2 Year Old Stats

Yesterday Cooper went to the doctor for his 2 year check up. He weighs only 23 pounds (although he seems much heavier than that when I carry him around) putting him in the 3rd percentile. And he is 33 inches tall (no surprise their, mom's short too) in the 10-25th percentile range. Although most of the time Cooper is such a wonderful little boy, he is now two and often acts it.


Here are a few likes and dislikes.

Likes:
no surprise here: anything electronic
riding in daddy's car
going outside
chap stick
opening and closing doors
going to school
visiting our neighbor Papi,
climbing up and down stairs
running through automatic doors at any store (he'd make us put them in our house if we could)
doing things for himself
taking a bath
daddy to rock him
trains
Sesame Street
listening to music and singing songs
playing in his crib
LOVES oatmeal (he would eat it for every meal if we let him)
playing in mommy's car
riding his bike and go fast down the driveway
throwing balls



Dislikes:
brushing his teeth
getting dressed or undressed to put PJ's on
diaper changes
trying new foods
going to sleep
cleaning up his toys

Development:
He has about 200-300 words and continues to repeat every word we say
while trying to say his name he calls himself "Pooper"
now that he is wearing his leg brace almost every day he walks and runs much better
uses his right hand more often as a support
drinks from a cup pretty well with out spill too much (except on purpose, which happens a lot)
climbs very well onto almost anything
getting better at walking up the stairs by himself

I'm so glad that Cooper is a happy and healthy little boy. I'm so blessed to have such a fantastic little boy.

Happy Day Hat

Since Cooper's Birthday fell on a day he went to daycare his teacher made him a birthday hat. When daddy picked Cooper up that day, his "happy day" hat (as Cooper calls it) was nowhere to be found. So Cooper cried all the way home. Luckily we were able to find it the next day and take it home. He still loves to wear it and pretend that it is his "Happy Day" even though it has come and gone. How cute are these two?!

As a side note, I have no idea why all of the text is underlined or how to remove it.
