Christmas

We headed back to Fort Worth for Christmas and we got to stay for 10 days! Mommy had to fly back and work on Christmas Day, but she came back on Christmas night. We had many Christmas functions and I learned what presents were and I wanted to open one almost everyday. I received too many good presents and I really wished I didn't have to wait for someone to take them out of the packaging.

TWO!!!

I had my 2 year check up and the pediatrician was amazed that we were ever worried about my growth. I weighed in at 28 pounds (50%) and measured at 35 inches (60%). So here is what I can do at 2, somethings I have been doing for a while others I have just learned:
- I can jump up with both feet. skip. run fast. climb up on pretty much anything (haven't tried to climb out of my crib yet, but I have learned to climb over the gate to the stairs). get dizzy by spinning in circles. hit a baseball off a tee. jump shoot many feet back and make a basket.
-I recognize all of the alphabet and know what sound many of them make, I can spell my name "L-U-K-E", some days I will count (with prompting) to 10, I know a few shapes, I know many songs including "wheels on the bus", "happy and you know it", "this little light of mine" (which I call green light), "itsy bitsy spider"
- My favorite things include Lightning McQueen, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, playing with cars, driving my police car, talking about "green balls up", talking mommy's ear off, reading books, chicken nuggets, pancakes, oatmeal, milk, apple juice
- I still love people, but tend to be shy at first. I love to give a kiss and a big hug. My temper tantrums are pretty frequent and I like to do what I want to do.
- I still like to eat fuzz, strings, and things like that. Mommy talked to the pediatrician and she just thinks it is a weird habit that I will hopefully get rid of soon.

It's my Lightning McQueen party x 2!

I was so lucky this year; I got 2 Lightning McQueen birthday parties! A few weeks before my party, mommy was trying to decide what theme to do. I was really into the show "The Backyardigans", but I also was very into playing with cars and trucks. Mommy decided to do a cars party and when looking for decorations, the best one were the Disney "Cars". Mommy had let me watch that movie before but I was not interested, but mommy thought it would be cool if I recognized the characters so she let me watch it again. AND.... I fell in love. All I talk about and want to watch is Lightning Mcqueen, Mack Truck, and Mator. SO I was very excited about my Lightning Mcqueen party!
We went to Fort Worth for Thanksgiving and we did my 1st party the day after thanksgiving. There were so many people there. I had so much fun and got a lot of presents. The highlight of my party was the cake! Once I saw the cake, that is all I wanted, NO dinner. It was my party so mommy let me do it. I ended up having 3 cupcakes and 2 suckers! THEN.. I had a horrible night and was up every hour because my tummy hurt. Mommy learned her lesson on that one!






I just had to go back for more cake...



We had such cute decorations and enough stuff left over from the party that mommy did a playgroup party for me. I had a goodtime and ate some lunch and ONE cupcake.








HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
