Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Dear Johnathan,

Wow! You are two years old. You are the best two year old if I may say so. Your love and joy for life is contagious.
Since day one, you have loved being around people. You also love to show affection to your stuffed animals in your room, especially Mickey and Minnie. I am definitely not the ideal parent. Haha. This is all so new to me, but it is an adventure to figure things out together. You talk a lot. It is mostly jabber, but you do throw in words here and there. You don’t say words together yet. You do know all your body parts, animals/sounds, and just some of your favorite things. You whine when you want something. We are working on your communication because the whining is no fun. You are not a picky eater. Once we get you to try something, you usually like it. You love spicy food, pizza, watermelon, strawberries, apples, anything bread.


You love dinosaurs, Mickey Mouse, balls and cars the most. You also love playing with your kitchen and helping out in the kitchen whenever you can. Dad says it is because of all the Food Network I watched while pregnant. What can I say? That is my favorite channel. You are always using your imagination and cooking us up something yummy. You don’t like to paint and get your hands dirty a whole lot. You prefer to use your fork and get upset when it does not stab what you are going for.
You are still the best sleeper on the block and have been since day one. You like to suck on your two middle fingers and pull your foot up by your face. That is your comfort position. You go to bed around 6:30ish and wake up around 8.

You get so excited when Daddy comes home. Sometimes you tease him and open the door and then shut it before he can come in. You love going on bike rides and get so excited when we tell you we are going. If I had to pick a favorite animal of yours, I would say it is a duck. You are great at those seek and find books.


I am sure there is much more that I have missed, but we are so grateful you are in our family. We love watching you grow and explore. We love how kind and loving you are to those you meet. We love your silliness and wiliness to help out around the house.

You are the definition of this Winnie the Pooh quote “Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day.”


Love, 
Mom
