B and J::2 years

I've already gave my "can not believe they are 2 years speech" so I will refrain from another one ;)

Brecken::

-29lbs 2ozs, 65th percentile

-34 3/4in tall, 62nd percentile

-head is in the 81st percentile

-2T clothes

-size 6/7 shoe

-you are my best sleeper.  I have all great sleepers.  But you are the best.  You sleep from 7:30-8:30 every night and still take a 2-3 hour nap.  You rarely wake up at night and when you do, it's usually because Joelle woke you up.

-You are an EXCELLENT eater.  You eat pretty much everything but you usually save your veggies for last.

-You officially have 16 of your teeth.

-You only get your paci when you sleep.  We took away the car pacis..and the church pacis!

-You love, love, love to read.  All three of you love to read.

-Your favorite toys are trucks/cars/balls.  

-You love to torment Adelyn.  You know just what to do to push her buttons.  You will steal her stuff and then run away and laugh.  

-Ask "why?" non.stop.

-If you can't see Jojo you always ask where she is "Where's Jojo? Where's Jojo?"  So cute.

-You give the bestest hugs.  You can be pretty stingy with your (open mouthed) kisses.

-You are starting to talk more and more.  You will repeat quite a few words, say quite a few and are getting really good at 2-3 word sentences.

-Have zero clue what the ABC's are and you can forget counting or colors.

-You are a maniac.  That's all.  Simply a maniac.  Stitches waiting to happen.  You shut your ear in the door yesterday.  Seriously.  Your ear.

-We realized the other day that the "ringworm" on your back (that was diagnosed and treated by a doctor) was actually a bite mark from Joelle.  She bites her hand sometimes and I saw a perfect broken circle on her hand, the other day.  She has a couple teeth on the bottom that are super close together, her top two are very spaced and the rest are normal.  Hence the "ringworm" not really looking like a typical tooth pattern.

Adelyn at 2 years

Joelle::

-30lbs 2ozs, 87th percentile

-35.5in, 90th percentile

-head is in the 87th percentile

-size 7 shoe

-size 2T clothes

-You are my worst sleeper.  Sometimes you sit in your bed and just yack your fool head off.  It's only happened once but you were awake until 10:00 just talking.  Never crying.  Sometimes you will wake earlier in the morning.  Luckily you will (still) happily stay in your crib until Brecken wakes up.

-You could easily be our co-sleeper.  The only one of our children who would want to be.

-You have all your teeth.

-You are obsessed with your paci.  Just obsessed.  You only get it when you sleep but you ask about it all.the.time.  Taking it away should be fun.  NOT.

-You LOVE to eat.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.  If any type of meat is on the menu, you devour that first.  I was SO surprised that you were actually 2ozs less than Adelyn was at 2 years.  You seem huge to me, compared to Brecken.

-You have officially learned "B" and "Adelyn's" name.  Adelyn sounds like A-yen..which is pretty much how every other 2/3 year old says it.  You ask about them allllll the time.

-Once you hit 2 your speech took off.  You are still behind Brecken and waayyy behind where Adelyn was.  But, per usual, we just have to bring something up as a concern and you will do it.

-You missed two of the milestones at the doctors office.  I had to fill out an autism checklist (normal 2 year visit protocol) and you missed jumping and kicking a ball.  You started jumping the next day.

-You love to read.  You could just sit and read forever.  If nobody bothered you.

-You are the sassiest little thing ever.  I fear for when you are a little bit older.  In my oh so many experiences when children are 2 they just cry, when they are 3 they can communicate (WELL) and that begins the serious problems.

-You could be potty trained very easily.  You tell us every time you poop and occasionally when you go potty.  Too bad I'm waiting until summer to try again.

-You love to give kisses.

-Your favorite toys are your baby dolls and your animals. You are obsessed with both.

-You have started a terrible Mommy obsession lately.  You used to not care who you got.  Now its "No! Mommy!"  Meaning if anyone tries to hold you...it has to be me.

-You love to laugh...and have the cutest little laugh ever.
