Declan at 2 Years

Dear Declan: 24 months or 2 YEARS

• You weigh 24.9 pounds
• You are wearing 9-12 month pants and some 18 month jeans (only for the length though, they are adjustable waist and are as tight as we can get them) 18 month shirts, size 4 diapers size 5 over night diapers and and size 6 shoes.
• Your favorite foods are: Banana, blue berries, apples, grapes, oranges, Chickfila chicken, ketchup, bread, Fettuccine Alfredo, yo baby yogurt, Veggie straws, Cheerios, french fries, crackers, cookies, pizza, breakfast bars (you call them cookies) and anything that's on our plates.
• You sleep from 7:00-7:30pm-6:30am during the week and a  nap from 12-2 sometimes until 2:30; on the weekends we are usually running errands and eating dinner late and visiting friends and family so you don't get to be until 8 and later but you usually sleep 11-15 hours and still take a 2 or 3 hour nap.
• More words this month!! You now can say: cool, oh no, coffee, Clifford, George, Arthur! We are working on sorry and love you. You can still say cow, pig, horse, cat, bird, Mimi, Poppi, Papa, Gigi, Nana, please, block, broke, car, baby, up, down, momma, milk, more, nite nite, nana(banana), all done, no no, thank you, bubbles, duck, bye bye, ball, my ball, book, turtle, dog, cracker, cookie and Mickey, Mooh and Pooh, bless you, thank you, amen, chicken, hot dog.
• You've had a virus this month.... Bad runny poop and threw up on the way home one day and on the table of your high chair. I called in for the first time in forever and stayed home with you. You normally run around the house like a crazy man and play with all your toys and eat non stop but that day, you didn't, you laid on the couch and watch nothing but Netflix cartoons and hardly ate or drank anything. I ended up getting the same virus a few days later so you spent the night at your Mimi and Poppi's that night and part of the next day at M & P''s.
• Halloween was this past month, we tried to dress you up as a ninja turtle but you would not have it so we tired Mickey and it went a little bit better. 
• We took to you to First Friday Night - Toyland. You got lots of fun toys and got your picture taken with a Ninja Turtle! You didn't like him. 
• The weekend of your birthday, I took off work and took you to get donuts, visit some friends at my work and then you got to spend sometime with Mooh and Pooh!
• We took you to the Gentry Safari today on your birthday and you LOVED it. You love looking at all the animals and you loved with daddy feed the camels. You loved getting to feed the mini ponies, goats, kangaroos, and pigs. We had lunch at a local restaurant and then you got to hand out with your grandparents and great grandparents. I got ready for your party that we a throwing tomorrow!
