Griffy

No pics to post but we finally went for our 2 year checkup today and I have his stats....

23 lbs 5 oz- 5th percent!!! WOOHOO! Finally on the charts, although she insisted that we'll never be off Pediasure....

34.5 inches tall- 4oth percent. I knew he was getting tall!

He's behind on getting his teeth- just finishing his canines and no molars yet.

Yesterday I was feeding him breakfast- french toast sticks which he loves. He wouldn't eat them whole, so I cut them up. Well, he wasn't going to touch them. I picked one up and forced it in his mouth and he pushed it out about 5 times screaming before he finally ate it. About a minute later I looked at him and said, "So you can take a bite or I can make you take another one. What's it going to be?" By God, he picked a piece up and ate it. There was a LOT of cheering. The rest of breakfast played out the same way and he ate about 1 and 1/2 sticks. Today I've been using the same tactic. He tells me he's done and I say, "Either you can take another bite or I can make you." He picks it up with a smile and eats it. I hope this continues.

Just the last 2 weeks he's added in his "me's and you's" to his speech. ("Help me," "Hold you") This was one of the only things he didn't have at his Parents as Teachers eval. He talks a TON for a boy. Pretty much constantly understandable and even Molly can understand him, so it must be pretty good! He's generally a happy and very enjoyable little boy, although I do believe the terrible two's have started. He will scream and scream if he doesn't get what he wants....it's awesome.

He's still in his crib and will be until his feet are hanging off the end of it if I have anything to say about it! We'd had Mira in two different beds by this point! Sooner or later he'll be climbing out and we'll have to take the rail off...

We are working on colors, although not very hard....he sometimes knows blue, purple, and red. I figure he'll get the rest eventually!

Yes, we are still obsessed with cars. Cars everything. At least it's not Thomas where the trains are 20 bucks a piece!

He loves to sing. Fav songs- Happy Birthday, Dinah, Twinkle Twinkle, How much is that puppy in the Window, Jesus loves Me.
That's all for now!
