At 2 years old, Mr. Gavin...
Weighs 31 lbs
Is 36.5" tall
Sleeps all night! Usually goes down between 7:30-8:30 and sleeps in til anywhere between 5:30-7:30, usually closer to 7:30.
Still in a crib - he hasn't tried climbing out once, so for now we are keeping him there!
Talks - ALOT! He can repeat almost anything and even says a few short sentences. His pediatrician was so impressed with his talking, said she would guess him to be closer to 3 based on that! Jeez, wonder where he gets that from? :)
LOVES to dance - I'm sure you've all seen the videos by now.
Has a few favorite songs - he has one word names for all the songs he likes, and requests them frequently.
Loves monsters - likes to go around the house with Daddy looking for them.
Knows that Starbucks = coffee. We drive by and he says "coffee!" - that's how mommy knows she is addicted.
Loves food! This kid will eat almost anything. He really loves fruit and grapes are his current obsession. Sad news though - found out that he is highly allergic to peanuts, and mildly allergic to cows milk and egg whites. Booo! Sure hoping he grows out of that. For now, we will carry an epi-pen with us everywhere we go.
Has gone poopy in the big boy potty 3 times now! I don't think he's quite ready to full on attempt potty training, but we have the little toilet and training pants when he's ready!
Little man definitely has a stubborn side (hmm...sounds familiar) - and really loves to test to see just what he can get away with. Time out has become our new friend. Lucky for us, when he is getting upset or knows he is doing something he shouldn't be doing, he will go and put himself in his time out spot. And when we put him there, he actually stays. He will usually cry and scream but eventually calms down and says "all done".
I could go on forever about this little guy - but those are just a few of the highlights at 2. Everyday is a new experience and he really does change or do something new on a daily basis. I am so blessed to be his mommy!
