Aiden Turns 2

Yesterday was Aiden's two year old well child visit to the pediatrician.  As of today, here are his stats:

Weight:   27pounds, 2 ounces (54th percentile)

Height: 33.5" (18th percentile)
Head Circumference: 19cm (50th percentile)

 

 

Here are some of the things that amaze me about my son right now:

• Loves his "ga-ga".  He has been known to carry several around at one time.  The "Binky Fairy" visited last night to replace his ga-ga's with a baby.  The first night without his ga-ga was rough, but he eventually calmed down and fell asleep. 
• Like to build and construct things.  Building a castle with his sister is one of his favorite activities.
• Like to be "up" in someone's arms which Mommy still loves as she cannot believe that you are no longer her little baby boy.
• Loves any kind of ball.  He will kick them, throw them and chase after them all day long.
• He is a great eater.  In fact, he has been known to eat up to four mini burritos or three hot dogs in a single meal.
• He is a good helper at preschool.  They just adore him.
• His vocabulary is becoming more extensive and he had started creating two to three word sentences.  Me ball.  Me book.  Thank you.
• He enjoys reading time.
• Says "no" to everything, even if he means yes.
• Starting to become very curious about the potty.
• He loves songs -- dancing to songs, singing songs.  His favorite song to sing right now is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".
• His favorite words are "No" and "Why?"
• He, like his sister, loves shoes.  He wants to pick out his own shoes every morning before preschool. 
• Aiden is a wonderful little brother.  He is a great playmate for his sister and will often allow her to be the boss most of the time.
• Aiden's favorite color is purple.  Everything must be purple or he will not wear it, drink from it, play with it, etc.
• He is quite the little swimmer.  He loves swimming in Grandma and Grandpa Farrell's pool with the "bubbles".
• He loves bubbles of any kind -- in the pool, in the bathtub, to blow.  He gets super excited about them shrieking "Bubbles, bubbles".
• He, unlike his sister, loves to have his pictures taken saying "Cheese!"
