Joshua is TWO. What?!

Time flies when you're having fun and now my little boy is two! It's unbelievable how quickly this growing up process is happening to my baby. I feel like I miss something every time I blink. Some mornings I'll wake up, always to him petting my face, handing me my glasses and saying 'All done night night!", and swear he's grown 5 inches over night. Joshua is a little bundle of crazy energy, some days I can hardly keep up with him but I don't know what I would do without him.

About Joshua at 2 years old:

He weighs 24 pounds and 11 ounces and is 33.5 inches tall. His pediatrician said that he is "small but healthy and bright."

He can:
*Count to 10
*Identify the colors green, blue, pink, purple, orange, and yellow

*Form sentences of 3-4 words 

*Put all the shapes on his board puzzle in the right spot

*Go #2 in the potty (We're still working on #1 but we are poop potty trained!)

He loves:
*Going to the park, mostly swinging and going down the slide

*Taking baths

*Reading books (He'll grab a book, give it to me and say, "Read a book to you?}

*Any fruit, mostly bananas and grapes

*Playing with his board puzzles, airplanes, trucks, blocks, and balls

*Playing at the "baby mall", watching the remote control airplane kiosk next to it, and riding the "ellalater" (escalator) 

*His puppy and "geekee" (blankie)

*Going on bike rides 

*Getting horsey rides from daddy and playing tigers with him.

*Playing with his big brother, he calls him T most of the time but has recently started trying to say Tarek. It comes out as Eric

*Watching Mickey Mouse and Curious George 

*Running and jumping and singing everywhere he goes

*Getting his teeth brushed

*Eating any form of noodle and eggs

He dislikes:

*Getting ready for bed

*Sleeping without "the milk" ("The milk" is what he calls nursing)

*When tv time is over

*Not being able to jump down our concrete stairs

*All veggies. (Unless they're sneakily hidden in smoothies) 

*When mommy or daddy have to leave without him

*When I wear my hair down. (He always points at my hair and says "put it up!" when it's down and he gets very upset if I don't put it up)

Here are some pictures of Joshua at 2 years old!

He saw a goose behind me was asking to "Be nice?" to it. His way of
asking to pet things.
