2

What I love about our 2-year-old:

--As soon as our boy turned 2, it's like he had a vocabulary explosion. Just this past week he started using more sentences. The other day I said, "Do you want Mommy to read you the book?" And he responded, "No, Daddy read da book." I almost fell over! All of the sudden his two word phrases turned into sentences!

--He also began actually saying the names of animals instead of just saying the sounds of them. We were at Chick-fil-A and Callan said "cow." Gene and I looked at each other trying to figure out why hearing that word come out of his mouth sounded so strange. Then we realized it was because he's always only "mooed" when he saw a cow. All of the sudden, though, he started saying the full names of elephant and cow, two animals that he's only ever made the noise for before.

--I love how he enthusiastically throws his arms in the air after we pray at dinner and yells, "AMEN!"

--I also have to snicker when I put his food on his high chair and say, "Ok. We need to pray to Jesus now." and when he is really hungry and just wants to start eating he replies with, "No pray to Jesus."

--I love how he was so excited to eat his buffalo cake for his birthday that he grabbed the #2 candle that was sitting on top of it and took a bite out of it (it wasn't lit yet, thankfully)!

--He is so obsessed with animals that he saw some animal crackers on the table today and said "elephant." So I pulled out a random cracker and handed it to him, and he handed it back saying, "No. Elephant."

(birthday pics are coming...)
