The Big 0-2!

I cannot believe that Goo will be 2 in 10 days. Where did the time go? He is SO MUCH FUN right now – this is such a goofy age. Here are some of Goo’s latest “stats:”

• Goo repeats constantly. He’s got a great start on his vocabulary, but we’ve got a ways to go. In the meantime, he tries to tell us what he wants, and if we don’t get it, he’ll physically pull on our shirt/arm/legs to show us what he wants. He certainly knows how to get his point across!
• He’s still in 2T/3T clothes, and has been now for almost a year. I didn’t think he’d ever slow down, but as he’s stretched out and become more and more (and more!) active, he’s stayed pretty steady, waist-wise. :)
• Goo’s fascinated with Batman, Yo Gabba Gabba!, trains, and horses. He loves this video, and could watch it for hours. The cute thing about Batman is he’s picked it up solely from the “big boys” at daycare, he’s never seen a cartoon or movie. He has 4 Batman shirts and wants to wear them every day. We do let him watch Gabba and “toons” periodically, particularly at night, when we’re trying to get him to wind down (always easier said than done)!
• He loves horsy rides, any and all forms of chasing or being chased, and wrestling daddy and Henry whenever possible. He’s a busy, busy boy and we honestly can’t take our eyes off of him for 10 seconds. If we do, we find sippy cups in the garbage, lipstick in the toilet, and toys in the fridge.
• Goo loves to talk on the phone. His Grandmas (or “Ammas,” as he says) are very good at entertaining Goo via phone, and have both figured out how to get a “Laaa You, Amma” out of him, on command. He also likes to talk to Cammi, which is super cute.
• He has gone on the potty a couple of times, but doesn’t show any real interest in learning at this point. We’re not pushing it, we just bring it up periodically, and humor him if he wants to try. Slowly but surely, we’ll ease him into it …
• Goo’s gotten 2 haircuts, the first of which was in Devils Lake in February, and just recently, by Grandma D.

We went tonight to take Goo’s 2 year pics, and are hoping to have lots of cute photos to post, soon. I will admit that the picture taking has seriously slowed since Poppy has come into the picture and has kept Mama on the couch for much of the time. I’m hoping that the morning sickness will let up a bit and I can get back to my normal mamma-ratzi self soon. :)
