the birthday boy.
just reading his new book with daddy.
and i think this is quite possibly my favorite photo EVER.
2 years.
at 9:37 pm today, our little o.bugs will officially turn two. (big sigh.) what an amazing and adventurous two years it has been.
heres the update:
-he is pretty much repeating everything that we say. and throwing out new words left and right.
-he has an entire stack of favorite books that we must read every single day.
-he repeats lots of phrases from his books. and even has a few lines memorized.
-when he gets embarassed, he closes his eyes really tight and pretends that you're not there.
-when gets upset, he puts his little hand over his face and pouts.
-he has a fantastic imagination. he can instantly turn pipe cleaners and strings into snakes. and baby monitors and temperate gauges into cell phones.
-he loves the little einsteins. and will sing and pat his hands along with the show.
-he is really interested in animals right now.
-he can tell you that a monkey says ooh ooh. a lion says roar. a mouse says squeak squeak. and a bird says tweet tweet.
-he can show you where his cheeks are.
-he loves to dance. especially to the theme song from the office.
-he loves to sing the wheels on the bus song.
-he is constantly asking for more snacks... more grapes, more cheese, more crackers.
-he sleeps with his monkey and all four of his ugly dolls every single night.
-he loves to help his mommy and daddy.
-he loves to go for rides in the car.
-he has figured out how to turn the knob to open the bathroom door. and totally abuses this new power.
-he has realized that his finger fits perfectly into his nose.
-and he loves to tickle us.
-some of the words + phrases we've heard this month: owen, ella, bowl, banana, grapes, cracker, lollipop, yum, blue, purple, yellow, green, zoom, pop, crash, helicopter, dinosaur, monster, circle, here you go, here it is, hello, and tickle tickle tickle.
-his favorite books this month: the very hungry catepillar, corduroy, curious george, stinky face, little white fish, dont let the pigeon stay up late, if you take a mouse to school, cows that type, wheres my mommy, and little pea.
-his favorite toys this month: his sprig discovery rig, his train, his b.ball hoop, his dr. kit, and his guitar.
