That Time Preston Turned 2...

I can't believe I have a 2 year old. 2 just seems so much older to me then 1. I'm already hearing warnings about the "terrible two's" but I think we're gonna be ok.

Preston's 2 Year Stats:
WEIGHT: 30.8- 90% (he's like a rock)

LENGTH: 35 3/4"- 90%

HEAD CIRC: 50 1/2"- 90% (has been since the womb) 

About Preston:

*He's become such a tease! He will do things like offer you a bite of his food and then at the last minute snatch it away and laugh. 

*Has somethings like 16 teeth? I think? It's a lot. And he'll show them to you if you ask. 

* Has really strange eating habits. For example- he prefers Corn Flakes over sugary cereals, Turkey Bacon over regular bacon and wont eat mashed potatoes but will eat mashed cauliflour. Weird!! 

*His favorite food I would say is chocolate milk, cheese in any form and yogurt. He still isn't a fan of meat, and we hide it in his food, but his iron levels are great & he eats a lot of eggs & peanut butter to make up for it. He is a GOOD eater. For example, he'll eat 3 pieces of pizza in a sitting, or 2 pb&j's and 2 packets of oatmeal. 

*He loves to do chores! His favorites are laundry, sweeping, dishes and vacuuming. I'm hoping it continues!
*Is obsessed with airplanes, helicopters, motorcycles, big trucks, basically anything loud. And in typical boy fashion whenever he plays with his cars or stuff at home he'll always make them explode. Everything ends with an explosion. In slow motion. 

*Babbles alllllllllllllll the time. He doesn't get frustrated if you don't understand him, he will just keep repeating the word over and over and over again until you repeat it back to him. But I think his vocabulary is getting better. 

*Knows his colors! Well, at least 75% of the time. . . 

*Still doesn't like to watch movies or shows, but will request that every day at lunch time I put on a show called Pingu (about a claymation penguin) and then he wants his plate put right in front of the tv. 

*He's very big on routine. If we do something one way once he wants it like that always. Example- he will want to sit in the same chair every time to color, or will want Jaxton to lay in a certain spot while we get Preston dressed, or if I ask if he wants me to hold him on the couch he wants to sit in a specific spot, with a blanket like we did once when it was cold and we were tired. 

*Wants so badly to be just like his Daddy. He wants to be right there in the morning with him putting on deodorant, brushing teeth, doing hair, shaving, brushing his beard... It's adorable.

 So big drinking his milk out of the bowl!!

 Notice the one sock on?? He always takes just one sock off or just one sock and shoe on and leaves the other. Not sure why.... He's also watching the Yule Log. He loves to build a fire in the fireplace.

 Constantly is in the pantry playing with the cans. In fact I think we now keep all of our tuna under the fridge.  He was stacking the cans one night and counting them and one time he actually got it right! "1-2-3-4". Of course it was just a fluke because the next time he did it his counting went something like "2-15-mama-2"

 LOVES to paint. Prefers it over coloring, although he is starting to like to color.

 Asks for Jimmy (or Gi-gi) at least once a day.
Loves him.

 He probably says the word "mama" hundreds of times a day. If I leave the room he will call for me over and over and over again.

 Loves our daily walks, and looking at the cars/trucks. If a garbage truck or motorcycle ("mo-ma") passes by he'll ask for more again and again.

 Our daily routine: Dressed, breakfast, dishes.

 Getting a card on his birthday made his day for a few days.

 BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

 We went to the Phoenix Children's Museum on his actual birthday and he had a blast!!! 

 Even got to ride a "Mo-ma". Sorry Preston, no motorcycles, family rule.

 He was so tired he fell asleep on the way home. See his soccer socks? He picked those out at the store because they were "gi-gi" socks.

 Playing in his new sandbox!!! Notice his Spongebob shirt? He's never watched an episode of Sponge bob but asks to wear that shirt just about every day.

Oh Preston, you are so big!!!!
