Reflections on milestones
I feel quite a bit guilty that I haven't kept up with the baby book. I had kept weekly updates of John's progress for this first three months or so, then I starting jotting things on the calendar until about a year or so and I've trailed off since then. As my little boy enters his third year of life, I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on some of his milestones at this point.
Random thoughts that I can look back on - maybe I'll be good enough to print this post for his baby book!
John at 2 years old, my sweet little boy:
Approximately 25 lbs, wears a size 5 shoe
Knows all of his ABC's, can visually name many of the letters and supply words that start with those letters
Knows his right hand from his left most of the time.
Starting potty training, with some great early success!
Loves Little Bear on Noggin
Favorite foods are blueberries, steak, pears and Teddy Grahams
Favorite song is Old McDonald (the yi-yo song as it called, for the e-i-e-i-o)
Has started to tell us stories, the greatest little tales of imagination and creativity. A recent one was how our cat was going to ride his motorcycle to the store to get bread to make Mommy a sandwich.
Speaks in 5-6 word sentences, verbalizes just about everything
Knows most colors
Loves to draw and color, especially with Mommy's pen if one is found!
Loves to stack books, taking them off the shelf one by one and piling them up
Loves to snuggle/huggle, laugh, jump in puddles and sing
My sweet little guy. He continues to astound me with his smile, his stories, his capacity to love and bring joy. My sweet little boy, my heart, my love.

-- 5 EE no less! :)
It's hard to keep up with the milestones, isn't it? Now I understand why my little brothers' baby books were nearly empty....
It sounds like Ben and John have a lot in common! Too bad you can't come over for a play date.
