I can't believe you are 2! When did that happen? I'm a little late writing this letter because there has been a lot going on. You are about to become a big brother and we are in the process of building a new house (and selling the old house, and living in an apartment in the meantime).
You have changed and grown so much this year, that I'm sure I will leave something out, but I will do my best.
- You now have all of your baby teeth, except for your two year molars. You tend to go through a biting phase while you are teething - not fun! :)
- You dropped down to one nap not too long after your first birthday. Bedtime is 8:00-8:30pm and we taught you that if the clock doesn't say 7:00 you go back to sleep. You don't usually go back to sleep, but you play happily in your crib until at least 7:00 (it seems like you usually wake up between 6:30 and 7:00. Nap time is between 1:00-1:30 and you usually sleep about 2 hrs, but sometimes 3 hrs!
- You were able to jump with both feet coming off the ground before you were 18 months old.
- You love to play with balls. You are an excellent roller, thrower, kicker and goalie. We're working on catching. You got a basketball goal for your 2nd birthday and you are already making baskets.
- Looking back on your vocabulary at 1 year, I don't even know where to begin... You speak in sentences now. I couldn't even guess how many words you say now. You recognize all of your letters (capital and lowercase) and know what sound each of them make. Some of the words you can spell now include Bryson, Daddy, Gavin, stop, go, cat, dog, end, red...
- You recognize your numbers and can count to 20. You are even recognizing and correctly identifying 2 digit numbers. You love looking at digital clocks and reading the number, then saying what will come next. This is usually how it goes: "What's it say now? 8:24. What's next? 8:25..."
- You constantly amaze us by what you learn and what you are able to figure out. You have learned our phone number twice (we had to get a new one when we moved). You know the address (numbers) for our apartment, Grams and Gramps, Nana and Pawpaw, and Uncle Jason and Aunt Nikki.
- You have a great sense of humor and a wonderful smile. You like to smile at people when we are out and about and you are quite the flirt.
- You are generally well-behaved, listen well and make good choices - but you are two, so obviously, you have your moments ;) I think God give us those moments to remind us how lucky we are that you are usually so easy!!
- We had the family over for your birthday party. We had a Sesame Street theme and you had a blast, but you got sick before you could eat your cake :( You are rarely sick and it was a little scary for us to see you suddenly not feeling well at all.
- You still love to swing and go for walks :) We will miss the trails and the creek by the old house, but we will be near a park with trails at the new house.
- In the past year, we've been to the Waco Zoo, Sea World and visited a fire station. You were Cookie Monster for Halloween.
- Your favorite toys are balls, blocks and books.
We love you, Boogie! You are going to be an awesome big brother and I can't wait to see what year 3 brings!! There are a lot of changes coming - baby brother, big boy bed, potty training, a new house - and I know you will take them all in stride!
