So, not only do we have a one-month old in the family, we have a TWO year old! Evan turned two last week, and I can't believe the time has passed so quickly. He definitely is a little boy now and no longer a baby. Before I know it he'll be starting school.
My little two-year old is quite a chatterbox. He repeats everything that he hears, and speaks in complete sentences. I used to turn on music on our car rides and enjoy the moments of peace. Now, we discuss everything that we pass by, especially construction vehicles and cows! Like any toddler he loves moving. He has become quite the runner and loved running away from me when I was pregnant and couldn't catch him, while laughing and saying "run away!" He is just about to master jumping with both feet. We took a gymnastics class where he learned to be quite the hanger. He loves anything that drives or has wheels. Evan also has his mother's stubborn streak. If he doesn't want to do something, you cannot convince him to do it no matter what you say. Potty training is one of those things he doesn't want to do right now, but he will begrudgingly go on the potty a few times a day in exchange for a sticker (a car sticker, of course). He's doing new things every day, and I can't wait to see what he does tomorrow!
We visited the doctor for his two-year appointment. He was pronounced in excellent toddler health, and the doctor was very pleased with his development in every area. He only had one shot, and he did very well with it. Although he did talk about the "poke" in his leg for the rest of the day. The one area that did make Mommy worry a little bit was his physical size. He's still small, in fact he's smaller for his age than he was at his last appointment. The doctor says that he most likely has "delayed bone age". All that means is that he'll be short, but he'll catch up a bit after everyone else has stopped growing. The doctor assured me it's not a big deal, but it's a mom's job to worry. Here are his latest statistics.
Weight: 23 lbs. (7th percentile)
Height: 31 inches (3rd percentile)
Head Circumference (Way over 100th percentile)
Happy birthday to my wonderful little boy!

He's a beautiful, smart boy! You are so blessed to have such wonderful, sweet children. Happy Birthday, Evan! Enjoy the world of a two year old!
Small but mighty -that's for sure. He is just about perfect, Katy. What a great kid! I'm highly prejudiced, but still - it can't be denied. It has been so much fun seeing his little personality develop and the verbal and learning explosion that has taken place. We are truly blessed!! Love, Mommie Dearest
He is a perfect boy that is for sure!
Love,
Gram
