Phin turned 2 at the beginning of June. He epitomized the definition of terrible twos at his two year check up. The nurse tried to lay him down to weigh and measure him and he flipped out. According to our very difficultly gathered and probably inaccurate stats, Phin weighs about 32 pounds which puts him in the 88th percentile for weight and he is 35 inches tall which puts him in the 67th percentile for height.
Phin is talking up a storm he is dropping three word phrases all over the place. I can't remember if I mentioned before but his first 3 word phrase was "I want bullets." Yes we are apparently raising him right...with a love for Nerf guns. He also uses the following phrases frequently "I want it," "I don't want it," "I want another one," etc.
He loves to be on the go. When we get home he loves to climb into the front seat and pretend that he is driving the car. He also loves to go on scooter rides with his Daddy and bike rides in the bike trailer.
He loved his first visit to Lagoon this season. He doesn't even need one of us to stand next to him when he is riding the carousel horses.
We stumbled across a little lawn mower at a yard sale and at fifty cents we couldn't pass it up. Phin loves to push it around inside and outside. He follows Scott or Seth all over the place. He has found that it is harder to push on grass...so he prefers to mow the pavement.
He is a climber...which sometimes gets him in some sticky situations. He will frequently yell out "I stuck."
He is very mischievous and learns quickly by watching us. He loved the time Seth spent splashing in puddles with him.
He also loves Jalapeno Cheetos just like his daddy. One day we walked to the grocery store and I decided to buy some. Phin recognized them right away and insisted on holding them. After we paid and were walking home I opened them up...and someone didn't want to share with their mom.
Phin can often be found squished between the cushions on our chaise lounger. He also loves to have a sucker in his mouth. Every time we walk by the bank he points and says "sucker."
He is pretty messy when he is eating ice cream cones and popcicles. He has what I call a kitty cat lick and hasn't quite learned to take bites.
When he gets excited he does fist pumps. We love it.
He loves his toys...and loves to spread them out all over the house.
I made an ice cream brownie cake for his birthday. He still hasn't figured out how to blow out the candles...next year right?
But he has figured out how to enjoy ice cream...we tease that he goes to Nona's for dessert...not dinner.
We also got him a few Thomas items which he was pretty excited about. He finally figured out this whole unwrapping presents thing too.
We love our 2 year old. This is Phin's last monthly post. It is hard to believe that our Baby is so grown up. We still say almost everyday "how did we get so lucky to have you come to our family." We love you Phinner!
