31 months, 7 days

That is is how old my sweet baby boy is today. I wish I could have kept up with posting on regular interval but life takes over and you just have to accept it. So I figured today was as a good a day as any to post about my little handsome.

Dear E,

It is still hard for me to imagine you are over 2.5 years old but at the same time I can hardly remmeber the days when you weren't here.  You are fully of energy and personality.

STATS:
Height-38 inches tall
Weight- 32 lbs
Clothing Size- Mostly 3T is all tops, 3T in bottoms only if the waist band is adjustable and only for length, other wise if is 2Ts for your narrow waist
Shoe Size- 9.5 and moving towards a size 10
You are shaped just like your daddy, long and tall. Seeing you two walk side by side makes be chuckle because you look like a mini version of your daddy.

Likes:

Some of your Favorite Food- TJs Cereal Bars (every morning! ), Fruit- Apples, Grapes, Cantelope, Pears, Honeydew, Blueberries, Bananas just to name a few, You love breakfast foods-Eggs, Bacon, Oatmeal, Pancake, Waffles, French Toast, Yogurt, Cereal, Spaghetti is your favorite meal, Peanut Butter Sandwiches are the perfect lunch, and of course the typical toddler favs like pizza, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, and frend fries. Still not real vegetables will cross you lips unless it is in a pouch...we are working on that!
   -Now when we go to Five Guys, you almost demand your own burger so mama is saving calories while fighting for her burger.
   -You love to "dip" you foods. You love the spicy Italian olive oil dip at Carrabas.
   - Mama has put her love for chips on you. Sometimes we have a "chip picnic" on the family room floor after work where we eat regular chips and dip.
*You are pretty good eater and we are working to expand your palate. Mama and daddy work hard to ensure that if you are eating "toddler" food they are of good quaility, whole grain, etc.

Acttivities: Playing outside is stll number 1-riding bikes, digging in dirt, blowing bubbles, running and more running, playing with trains is a daily occurance, racing cars of all shapes and sizes, trucks are awesome and can be used for transporting things, and building with blocks or Legos is awesome. We do a lot of reading as well and have expanded your books beyond board books. We do allow you to watch some TV and it is limited to SPROUT or PBS. Without a doubt your favorite show is Caliou and you ask to watch it often.  You love doing crafts, coloring, and painting which keeps mama busy for ideas on Pinterest!

Your vocabulary has expanded so much over the past 6 months. We love hearing all your new phrases and you can mimic just about any word/sound. You love going to your playschool class on Friday and the teachers compliment us on your manners and development. You are already signed up for two days in the Fall.

I could probably go one forever about all the cool things you do and say but I will wrap it by saying, you are an amazing child who has brought us more joy than we could imagine. I love you to the moon and back.
