Happy Golden Birthday, Quentin! Part 2

Have I mentioned before how fast time goes by? It went by fast before Quentin, but seems to be going even faster now. We had his 2 year appointment earlier this week and it went great, despite the finger prick.

At two years old, Quentin is very busy.

- He weighs 25.8 pounds (20%) and is 34.75 inches tall (69%)

- Talks in sentences - his most recent sentence was, "I want to see the doctor"

- Constantly saying new words and repeating them until he gets it right. Of course, there are still a lot words he cannot say, like his own name. (Maybe we should have thought about that when we named him)

- Mastering using eating utensils and drinks out of a cup.

- Voluntarily sits on the big boy potty all the time. Although has yet to go.

- Sings songs - his favorite is "HAPPY YOU!!" (Happy Birthday to you) The other day it was "Happy You MOMMY!!" and yes, he sings it very loud.

- Knows his birthday and how old he is. He can't quite get the 2 fingers with one hand, so uses both hands holding 1 finger each

- Continues to LOVE being outside.

- Loves helping with chores. Feeding Frodo and watering the flowers are his chores.

- Continues to love to read books. (Thanks grandma Nancy for Q's small library).

- Favorite foods are fruit, applesauce, cottage cheese, corn, broccoli, and tuna.

- Is getting braver and braver the older he gets. Climbing on things that aren't meant to be climbed on and showing interest in things he never has before, like outlets.

- Likes wearing his helmet and hats (which we are very thankful for)

- Favorite colors are Pink (thanks to Dylan) and blue. Can also identify colors. If you ask where the Yellow block is, he'll show you.

- Likes looking at pictures and identifying who the people are.

And, now for some pictures. Quentin through the last 12 months!
