Nolan Patrick...2 years

I can't believe my little man is 2 years old already! Seems like just yesterday you were my big chunky baby that wouldn't leave my side. Now you are Mr. Independent and aren't as much of a mama's boy as you used to be:( You have really taken to your daddy since mommy is busy with Braelyn a lot now - You have changed so much over the past few months, it's just crazy.

Here is what's going on with you these days...
At your 2 year apt you weighed 34.4lbs (97%) and were 37 3/4 inches (99%) tall!
You are wearing 3T clothing. You always want your shoes and shirt off and are running around in just your shorts and diaper the majority of the summer...little hillbilly! As for shoes, your in a wearing a 7 or 8, bigfoot! You still hate for your feet to be touched and it's a fight to get anywhere near your toenails to cut them!

You are in size 6 diapers. I don't see any potty training in the near future, but you are interested in the big boy potty and tell me when you poop...you even sit on it every now and then but nothing yet. You are definitely not a good eater for me...you are way too busy and wild to sit at the table, however, Miss Patty says that you eat like a pig at her house, so I try not to stress about it too much. Your absolute favorite food is "moot snacks" (fruit snacks). You are ALWAYS asking for these!

 

You're still obsessed with anything sports related...and you have become quite the Cardinals fan, which makes me happy! You love anything truck and tractor related and you love playing in the water, but would much rather be in your kiddy pool than in our big pool. I'm hoping this changes next summer.

You absolutely love your little sister. You are always talking to her and kissing her and making sure she is okay, and don't seem to even be jealous of her - which really surprised me. And she just adores you and smiles at you when she sees you!

Your vocabulary continues to amaze me! It's crazy that I can have full adult conversations with my 2 year old - and your imagination cracks me up! You always have 'stories' to tell me and are making stuff up all the time! Definitely entertaining!

You're sleeping in a full size bed now and we have NO PACI'S!! woo who!

I love you to pieces, but sometimes, child, you can wear me thin. These 2 year old tantrums are at their WORST right now. I'm hoping they get better with time, however, I've heard 3's are even worse. We have spanked your butt a handful of times and put you in timeout, but nothing seems to phase you. You are SO strong-willed and hard headed...kinda like your mama I guess :/

When you aren't having a fit - you are such a little sweetheart! You love to snuggle and give kisses and are just full of spunk, smiles and giggles.

The past two years have just flown by and I love you more and more everyday, you make life so fun (and busy!) and I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you little monkey!
