2 Years Old!

Two. Years. Old.  Really?!  It is so hard to believe that our baby boy is already TWO!  Where did the time go?!!?  I am so thankful for the blessing that Watson is and for the joy he brings to our family!


Here are a few things about Watson right now...

- Shy in public
- LOVES giving hugs and kisses, kisses, kisses


- We are working on his speech every day.  We had a speech eval with Alabama Early Intervention to see if he qualified for speech therapy.  He did not qualify, though, so although I was so proud of him, I was also hoping we could get him some help.  We may still look in to some private therapy sessions.  He is definitely talking, and we are hearing more from him every day, but his pronunciation is very lax, and he will ONLY talk at home.  I am proud of how far he has come, though, and believe that he will be just fine and talking non-stop before we know it!


- Would rather play with doors, locks, light switches...anything he can manipulate with his hands...over any toy most of the time


- Loves trains, little cars and trucks...especially if they make noise or have little doors he can open and shut


- He loves mommy, but is all about some daddy these days!  


- He is hit or miss when it comes to eating...sometimes he will eat whatever I put in front of him, but other times is incredibly picky and will live off of a cracker for the day
- Has a huge sweet tooth...definitely got this from his Daddy! 
- OBSESSED *understatement* with Veggie Tales.  "Laaarwy" (Larry) is what I hear all. day. long!
- Loves his little sister so much and is incredibly protective over her. 


- All boy.  He is rough, loves to be outside, could care less about being dirty, is loud, and hilarious :)

- He is obedient, most of the time :)  He is great about staying close by when we are in a parking lot, by the car, or out in public. 


- Eating out is a bit more difficult with him right now.  He refuses to sit in high chairs, but climbs in and out of regular chairs the entire meal.  It works best when we get a booth and trap him in! 


- He loves soap...whether it's washing his hands in the sink. or bathing in the tub...he wants to take an active role in it all.  "More soap peease"


- Does great drinking out of a regular cup.  We still use sippy cups most of the time, but just because he can take them around the house without spilling them.


- Still uses his paci when in bed, but has gotten pretty good about not having it during the day.  He never has it in public, but sometimes it saves my sanity in the car.  Sometimes I can only take one screaming baby at a time :)
- Has to have about 15 things in bed with him for every nap and bed time. 


- Is showing small signs of potty-training readiness...but we definitely aren't there yet.  He will say "I go potty" before bath time, but he will sit up there for 2 seconds, say "all done" then flush.  I think he mainly just wants to flush it..and thinks he has to sit on the potty in order to flush.  We will go down this road soon...but not yet...


- This boy can throw a tantrum like none other :)  I will say it is much better than last month, thankfully, but we are still working on this. 


- He is getting better with sharing...again, still a work in progress, but much better!
