And that means that he’s crazy busy, & on the go go go. So that means that this Mama is on the go go go as well. He’s just so busy. Like constantly moving, making messes every waking hour, & also being crazy cute. The things he’s starting to say & how he acts constantly amuse Mercer & I. I think he’s a fairly average 2 year old. But he’s our first one, so he’s always amazing us.
I just took this picture yesterday, & it’s one of my new faves. He’s just gorgeous to me. Like, I never ever ever tire of his adorableness. This sums up a lot of our days. I slather him with 2 different sunscreens (paranoid of the sun & it’s magical burning powers), sometimes we share a Popsicle, & then we play with the whale pool, water tables, bikes, & his hot pink hand me down car that he is crazy in love with.
He’s been a little sick the past few days. Feels absolutely fine (i think) but has been pooping his brains out. Like crazy diaper explosions. After a bland diet the pooplosions seem to be tapering off.
Earlier in the week I was able to take Milo on a date. We of course went to our favorite sushi restaurant. We ended up sitting at the sushi bar for the first time, I was hesitant but it turned out great. While waiting for our order we discussed all the different colors & sea food that was in front of us in the refrigerated case, the sushi chefs joked with him. Over all it was perfect. I even let him have his first marble soda, he wasn’t impressed by it. Marble Soda I drank religiously through out my pregnancy. I was too paranoid to ever have a glass of wine, so marble soda was my elixir! Anyway, he sat at the sushi bar like a pro, ate his two bowls of miso soup, & a piece of my sushi roll. I love sharing experiences like this with him. If & when I go back to work I think it’s days like that I will really miss.
The other night, I hopped out of my evening bath & came out to find these two passed out on the couch. This just NEVER happens. I’m serious. It hasn’t happened since Milo was under a year old. He’s very used to his sleep routine & will usually only ever fall asleep in his bed or in the car seat. It was a special little moment. It was also the very beginning of the little bug he’s had this week so that might of had something to do with it. Such a special little moment, but really he had diarrhea in his diaper right then. Ha, sick.
How cute are they? So Cute! We like to hang out on the hammock in the summer evenings. It’s so relaxing.
Right after the crazy bridal shower was over Milo wanted to hop in the whale pool. He did. Cute widdle butt crack.
Other cool stuff:
He’s gotten to be really good at identifying the letters of the alphabet (only uppercase right now though.) He has about a 97% success rate at it right now.
He can count to ten. I feel like he could go higher I just haven’t taught him higher. He can also identify those numbers. I will start teaching him to 20 from now on. He’s awesome, I taught him that his favorite morning shows are on channel 6 in the morning so he comes out to the couch when he wakes up & turns on the tv & turns it to channel 6, & sometimes 66, or 666.
He still has trouble with colors. He can’t seem to get those down so we need to focus a little bit more on those right now I think.
He likes having tasks. His “job” is to let the dog in/out when he needs it. He loves that job.
He’s very sweet. (when he wants to be) Last night it was time for bed & he stopped, took out his paci, bent down & kissed Rocky good night, & Rocky was nice enough to oblige.
Obsessed with flip flops. He will wear nothing on his feet aside from “fip fops”. Kinda cute, kinda annoying. He’s almost outgrown his Toms & worn them just a handful of times. We also have two weddings next month, I’ll die if he shows up in fip fops.
He still sleeps like a champ. We get a slight bedtime protest from him about once a week. He’s also napped every day this week so that’s been nice.
Overall, he’s awesome. He’s cute. I Love him more than my heart can handle every day.
