Mmmm....eatin' on cookies.Before we know it, our little baby boy will turn 2! We can hardly believe the past two years have gone by so quickly, and as we embark on this New Year, we can wait to see what is in store for our family.
We are so excited that JR is turning into such a big boy! Still a bit slow to talk, he uses sign language and expressions, plus says typical words like mama, dad, dog, bird, tree, yes, no...you get the picture. We'll be fighting quite a battle when it comes time to say "adios" to his pacifier.
He is very funny and very physical. He throws and catches, and kicks balls like a pro. He tackles and understands football and basketball games. He loves to laugh and be silly. He remains short and stocky....come on, Daddy, where are those tall genes??
JR is a super sweet boy. He gives kisses and hugs and says hi and bye to everyone in a room (including inanimate objects). He LOVES to read, bath time, and sleeps with his most treasured Taggie ball.
JR sleeps and eats like a champ, although sometimes he is hit with a nightmare that really shakes him up (that happened this morning). He is more interested in figuring out how toys work that the toy itself, and he's never in trouble at school.
The next few months we'll watch him develop leaps and bounds with language, hopefully grow taller and move through year two with (fingers crossed) grace and good behavior.
Happy 2010!

What a great description of a wonderful young fellow. If we could all take a little more of JR's approach to life we would be better for it! Live, learn, laugh and love!
What a great little guy !Ganz/Nana
what a cutie! as for the paci parting... are are currently battling that. we started not buying anymore and now we're down to 2. since she was losing them at a rate of 2/week - it was the only thing to do - and now we have the rule that she can only have them at sleep times (nap or night). she's fairly okay with it unless something traumatic happens but she still asks for it daily. i just laugh and remind her that it's only for bed time - and now she loves getting ready for bed and nap time more than ever. we just started in a daybed this week (part of the baby prep phase one) and so far so good. she sleeps (still with the paci) and makes no attempt to get up and wander. good luck with the paci - i'll be jealous if you get rid of them before we do.
