Sweet Daniel turned 2 in December.
He began talking a little more right before.
A lot like Aidan did and now his words are blossoming.
Phenomenal. Then again Little Man actively participates in Logan's In Home Speech Sessions.
More for our money?! OK, well, not really but he REALLY wants to be included.
He will tell you when he wants a drink, wants to eat or doesn't want to do or wants to do.
Tantrums are coming now, just really in the last month or two.
Whooo Boy are they U-G-L-Y!!
Unluckily, for him we got used to him screaming 12+ hours a day for the first few weeks of his life and then that transferred to Logan's quirks becoming more evident and his tantrums lasting 4-6 hours.
So Little Man, a 10-20 minute tantrum is nothing.
No Mommy won't open the gold fish or cookies before we buy them.
We have had some doozies.
I have had strangers help open doors for me while I wrangle him and his shoes and socks (classic tantrum move: begin to disrobe while hysterical), Aidan and Logan and make way to our van.
In all of the two year old-ness he is the first of our Boys to have a form of coping mechanism.
Which is a nice surprise!
He loves numbers and letters like his Big Bro's.
The Pediatrician was surprised at his 2 yr check up that he would say, "That's a number 5, a number 2. That's a G, That's a R."
Everyday he says something new.
We again did not take any photos on the poor Kid's Birthday.
Andrew's Dad did take a video of us singing, "Happy Birthday!"
He was ABSOLUTELY adorable.
Yes, I am biased but it was wonderful.
He sat there watching the candle, looking at everyone, then he had his "AHA Moment" when he realized it was ALL for him his little hands went over his head and then rested on top of his noggin with a bashful smile.
It melted Andrew and me.
Here's the video. You see the tail end of his moment right after the camera pans around the room.
If it wasn't for Mr. R we would have NO recording of any of the Kid's birthdays.
**And for our tradition Logan finishes the song with screaming.**
Here is the Little Man at my Mom and Dad's the day after his Birthday.
Little Man was:
Height:35.5 in (80%)
Weight: 29.6 lbs (65%)
at his check up.
Smaller than Aidan at 2 and almost as Big as Logan now.
:)
We really get good use out of our clothes.
Little D loves trains but especially cars or anything that crashes.
He likes to snuggle first thing in the morning.
He now says, "Momma hold you." when he wants me to pick him up.
He's a big Momma's Boy like his Brothers.
All 3 will insist on Momma at bedtime most nights.
Daniel adds just that extra bit of wonderful chaos to help complete our Home.
It is a very loud house most days and he for sure helps.
He can destroy the bookshelf in a matter of seconds.
He also loves books if you didn't guess.
I can't believe our Chubbly Bubbly has turned two.
The change from age 2 to 3 is huge and we are excited to watch him grow and a little sad as our Baby is growing up.
