2 Years Old

I was looking back at some pictures from last year and realized how much Michael has grown in a year! I wanted to share some things that he's doing now - some things are new and some things have stayed the same for a while. I just want to remember this stage of Michael's life and things that he enjoyed!
At 2 years old, Michael....
-weighs 24 pounds (8th percentile...I promise we feed him!) and is 34 inches tall (45th percentile)
-wears a size 4 diaper
-loves coloring and especially drawing basketballs
-sleeps about 12 hours every night - I am SO thankful! In the summer he's been sleeping from 10 pm-10 am.... So nice for his mama that loves to sleep as well!
-eats oatmeal just about every morning for breakfast
-has a sweet tooth that he inherited from Mommy
-loves to jump...on the ground, off of high things...anything! This is another post for another day...
-has really developed his basketball skills. He's pretty impressive!
-enjoys watching SuperWhy and Elmo on TV
-just developed a love for Thomas the Train, which he affectionately calls "Choo Choo Cain"
-has learned to "fist pump" when a fast song comes on the radio
-loves to play in the water - he asks to put his "feet in wawa" and splash!
-is pretty good at cleaning up after himself, especially when you sing the clean up song
-enjoys singing "Twinkle Twinkle", "Zacchaeus", and "Skiddamarink-a-dinky-dink"
-almost has "Goodnight Moon" and "I Love You Through and Through" committed to memory
-loves any sport that involves a ball - basketball, baseball, football, soccer, kickball, golf...etc!
I love watching him grow and change. I miss his baby phase, but I am so looking forward to what is yet to come in Michael's life! He has brought so much joy and FUN to our lives! Thank you, God, for letting us raise him and giving the wisdom we need as parents!
