Aiden is two!

Happy Birthday Aiden!!!

What being 2 looks like for Aiden:

Things you love to do:

wrestling with Da-da- standing on his legs and falling backwards

building block towers and knocking them over while saying "oh nooooo"

tell us "no no no" while pointing to things you are not supposed to touch- like electrical outlets

playing outside

swing golf clubs with Da-da

turning things off- lights, your monitor, the microwave, pretty much any switch you can find

seeing Elmo on TV and pointing to him and saying "elmo"

closing doors

identifying your eyes, nose, ear, mouth, teeth, tongue, hair, elbow, belly (by lifting your shirt), toes

identifying the ownership of many things. ex. pointing to the laptop and saying "mom's", or pointing to the bouncy seat and saying "Ty's", etc.

reading books and turn the pages, especially at night time

running from the corner of the living room to the couch and you say "set . . . go!"

give your little brother kisses and "pet" him on the head- you say "awwww" to him

eating- anytime anywhere, you snack all day

Some of your favorite foods:

fruit: peaches, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, grapes

raisins

crackers- animal crackers, goldfish, any

chicken

jell-o

cereal- you usually eat 2-3 bowls every morning

Your favorite toys:

the absolute favorite is your laptop Santa brought you. You have mastered the letters- you will press them when you hear or see the letter/sound and almost always get it right. You like to watch Mom play the games.

tools- especially the electronic ones, drills, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. You watch Da-da use the tools and mimic him.

blocks/legos

Thomas the train, which you call "choo-choo"

It's hard to believe Aiden is two already. The first two years of his life have been very memorable and I'm sure we will continue to add to those memories. He came into our lives and we have never been the same- he brings so much laughter and joy to my life everyday. I am so thankful for the blessings he brings!
