2 Years Old!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Jack turned 2!  Here's what our big guy is up to:

*He likes to try to get himself dressed.  He gets very impatient with us if we try to help.  Many times he tells us "go" when he wants to do it himself.  He is very good at putting his sandals on all by himself.

*He can be very stubborn and has some whopper 2-year old tantrums when he doesn't get his way.  We've learned to leave him alone until it passes.

*He is talking so much more!  Seems like overnight he has picked up a ton of words.  He tries to repeat new words after us and before we know it he's saying it regularly. 

*He started to throw a fit when we put him in his high chair, so he's now officially eating at the table with us in a booster seat.

*He seems to have hit a growth spurt and has shot from 18 month to 24/2t clothes overnight!  His feet have also grown to a size 6.

*He loves farm animals.  He points them out to us when we're in the car by making their noises.

*He loves trucks and tractors.  He's quick to point them out whenever he sees them.

*He still takes an afternoon nap, but I'm cutting them short as he's been staying up till 9:30 or 10:00 sometimes when he sleeps much more than an hour and a half.

*He moved to his first big boy bed.  The first night was a bit trying as he made a game of getting out of bed.  However, after closing the door completely (Hannah usually likes it open a crack), he climbed back into bed and fell asleep!  So far he's been sleeping well on it for his nap as well.
