Visiting with Santa

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus tonight.  I was SUPER excited to go see him, but once it was my turn to go up and sit in his lap, I didn't want to.  I cried a lot, but at least Mommy and Daddy were able to tell Santa what I wanted for Christmas.

2 Year Old Photo Book

This is the book that I gave to my grandparents and aunt and uncles for Christmas.  These pictures were from my 2 year old photo shoot at Joyner Park.

New Daycare Room

Today is my first day in my new 2 year old daycare room.  I am really excited to meet all my new friends, but will miss all the boys in my last room (all 7 of us were boys)!  I am sure Mommy will get some pictures from my new room soon so keep checking back!  Wish me luck!

2 Year Old Doctor Appointment

There is no picture to go with this post, but today Mommy took me to my 2 year old doctor's appointment.  I was actually pretty excited to go because I got to see Dr. Ercolino!  He always plays with me in the room and lets me play with his doctors' tools.

When we first got there I had to see the nurse.  She took me weight, height and head circumference   Here are those numbers.

Weight - 28 lb, 9 oz which is 65 percentile

Height - 33.5 in which is 15 percentile

Head Circumference - 48 cm which is 40 percentile

Dr. Ercolino came in next and talked a lot with Mommy, but he said all wonderful things about me!  He said I was developing right on track with everything!  Mommy asked if it was ok for me to try peanut butter now (Mommy is allergic) and he said yes.  By the way - I tried it once we were home today and did not like it.  After he talked a bit more the nurse came back and she had shots!  Not my favorite thing at all!  I only had to get 2, but I am here to tell you that they HURT and yes I did cry!  Once Mommy calmed me down, we packed up all of our things and headed home.  I do not have to go back until I turn 3 for another check up!  Woohoo - that means no more shots for a while!

Some fun facts

Mommy wanted me to write a few fun facts about myself so here it goes:

*I love being 2 years old and all the fun things that go with it!
*I love to run and love to make Mommy and Daddy run with me.  We usually run in circles in the family room and kitchen.
*When I want you for something, I grab your hand or finger and take you to it.
*I also point a lot when I want something and do not know the word for it.
*I love any kind of ball and throwing them (usually overhand, but I also side arm throw).  I usually throw with my right arm, but can throw pretty good with my left arm too.
*I am starting to kick balls and trying to jump (I have not mastered that one quite yet).
*I love going up and down stairs.  I enjoy walking down the stairs on my own and holding onto the rail.  Sometimes I still turn onto my belly though and slide down the stairs really fast!
*I can now open any door handle which makes me feel like such a big kid!  Mommy and Daddy have been locking doors a lot more lately.
*I sit at my own table to eat using my fork (sometimes a still use my hand though) and spoon.  I also drink out of an open cup.
*My favorite foods right now are ravioli, fruit loops, pineapple, salmon, cheese and strawberry yogurt.
*I am now drinking 2% milk and like it (I especially like it when Daddy sneaks chocolate syrup into my milk) and I love a juice box.
*I can point to different body parts when asked (head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, ears, hands, fingers, elbow, belly button, belly, bottom, knees, feet, toes).
*I smile and laugh all the time!
*I love taking a bath.
*I brush my own teeth (somewhat) and love toothpaste!
*I'm not sure exactly how many teeth I have right now, but I will be going back to the dentist soon.
*I like hiding things, but usually can remember where I put them when asked.
*My favorite tv shows are Mickey Mouse and Little Einsteins.
*My favorite movies are Cars, Mater Tales, and all three Madagascar's.
*I love playing on the i Pad.  My favorite game is Lunch Box Monkey and Animal Wheel.
*I am beginning to really like trains (or choo choos).
*I love to talk!  I usually repeat everything at least twice if not three times each time.
*I am saying two words together consistently.
*I am beginning to say sounds when playing with cars, trains, and animals.
*My favorite words are Mama, Dada, uh-oh, more, run, two, mop, me, yay.
