Dear Gavin,
Since you are all about any kind of ball, (basketballs, footballs, golf balls, baseballs, and etc.) we decided to have your second birthday be a ball themed party! You use the same word to identify all of these various kinds of balls and it is "ball-ball." So, so cute. For your party we had a playdate party on your actual birthday and then had a smaller party with a few close friends and family on Saturday.
* Your stats at 2 are as follows:) weight 37.8 height 36 inches!
* We are fairly certain you are working on your two year molars. However, it will remain a mystery until you go to the dentist for the first time because we just can't get a good enough look in there.
* Your new favorite thing to eat is frozen yogurt tubes. You think they are ice cream. We are a huge fan because they are all organic and relatively low in sugar. On the not so healthy side, you are totally addicted to suckers. Whenever we go to the grocery store, you always ask for one. If you are a good boy, then mommy will usually cave in and give you one. Other than that, you are a pretty good eater. Although, I am convinced that if you could, you would live off of applesauce, yogurt, chicken nuggets, bread and butter, and string cheese. These are totally your staples.
* As the weather is becoming nicer, mommy and daddy are realizing a fence might be needed in the backyard to contain you and your sister. You love our swing set but for some reason the neighbors always seems to be more inviting. Lucky for us, we have really awesome neighbors:)
* Speaking of the backyard, you love to water everything with the hose. We still don't have any annuals planted but have lots of things sprouting up. You are obcessed with the hose!
* Your favorite thing in the whole world right now is to go for a ride in daddy's truck. A lot of nights when daddy gets home from work, he will take you for a drive to look at various job sites that are close by. You LOVE the big trucks and can say truck and dirt.
* Your favorite books right now are Peak-a-Who and any book that has words and pictures. You get very excited to point and share the various vocabulary words you know. Your newest thing is to want to sit by yourself in the chair and have me sit on the ottoman and read to you. I have to say I really miss you sitting on my lap but you give me lots of snuggles during the day...so I will let it slide.
* You are starting to have a lot more words and are able to say a few sentences. You say, My Gigi, yogurt, Daddy's truck, I want to ride, I get down, night night, I love you, puppy, dog-dog, golf, night-night (to everything you can think of to stall going up the stairs to bed), and many other cute things.
* You have been especially snuggly lately. I love this and soak up every single minute I can of it.
* When we walk through the grocery store, you say hello to every single person you see and certainly expect a hello back. If I am stopped and looking at something, you will continue to say hello until they finally cave in say hi.
* You and Gigi love to play together. It seems like sometimes you have your own little language together. The two of you playing and laughing together is truly music to my ears.
* You wear mostly 3t clothes.
* You head to bed around 7:30 and sleep until about 7:30 or 8:00. You almost always take just an afternoon nap. It is usually from 1-3 or 1-4.
* You are very excited about coloring and aren't trying to eat the crayons as much as you used to, LOL! You are also beginning to show interest in playdough.
* You are so, so special to all of us. We can't imagine life without you and can't wait to see what exciting new things you will learn about in the upcoming year!
Love,
Mom and Dad
