Life as a Two year Old....

Belown is a list of random information about our two year old! The purpose of this is strictly for documentation so my feelings will not be hurt if you decide to skip this post!

"Report Card" from Davis' 2 Year Old Check Up.

Height= 33' (25% percentile) and Weight= 26 lbs (30% percentile).

Davis here are a few things about your likes, dislikes, and quirks....

• Need I say that you love a certain train named “Thomas”? You love Thomas the Tank Engine and all his friends (especially Percy, James, & Emily) but you are not really interested in watching him on TV! He just doesn’t hold your attention well!
• You like holding DVDs! I know this sounds odd but you really, really like it! They tend to get scratched up and very beaten up but you love your “mooovies”. Once again, not necessarily watching them but holding them. You love putting them in the DVD player and then a few minutes later taking them out and putting another one in! This drives mommy & daddy so crazy that we’ve temporarily put up our DVD player until perhaps you grow out of this a bit!
• You still love fruit like there is no tomorrow! Mandrain oranges seem to be your favorite!
• Something that is a new discovery is ketchup! You LOVE yourself some ketchup!! And apparently it can be used as a condiment for anything and everything (including cucumbers- what a gross combination)! Just two nights ago we had pot roast- you requested some ketchup & Daddy obliged. As he was squirting it out you said “Ohhhhh, NICE!!!!
• You love to look at airplanes up in the sky and buses that go by! They make your day and leave you looking and talking about them long after they’ve passed.
• The clothing that fits you best is 18-24 months in pants (though I’ve been buying mostly 2T for the fall so you can grow into them) and 2T for the shirts! You’ve long been in 2T because they have bigger holes for your large noggin!
• We have a challenging time finding shoes for your wide (slightly large feet)!
• You love your blanket and “pa-pa” and these are key components for you to fall asleep! I’m hoping we can ditch the pacifier really soon- not quite sure what we are waiting on now. We just need to do it!
• At your 2 year appointment you charmed all the nurses and impressed Dr. D. You counted up to 13 for him and then skipped to 17, 18, 19 20! Who cares about 14, 15, & 16, right? I’m not quite sure why we have such a hard time getting you past 13…
• For 4 or 5 months now you’ve been able to tell us what each letter is by seeing it. Recently you like to spell words out that you see…. For instance, almost always when we go to publix you spell out the signs you see, ex. B-A-K-E-R-Y. It took me a while to realize you were spelling words- I like to think I was distracted but the truth of the matter is that you may be much smarter than mommy!
• You are not a fan of crowded places or new places in general. It usually takes you a good while to get comfortable in front of lots of people- Daddy and I always say you get that honestly!
• You’ve recently taken to walking the dogs. Not long ago when we were trying to potty train you (trying= key word) you and daddy went and walked the dogs. Unbeknowst to mommy, you were only wearing your big boy underwear and tennis shoes. Not sure why daddy thought this was appropriate but it was funny! My deepest apologies to my neighbors- I hope they have a good sense of humor!
• You are starting to understand a little bit more about your baby brother growing in Mommy’s tummy! You will pat it & kiss my belly which warms my heart (you use to slowly pat it and then start pounding it)! Tonight you were driving your cars over the mountain (my belly) and the baby did a major shift. You looked petrified at first, but the next time it happened you said “Whoa!!!!”
• You like to take us by the hand and lead us to all sorts of different places! It’s not uncommon for you to say “hand, hand, hand”
• You are starting to try and put on your own clothing but haven’t mastered that skill yet (but it makes me laugh)!
• You started sleeping in a big boy bed once we moved (around 19 months or so). At first you weren’t a fan (but it was also a brand new house). We took 4 nights off where you slept in your pack-n-play and after that we tried it again. Thankfully you had no problems adjusting after that!
• You are working on mastering your colors but still have a good ways to go! However, red, blue, & yellow you can get right most of the time.
• Lastly, you now know that your name is Davis Gorman (you pronounce our last name “Goman”). However, recently you’ve decided that we should have named you “Bubba” . We have no idea where this comes from but think it’s associated with you starting school. Every time we ask you what your name is and you say “Bubba” you crack up into a sheepish grin and start laughing. Crazy boy!

You are so darn stinkin cute and we can’t believe how much our lives have been enriched by one little boy!
