Wow, where do I even begin?? Where did the last 2 years go??? How is my baby already a toddler? So many questions to start this post ;) It has been so long since I have written anything, and I find myself really disappointed that I won't be able to look back at this like I had planned in my perfect dream world (that I often "live" in, but seldom comes to fruition!) On August 17th, Canon Burk turned 2!! He is so very different than his big brother, in almost everyway, so it has been such a fun experience for me to get to learn his personality over the last year and watch him turn into a little boy! Here are some of his 2 year stats:
Height: 36.5"
Weight: 34 lbs (ya, he's a big guy!)
Hair color: still my little blondie
Eye color: Blue!! The prettiest blue eyes you've ever seen!
Teeth: all but his 2 year molars
Favorites: Mommy, Daddy and Keller (of course!), his blue blankie, Thomas the Train, Lightning McQueen, allll super heros, brushing his teeth, swimming, bath time, his cousins *wiggsy and gabin-ator*, his buddies at church *dan-ta, wane-twee, esson, ms sawwy, ms winda and ju ju*, walker, tate-tate, and of course his uncle drew bear (if you ask, "who's your favorite?" he will tell you "untle do bear!"
Sleep: still sleeping like a champ for us, 7p-7a and 1 nap in the afternoon.
He is a BIG boy! Much bigger at this age than his older brother was! People are constantly asking me, "He's only 2?!?" me:"Yes, he is just a big guy!" random stranger: "He's gonna be a linebacker!!" every. where. we. go. So I just hope he likes football ;)
He has a great vocabulary! Again, strangers are always very impressed with all the words he knows. I would like to take some credit for working with him, teaching him, etc...but if I'm being honest, Keller is his biggest teacher!! He says EVERYTHING that Keller says. He wants to be just like his big brother, and it is so cute!! Some of his phrases that make us laugh the most are:
"Not yet!" when asked if he is finished eating, ready to go somewhere, etc.
"I'm sorry bubba" ANYTIME keller is crying, whether he was at fault or not
"Ina stay hy-dre-ned!" (I need to stay hydrated) after he takes a big drink of water
"Ima do it myselp" (I want to do it myself) if i try to help him with ANYthing at all
He love songs/singing and knows lots of songs!! His favorite right now is "Chewtaback" or "Boys 'Round Here" for those of you who don't speak fluent Canon ;)
He is so much fun to be around, and a very funny kid. He knows when he is being "funny" and will look around to make sure everyone is looking and laughing at him. He has such a fun personality and I am so thankful and feel very blessed that I get to be his mom! I love you Canon Burk!!
this is how he has been sleeping lately :)
jumping in his crib
calling "aunt may-me" i'm sure ;)
"i'm two!!!"
