TWO YEARS!!

Wyatt,

Our sweet, precious Wyatt. Where has all the time gone baby boy? It's so hard for me to believe that you're now a two year old. Even though you'll always be my baby, I feel like now you're really not a baby; you're now officially becoming a little boy. You are so independent and have really gotten into a phase where you enjoy doing everything on your own. You have also become so affectionate. You will run up and give kisses without prompting, and you love to hug me from behind if I'm sitting down. We love you, and the little boy you're becoming!  Happy birthday, baby!

  What you did this month:

• You weigh 30 pounds and are about 36 inches tall.

• You are wearing size 6 diapers.
• You wear size 24M/2T in pants and 2T/3T in shirts and pajamas.

• Your favorite foods right now are turkey (lunch meat), bread, Nature Valley breakfast bars, and Go-gurt, but you'll eat just about anything we put in front of you.

• You usually wake up between 7:30 & 8, take a nap around one for about 2.5 hours, and go down at night around 8.

• You can say "mou" (which could be music, Mickey Mouse, Mimi, movie, basically all of your favorite things start with 'm'), "mowr" (more), "where'ditgo" (Where'd it go?), "go", "dat" (that or cat), "jew" (juice), "no", "uh-oh", "what'sat?" (what's that), "dow" (down),  "yeth"/"ya" (yes), "where did dey do?" (Where did they go?), "det do" (let's go), "no'kyou" (no thank you), "go, go" (Paw Patrol), "wee, weeeee"(which can also mean swing), "there ya' go" (used in place of thank you or when he gets something he wants), "I go", "we go", "co" (cold), "hmmm, let's see", "sthick" (music)

• 18(ish) teeth...I'm pretty sure you're teething now but I'm not sure which teeth are coming in; they're in the back.

• You can point to your nose, mouth, eyes, ears, bellybutton, hair, feet, teeth, and hands on command.
• You are starting to make more sounds. Cat (mow), duck (cack, cack), elephant, car (vroom), train (woo-woo)  
• You have started copying what we say more. My favorite is hearing you try and sing your ABCs.
• You automatically start dancing when you hear music, which means you start jumping in circles. If we're in the car then you clap your hands.

• You are getting really good at putting on your own clothes. You can put pajama pants and socks on. You also love to wear your hat...and it's usually crooked.

• You had a couple of days this month where I thought you were potty training yourself. It only lasted a few days and I didn't push it beyond that. We'll really focus on it in a couple of weeks, if you're ready.
• You absolutely love to be in the car. You'll pretty much do anything if it means you get to go in the car.
• We celebrated Easter this month and you really got into Easter egg hunts. And you really enjoyed the gifts you received in your Easter basket.
• We started attending church again this month and you have done great in the nursery! It really helps that it's in the same room as your MDO class.
• Your daddy and I took you to the Museum of Discovery for your birthday and you loved it! You really just enjoyed running around, and we liked that there wasn't anything there for you to break.
