We had a relatively low-key birthday since we just arrived home from Seattle the evening before. During the day he opened a few presents and we relaxed and unpacked. We then went to a Lowell Spinners game again this year. I think this is Jack's 3rd time there. Nate really enjoyed the clapping and singing. His favorite though was the frisbee-catching dog. (Honestly, that might have been everyone's favorite - it was not a cleanly played or compelling game!). We then headed home and sang and had some cake. Chocolate cake before bedtime not the brightest move on our part as Nate had some real trouble getting to sleep. Of course we are also still on Pacific time so that also impacts things:)
2 Year Update!
Nate is talking a lot more - he has many words- I would guess about 40? He will often try to repeat things if you ask him. It often isn't intelligible out of context but he gets the idea. He hasn't put words together in a sentence yet though (he does sign things together - "more cookie please" etc).
Nate is still a super climber - we call him our little "monkey man."
Nate is not at all good at stopping things when we tell him to. He clearly understands but obeying is NOT his strong point.
He may have inherited dads inclination to electronic things. He is quite good at turning on the tv/dvd player and can use an iPad/iPhone to get to an app he wants. Scary and embarrassing.
He is still napping 1x a day - from about 1 until about 2:30-3ish. He is an early riser at 6-7ish. There is a pretty big range.
He loves to eat: waffles, turkey burgers, fries (especially with ketchup), cookies, pretzels, grapes, corn on the cob and pasta. He eats a variety of food but still has his allergies so many things are cooked special and it is hard to take him out. We have his 2 year check-up this week and I will discuss with his pedi next steps.
He LOVES trains of all sorts. He can look at pictures or videos of them pretty much all day.
