Okay, yes, he officially turned 2-1/2
Little Buddy is certainly growing into a Big Boy! Not a baby, not a toddler, but really, he's a boy! How sad. Kids grow up way to quickly!
He's a big kid! He's roughly 39 inches tall (all though, I really think he's gotten taller since the last time I attempted to measure him). So, he's wearing 3T/4T clothing. If I buy anything now, it's been 4T for shirts and jeans. Thank GOODNESS for the invention of adjustable waistbands! They come in handy when your child is in 3T for weight and really needs 4T for height! He's also in a size 9 shoe. It's crazy looking at The Children's Place sizing for example. Once he moves up one more size, he won't be in the 'baby' section any longer, he'll be in the 'boy' category! With shoes, he'll move up the 'big boy' section in 2 sizes!
He loves music!! I think his of love of music - and different styles of music grow as he becomes older. Strummer will now tell you if he likes the song or doesn't like the song. Sometimes if I'm listening to music on my computer and he doesn't like it, he'll just close my computer. He's starting to become quite opinionated. He also loves to sing random songs, play his guitar and play the piano! If he had drums, he would also be playing those. Instead, he 'plays drums' on about anything! The couch, the table, the chair, in the car, he always likes to drum to his own beat!
One of my favorite 'music' things about him - is when he's playing 'the drums' before he starts he'll go '1, 2, 3, 4' - then goes to town! I really need to take a video of it!
Strummer loves to dance! I have yet to post videos of him watching Imagination Movers and dancing along, but it's pretty darn cute! He likes to also dance while he's playing guitar :o)
Speaking of being creative, he really enjoys coloring, painting and drawing! He also likes reading books and having books read to him.
He is starting to talk more and more like a 'normal' person. He often talks in complete sentences! Along with talking more - he also expressives his opinion quite a bit....good or bad, he lets us know about it!
As with all kids as they get older, Strummer is now starting to get picky. Sometimes, he will just eat a few bites. Even if it was something he loved just a few weeks before. I find it funny that his sister will tend to eat more than him! He does however, always ask for yogurt. Oh - and of course, will always eat anything chocolate or pizza. :P
Strummer is in underwear! Potty training is going super well! :D
Strummer is ALL BOY! He loves being outside. Loves getting dirty. Loves playing in the sand. LOVES-LOVES-LOVES riding his trike (so much, I'm thinking of purchasing a bike w/training wheels this summer for his birthday in October). Loves running, jumping, kicking and throwing balls, 'shooting hoops'. He also LOVES the water, going swimming and playing with the garden hose. The list goes on. He can get quite upset if he can't be outside!
It seems as each month passes, his title of 'big brother' becomes more apparant. He loves his little sister! He sometimes gets upset with her, but for the most part, he adores Edyn. If she's asleep he'll ask 'where's sister', if he's outside and Edyn's inside he'll say 'come here sister', if they are outside and Strummer is off riding his trike down the sidewalk, he'll say 'come on sister'. A few weeks ago there was a totally cute moment. I found some Spiderman (one of Strummer's obsessions right now) chairs at a garage sale, 2 for $1. Strummer set his chair up in the living room, then went and grabbed the other chair and placed it right next to his chair. Then went and patted the empty and chair and said, 'come sit sister'!
