Happy 2nd Birthday Benjamin!


Happy 2 years sweet boy!  To say the past 24 months have flown by would be an understatement.   You are our greatest joy and we love you infinity times infinity!

Your stats... You are 34.5 inches tall and weigh 30.5 pounds.  Which is 60% for height and 75% for weight.

You eat... everything and will try anything!  You are still not the biggest fan of breakfast but we will keep working on that!  Some other food loves include rice and beans, popsicles, chips, chili cheese  hot dogs, cantaloupe, sandwiches, and of course the always favorite cupcakes and ice cream!

This is a typical day in the life of you at 2 years old Benjamin... When you wake up in the morning I get you out of your crib and you come back to momma and daddy's bed for some morning snuggles and your beloved milk.  Half of the time you will drift off back to sleep for another hour or so and then up for good around 8:30-9ish.  You are the sweetest cuddle in the morning and these are some of my favorite moments together.  Just the other day when you woke up I asked your if you knew what today was and you said "I don no" and I said "Today is your birthday!" then you said "I need cake momma!"  The sweetest most funny little boy I know!!  After morning snuggles and laughed we get up and have breakfest and get ready for the day.  Depending on what is our on schedule we will either head out for errands, playdates, soccer practice, appointments or if we can we will just hang out and play at home!  Then have lunch around noon, then afternoon nap for you around 2.  You usually sleep anywhere between 1-1.5 hours (yes still a short napper) then back to your favorite... PLAYING!  We will usually play outside and or go for a walk to the park and or mailbox and then around 5ish start getting dinner ready for 6pm.  Then we play a little more then off to bath before daddy gets home.  Once daddy walks in the door you are all about playing with him which gives me a little time to pick up the house and do my evening chores around the house.  They love and sweet relationship you and your daddy have is one that brings joy to my heart everyday.  He is your hero and it is a pleasure watching you two together.  Then around 8:30 is it off to your bedroom for book and night night!  You love your crib and ask to go to sleep when you are finished reading and are tired which is typically around 8:45.  You are one passionate, loving, caring, compassionate, brilliant, polite, independent, self aware, stubborn, fierce, talkative, handsome, perfect and hilarious little boy that we are so proud to call ours!

Your daddy still makes you laugh the hardest, but you are still a momma boy at heart!  Your 1,000+ word vocabulary is expanding so fast.  You repeat and remember everything!  It amazes us everyday the things that come our of your little mind!  One thing that is new is your nac for negating and reasoning... we will have to keep a close finger on this one!!!  You are like a sponge and you pick up new things everyday!  I am soooo incredibly proud to be your momma and love teaching you new things and seeing you explore everyday.
