2.5 years

I can hardly believe that two and half years has gone by so fast! In that time, we have had the joy of having the sweetest, cutest baby that is turning into an easy going, handsome, smart, energetic, and sweet little boy.  We could not have hand picked one any better!!


What he's saying:
Huh? Fwhat?
Sure am-----Sure will
I sure will.
Alligade (Gatorade)
Be end (The end)
So handsome Daddy? (when he has on his cowboy boots)
I can do it all by myself
Frite (Sprite)
Just one more Tom and Jerry, or just one more time
Thanks, No thanks
Where we going?
Pillow (like it is a spanish word)





What he likes:
--Big machines--dozers, lawn mowers, tractors, weed eaters, dump trucks, and 4-wheelers
--Bubble baths and showers
--Salads, hot dogs, mac n cheese, peas and cornbread, milk, chicken nuggets
--TV shows:  Mickey Mouse, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Max and Ruby, Franklin, Bubble Guppies, and loves Tom and Jerry (he calls it the cat and the bear)
--Movies:  Toy Story and The Brave Little Toaster, Chipmunks
--to hear the story of the 3 Bears
--to hear stories about the puppies going to Daddy's work to get their teeth cleaned
--playing at the park

When he tells us he's moving to New Orleans, we can't say we were not warned!
--his pacifier--which was recently taken away--the garbage man came and put it in his garbage truck because it was dirty.
