still is loving nerf guns and shooting things. Ugh!
- Tay loves to hang with the big kids in the neighborhood - Loves to watch shows with them, play and run around. He sometimes gets hurt because he's the littlest one in the group but he can pretty much hold his own.
- He has a weird thing about clothes - sometimes he HATES getting dressed. Will get furious when we try to change his pants, diaper, shirt, etc.
- Tay has a great memory - We'll go back to places we haven't been in a long time and he'll head right for whatever he liked the last time we were there. He's a smart kiddo!
- I just love him so much - He can be wild and stubborn and frustrating but also so funny, sweet, innocent and cute. Grateful for this awesome boy every day!
Goggles!
