Declan at 31 & 32 Months

Dear Declan: 31 & 32 Months

• You weigh 30 pounds!! WHAT!!
• You are still wearing 12-18 month shorts and some 2t shorts (depending on the brand) and 2t shirts
• You sleep from 7:30-8:00pm-6:30am during the week and a  nap from 1:00-3:30 sometimes until 4; on the weekends we keep you up until 8 or 9 and you usually wake up right at 12 hours but will just play in your bed and let us sleep in for a little bit longer. 
• You are a little parrot! You point to something you don't know what it is and we tell you and then you say the word. I think you really love learning new words!
• You are always saying 'what's that noise?' and then learning new sounds and words!
• You and daddy love 'hiding' in your tent went I get home later than you both and I pretend to not know where you're at. You laugh and laugh. It's super cute!
• We have gone on a few mini vacations in the past couple of months! We went to Kansas City for a long weekend and then Hot Springs for another long weekend over 4th of July.  You did great and we all had a blast!  
• We visit Nana and Papaw during the July 4th holiday and then you stayed a few days extra while Nanny B was on vacation.
• We started swimming lessons this past weekend and you loved every minute of it. I don't know if I've ever seen you so happy! You kept saying 'My turn, my turn' So cute!
• We got you bigger shoes again! You're now in size 8's in your nike's but some size 7's still fit!
• You are getting so big so fast. I just can't believe that in 4 months an you'll be 3 years old.

Declan at 29 & 30 Months

Dear Declan: 29 & 30 Months (2 ½ years!!)

• You weigh 27 pounds
• You are wearing 12-18 month shorts and some 2t shorts and 2t shirts
• We've moved you up to size 5 diapers a month or so ago, still wearing size 5 over night diapers.  
• We had to get you bigger tennis shoes, they now 7! But the other size 6 shoes still fit!
• You have found a love for pizza and waffles/pancakes. It's amazing what you will and won't eat. It drives us crazy but you're still growing and still gaining weight.
• You sleep from 7:30-8:00pm-6:30am during the week and a  nap from 1:00-3:30 sometimes until 4; on the weekends we keep you up until 8 and you usually wake up right at 12 hours but will just play in your bed and let us sleep in for a little bit longer. 
• You have started talking more and more clearly every day. You can now finally say 'Yes' and actually know when to say it! You can say 'Monkeys jump on bed' (meaning you want to watch Kids YouTube) You can say 'get up', 'sit down', 'car', 'outside', 'bed', 'pizza', 'no likey', 'yucky', 'be right back' (and you hold up 1 finger when you say it) hoes you (hold me), who da? 
• You hate having your hands dirty. you come to use and wait for us to wipe them off. 

Whew! We have been busy the past few months and it's only going to get busier this summer! We've celebrated daddy's birthday, St. Patricks day, went to Tulsa to see Sesame Street, you spent spring break in Hot Springs with Papaw and Nana, saw the Easter bunny, had Easter where we got to spend it in Benton with Gigi and Papaw and other family members. We went to Silver Dollar City, Springfield, Everton, and a few other cities to visit more family. We went back to Little Rock/Benton and went to the Little Rock Zoo and then saw Disney on Ice! Then you spent a week Gigi and Papaw  in Benton. Gigi and you went to Chickfila, a pet store, to Bass Pro, and to the movies!

You are such a trooper! You just went along with us, with your tablet in tow and your cup of milk or water, oh and we can't forget monkey, he goes everywhere too!  Thank you for being such a great kid. I know you get frustrated with us as we do with you but you really are amazing! I really can't believe that we have 6 months left until you turn 3! I better start planning your party!
