Our Sweet Boy

So, now Adam is 2. Since we are new to this blogging thing, why not give a run down of what Adam has been up to.

He was a wonderful baby. A great sleeper and a good eater. He’s had a charming personality and we have enjoyed him so much! I remember being so amazed at the little things when he was a baby. It was so cool to watch him discover his hands, then to start making sounds, then get mobile. It took him a while to figure out how to crawl but once he figured out he get where he wanted to be faster, he loved crawling!

I’m pretty sure his first word was “Jack!” (the dog). I brought him out of his room after a nap and Jack was lying at the top of the stairs. Adam looked right at him and said, “Jack!”

He started walking really well at about 14 months. It wasn’t long after he was running around like crazy!

At 18 months, his vocabulary exploded and we were hearing new words from him daily. It was so fun to watch him learn and practice new words!

Now he is nearly 2 1/2. He thinks potty training is for the birds. He talks like crazy and we are still amazed and how well he can talk. He speaks in full sentences and is getting much better at saying ‘please’ & ‘thank you.’ He is Mr. Independent and wants to do things for himself. If we try to help him when he didn’t ask for it, he freaks. Needless to say, it sometimes can take us a while to get out of the house because he wants to put on his own shoes, jacket, open the door, climb into his car seat and do his own buckles.

He gives us a good laugh daily. He usually has an interesting insight or comment on the world. This comment usually becomes my facebook status that night!

Lately, he is really loving going to the park. He is able to walk the whole way there this year! He is also really good at hitting a ball off a tee. We have a future major leaguer on our hands! Reading books is another thing he loves. He knows all of his letters and can sing the alphabet and count to 15. But for some reason he always skips 11!

He is a wonderful boy and we feel so lucky to have him in our lives!
