2 Years


My precious baby boy turned 2! He is such an amazing little guy and we feel so lucky to have him as our son.

At 2 years Rowan...

-Loves to be silly. He is constantly doing something to make us laugh. Once he does make us laugh he usually does it over and over again. Too cute.
-Says he's "very tricky". He loves to show off his tricks to us and say "Rowan very tricky". Some of his tricks include holding his taggy blanket in the crease of his leg (ya know when you bend your knee), or doing a plank position from the ottoman to the couch.
-Has the most amazing memory I have ever encountered with a 2 year old. Seriously, this kid remembers details about things that happened months ago, he will start singing songs he hasn't heard in a month or more, remembers random places that we have been to once just by pulling into the parking lot...it's incredible.
-Started having a bit of a studdering problem that lasted for about 2 weeks. Then it went away all together and now he just seems to do it when tired. From my research I think it's just because he can't process all his words fast enough since he has such a huge vocabulary. It was kind of freaky though.
-Loves to eat Cheese Dosa's with Sambar.
-Loves to hop like a frog and say rib-bit, or walk like a dog and bark
-Is very polite. Says thank you and please constantly. My favorite is when he says "thank you very much" and "yes, please!"
-Loves to sing songs. He also makes up his own songs now.
-Loves to count things. He may not always get it right, but he tries really hard.
-Really enjoyed his birthday visit to Utah. He talks about his cousins all the time. He even made up his own bedtime story it goes "once upon a time there was a Gigi, Kolten, and Wyatt"
-Likes to help with his "chores" which usually include: taking out the garbage and getting the mail with dad, and cleaning up his toys.
-Has gotten really good at playing pretend. He makes his cars talk to each other. The other day I heard his fire truck say to the purple car "it's very nice to see you today"
-Had a Cookie's and Milk themed birthday party.
-Likes to stall bedtime and nap time as long as possible. He tries to be super silly and "tricky" so we won't make him go to bed.
-Will tell us when he poops and pees. I think potty training will start soon. He also calls his poop "big blueberry poop" because one time he ate a lot of blueberries and that's what I said to him.
-Loves to swim and doesn't even mind when he goes underwater.
-Constantly asks the questions: "What's Rowan (or mama, dada, etc) doing?" and "what's that called?"
-Learned how to gallop and "jump really high!" from his Gigi
-Found out he is going to be a BIG BROTHER in March! I know he is going to love (and be jealous!) of the new baby.
