Griffin is 2 Years Old

My sweet boy is two.  Yep - I guess he might as well be in college.  Haha.  I know.  Just kidding.

I feel like he's doing so much now so I'll just point out the highlights:

- 37 inches tall, 98th percentile

- 31 pounds, 75th percentile

- if forgot his head circumference but it was in the 80th or so percentile

- diapers are size 4 and 5

- shoe size is 9.  That't right people.  9.

- clothes are 2T, except some pants are kinda short.

- Griffin loves to tell everyone and everything, "bye bye."  He sounds so twangy when he says it and he'll get right in your face.  He's in the habit of telling the door, the rocks, the grass, the car, everything "bye bye."

- Griffin can tell me pretty much whatever he needs.  It's really difficult for most other people to understand, but I know most of his words.

- Griffin is really funny about picking his clothes and his pajamas.  He's got quite the sense of style and will tell me, "I want shirt off/on." Or, "woo woo (firetruck) shirt, mommy, " etc.

- Griffin loves his shoes and boots, too.

- Griffin points out trees as "hi-ya biiiig"(big stick) often.  It's pretty funny.

- He knows most of his colors and gets them right most of the time.  He has absolutely no interest in numbers, still.

- He loves animals, too.  He can name all kinds of animals and their sounds.

- Griffin still likes to read.

- Griffin answers "two" when asked how old he is.

- He makes the biggest splashes in the bathtub.

- Griffin is an expert sneaker-upper.   He loves to tap someone and then run and hide.  It's really cute.

- Griffin likes to wash his hands

- Griffin can master most playground equipment independently.  He really has been able to for a while, I just couldn't back away.  So really, this is a mommy milestone. I've backed away, folks. :)

- Griffin is a very generous kisser. ;)

- Griffin said "love you mommy!"

- He still loves to color, play trains and or trucks, he's gotten in to play-doh thanks to my friend, Jamie's, suggestion, still like Pooh, Muppets, Backyardigans - oh - and the opening scene of The Lion King.

Hard at work in the car...

Eating a favorite snack of ice

If you look closely, you'll see the deer he's yelling at. :)

oh the trains....

play doh!

These next few are from his super cute Pooh birthday party that we had at my parents' house.  They have a spectacular yard with a great play set.  It was the Hundred Acre Woods. :)

climbing up all by himself!

BooBoo pushing and Yogi watching

You can't tell, but there's a mad game of Hundred Acre Woods poke going on at that table.  Complete with Orange Crush. :)

My mom ordered these super cute cupcakes and cake!  Aren't they great?

Griffin ate the ears off of Pooh first, then took the 2 and chowed down. :)

I think we have already read this book Big Green Monster, 50 times in the last week and a half. Thanks Wells Family!

another book!

The big surprise:  a Thomas train table from Nana and Papa, Yogi and BooBoo and Mommy and Daddy!  He. has. not. stopped. playing. with. it.

Griffin, we love you so much and think you have such a fun loving and rambunctious personality.  You are keenly observant both in sight and sound for a little guy and we can't wait to see how God will use you!
