I can't believe it's been two years already!!!!
It seems just like yesterday that this little guy was born!
This kid keeps is constantly making us laugh. He has such a big personality. He loves anyone and everyone and within minutes will be your best friend. He is very independent and wants what he wants when he wants it.
His vocabulary is endless and he is always talking in complete sentences. Some of our favorites... "uh-oh, what happened?" "daddy gone to work on school bus" "where did ___ go" (in a high pitched, questioned looked face) "I no like it" "one more time"
He is such a good big brother!!! He always talks to "Coop-e" (as he has recently named him) and tries to watch out for him. One morning in Ohio over thanksgiving, Cooper was crying upstairs....Rader immediately came to each one of us and said "cooper need lunch". After he realized none of us were going up to get him, he headed up that way and said "it's otay Cooper"
He has shared his favorite blankey with Cooper and is always helping me to get the burp cloth, paci, etc!
Of course, we see this face below from time to time. Particularly when he doesn't get his way, Imagine that!!! He has a time out chair which he has responded to great! Now all we say is..."do you want to go to time out?" and he says NO then usually quits.(of course a subject change helps.
)
He has turned into a super picky eater lately and doesn't really want to eat!! He would much rather be playing than eating! His favorite snacks right now are fruit snacks and applesauce.
And HE DOESN'T MISS A BEAT! His memory is amazing. If you do something differently than before, he knows it. If you do something one time, he wants to do that way for EVER! He can be quite OCD at times including his habit of loading, unloading, and lining up items (animals, shoes, etc)
He can def. be a "ham" at times and will do anything you ask him too. He loves washing clothes and the dishes along with sweeping. Now if only I could teach him to fold clothes and clean the bathroom!!
He has an obsession with animals and will play all day with them! Any size, any shape, or anyone! I'm pretty sure he knows just about every type of animal there is!! He is also into trucks and trains now!!
He has his basic colors down and still enjoys his puzzles. We got him one of the USA and it's quite cool to watch him put all 50 states together (his dad is beyond thrilled about this)!!

About 4 months ago, he started getting into "tv shows" and his favorite is Little Einsteins with Barney as a close second. (over Christmas, he watched 101 Dalmations and toy story...amazing)
Despite our constant discipline and direction for this big guy, We are absolutely loving this phase right now and can't wait to see what else God has in store for him and us =)
