Monday, the 28th, our biggest little guy turned 2 1/2! I know I say this with every milestone, but I can't believe how fast the time has gone. **I have tried to post this since last week, but Owen wouldn't cooperate to take a decent picture, so here's what we we have.**
His stats (measured by me, since there is no doctor's checkup)
Weight: 32.5 pounds
Height: can't keep him still long enough

Height: can't keep him still long enough
He is:
-wearing 2T/3T tops and 2T bottoms for the most part
-no where close to potty training, so he's now up to size 5 diapers
My friend Courtney uses this form and I really like it so here is Owen in a nutshell.

Enjoys: reading books, anything Curious George, watching Daddy play t
he Wii, digging in the sand at the park
Turn Offs: being told no, having to wait his turn, having to clean up his toys
Strengths: good problem solver, can entertain himself, shares well with others
Vices: temper tantrums, bites anything around when he gets really angry, doesn't listen very well

Favorites:
Foods: honestly the kid eats everything we put in front of him... so thankful for a kid who eats so well and so healthy. His favorites though are cottage cheese, Papa cheese (old fashioned hoop cheese from Smith's Red and White in Dortches), bananas, and peanut butter/honey sandwiches.

Songs: Mommy's silly songs she makes up to get him to do things, like brush his teeth
Shows: Curious George, Cat and the Hat knows Alot about ThatBooks: Again Curious George (we have to read one at every bed time/nap time), Cat and the Hat
Toys: tool box, guitar, his play kitchen and food
Activities: transferring these from one thing to another, coloring, playing play dough, digging in the sand at the park, Mr. Potato Head
Person: He is definitely a daddy's boy. He does the cutest dance and song when Jeremy gets home from work everyday. He wants his daddy more than anybody. Honorable mentions: Papa, Katie, and Samuel.

Language:
His speech is improving daily. He is saying more two word phrases. He has mastered the word please. :) He tries to imitate whatever you say but he is missing some key letter sounds, like w, s, and r. His therapists says he has low muscle tone in his tongue and he can't see

m to move his tongue to the proper places to make the sounds. He also is working on making his lips into an o shape.
Gross Motor:
He is making huge progress. He seems less timid changing surfaces, yet still doesn't want to walk the stairs or swing at the park.

Sleeping:
He still takes a 2 hour nap. :) He seems to be taking forever to go to sleep at night these days. Some nights he'll be up talking to himself for over an hour and half.

Sunday night was his first night in his toddler bed. Really it's just taking the front side off his crib but still it's a big difference not to be trapped in.
He has done great with it! We turned his bookshelf around and locked the closets to keep some of the distractions away. He has only really gotten up twice to play in his dresser and both times he got his pajamas out and was trying to put them on. I guess he thought you had to wear your pjs anytime you are in bed. :) He thinks he's hot stuff in his new bed too. I am glad that transition went so well.
How he is like his...
mommy - he is very social and loves having play dates with friends, he's a morning person, he gets obsessed with a certain food and wants it every day, gets excited when daddy walks in the door from work
daddy - his laid back personality, constantly likes to have a drink with him, his obsession for football
