Baby Brody | 24 Months

Baby Big Boy Brody | 24 Months Old

I've had this post in my draft box since he was 22 months old.  I kept wanting to write an update because he was changing so much and doing so many new things that I wanted to document it.  Here I am finally sitting down to write it after his 2nd birthday, but that's fine too!  

Age:

24 Months Old or better known as TWO!!

Weight:

30+lbs and 35 in (total guess)

Clothes:

Wearing size 6 diapers.  Size 7 shoes.  Clothes are 2T and 3T.

Sleep:

Nap for 2.5 to 3 hours.  You go down at 1 or 130pm.
You go to bed around 730pm and wake at 730am. You are an awesome sleeper!

Feeding:

You have 3 meals a day plus a morning and afternoon snack.  You are a very picker eater. You don't eat any meat with the exception of hotdog and bacon which are new discoveries in the last couple of months.  You love any and all fruit and you won't really touch vegetables unless they are in a pureed packet.  You don't eat any pastas at all, won't touch a scrambled egg, and mostly drive your Mom completely insane when it comes to meal time :) We've been able to do the green smoothies lately and that has definitely helped in the vegetable department. 

Schedule:

730 am Wake Up 

8am Breakfast

10am Snack & Playtime
12pm Lunch

1:30 pm Nap

4pm Snack

6pm Dinner

730-8pm Bath/Bedtime Routine

Health:

You've been super healthy for the last 3 months or so which has been awesome! 

Likes:

Loving bath time

Playing with Daddy and seeing him walk through the door after work
All trucks, tractors, buses, cars, etc.
Emptying any basket, bags or drawers and then putting everything back in it.

Books

Stroller rides & being outside

Your blankie & monkey 

Balls
The beach- I'm so happy that you are loving the sand!
You have just started liking the pool this month since we've started taking you often.  You started swim lessons in July and are doing awesome!!
You're also loving boat rides.
You've been Mickey Mouse obsessed for over a year and now you have just discovered Elmo.  You don't necessarily love Sesame Street, but you love for me to play Elmo's World and songs on YouTube.
You are loving MUSIC lately. You sing ALL. the. Time.

Dislikes:

You still don't always like putting clothes on or having your diaper changed, but this has definitely gotten better. 

You HATE being told NO
You hate trying new foods.

Milestones:

You are amazing me every day these last few months.  They have truly been the most fun yet.  You have become so loving and sweet.  You really know how to express those emotions now by hugging, giving kisses, and actually saying I love you.  It melts our hearts.  You love to sing.  You sing your ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, Elmo's Song, Mickey Mouse theme song, Jesus loves me (your favorite) and any other little song that comes on.  You love counting to 10 and find anything around to count.  You can say both your grandma's names which makes them so happy and you blow them lots of kisses. You finished your first year at "school" with the one year olds and you loved it! I can't wait for you to go back next Fall!  You are talking up a storm and repeat everything we say.  It blows my mind.  Lots of things are still up for interpretation, but you love to hear yourself speak.  This age is awesome.  

Places You've Gone:

Destin, New Orleans and headed out to Vail again for your 2nd time.  We have been so lucky that you travel well.  We've been taking you around places since you were a baby and you really adapt well to new environments.  It makes life so much easier!!
