2 Year Old Tanner

Tanner is two! His birthday celebrations were a little crazy due to our last minute travel plans to Wisconsin. I initially planned our trip to be on his birthday but due to weather delays, we were home for his birthday and flew out the next day. Good thing he's two and didn't notice that we didn't have cake on his actual birthday.

Here's some favorites for our two year old!

Favorite book: Anything Daniel Tiger or football related. For Christmas, he received Daniel Tiger 5 minute bedtime stories and that is a favorite.

Favorite toy: Balls, anything with buttons that makes noise, his bike. Tanner isn't too picky with toys. He'll play with almost everything. His ultimate favorite toy is most likely whatever Ashton is trying to hide from him.

Favorite word: He doesn't really say one word more than others. He does like "dog" and will shout it anytime a dog comes by. "Daddy" is another favorite. He probably says about 50-75 words or more and has started putting two words together. Often the phrase includes the word, "no." He loves singing "Wheels on the Bus" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."

Favorite show: He really likes Little Baby Bum with the nursery songs. He sings along to most of them.

Favorite Outing: The park. This was Ashton's favorite too. We visit the park almost every day after naps and he loves climbing and running around.

Favorite food: Anything with a sauce to dip it in. Chicken nuggets, salad with ranch, banana in peanut butter, etc.

Favorite activity: Climbing something around the house. He loves when I forget to lock the closets and he finds new things to climb.

Height: 36 inches, which puts him in the 85 percentile. If the predictions are close, he will be about 6 feet tall. He's slightly taller than Ashton was at 2 years old. But he has short legs. He still wears 12-18 month pants that fit and his 2T pants are long.

Weight: 31 pounds. Two pounds heavier than Ashton was at this age. He's a big kid. 85 percentile for weight as well.

Tanner is an active little boy. He never stops moving unless he's asleep. He is a great sleeper though, which is helpful. Most nights, he sleeps for 11-12 hours and then naps for 2-3 hours each afternoon. He rarely wakes up at night, which is much appreciated considering another baby on the way. We love our little boy!

He thoroughly enjoyed every visit from my sister over the past few months. It was wonderful to have her in town to celebrate his birthday a few days early too.

Trying so hard to blow the candles out.
