2.5 years old!

Well I am behind on blogging once again but wanted to do a post today because Wade is 2.5 today. Where has the time gone? I can't believe that in 6 months I will have a 3 year old. We are so thankful for our big boy. Here is a little bit of what he is up to these days.

• weighs around 33-34lbs
• around 3 ft and 1/4in tall
• still takes one afternoon nap-sleeps anywhere from 2-3 hours
• sleeps well at night- goes down by 830p but has been waking up lately having bad dreams around 1-3am. He tells us there are alligators, monsters or giants in his room :)
• goes to school twice a week and LOVES it
• loves to do anything outside
• loves "playing" sports- anything you can play with a ball is right up his alley; also loves playing frisbee
• loves sticks and rocks
• still loves to eat
• has been potty trained now for 4 months
• talks ALL day long
• loves to sing "his music"
• knows his ABC's and how to count to 30
• knows his letters, shapes and colors
• knows how to spell his first and last name
• still wants his baby sister to live in Greenville!!
• Would still sleep in a crib if we let him- actually took a nap in there today because I was too tired to argue with him
• he is so funny and loves to make us laugh
• loves Kung Fu Panda, all the Toy Story movies, Bee Movie, Happy Feet, Over the Hedge and Nemo
• Still likes to watch Barney, Elmo and Mickey at times
• wants to take some naps on the floor still

I know I am forgetting so much but these are some of the things he is up to. He is such a sweet boy. I have to say he hardly ever cries, has never thrown a real tantrum and is so funny. Now he is WIDE OPEN at times and is ALL BOY but I would not change that for a minute! He does get in trouble for yelling and being "mean"  or not listening sometimes but overall he is such a great and easy kid. He is VERY independent these days and wants to do everything "by myself!" I have just loved watching him grow and change over the past few months. He just seems so old to me these days. I can't wait to meet his sister but I am so thankful that we will have had almost three years with just Wade before she gets here.

Wade,
We love you so much and can't believe you are two and a half years old today. We are so thankful for you and for your fun and sweet personality. We can't wait to watch you grow and change over the next 6 months. Daddy calls you his best friend and loves you so much too! We are so proud of the little boy you are becoming. We love you,
Mommy & Daddy
