Tegan Turns 2

It has been 2 years since we welcomed this sweet little stinker into our home!  I know I say this all of the time but I really truly can't believe how fast the time has gone!  Tegan has changed so much in the past year!  Here is a little bit about our Tegs at 2 years old!

 He is a big boy!!  At his 2 year well check he weighed 26.8 pounds (49%) and was 35 inches tall (64%.)  He has had 10 plus ear infections and 1 set of tubes...amazingly they have stayed in for almost a year which for our family is a pretty big deal! He wears size 2T clothes, size 6 diapers, and size 5 or 6 shoes! 

Tegan has never had a haircut...he was born pretty bald and it has taken 2 years for him to get a full head of hair.  We keep debating on cutting it but I am a little attached to his comb over in the front and his little curl in the back so we will probably have to wait for a while!

 Tegan is a talker...a non stop talker.  He mimics everyone in our house!  Everyday we have a routine when I pick him up from the babysitter.  I ask him, "How was your day?"  and is response is always, "Good, racecars, Hannah, Sagie, hotdogs, chips, night night."  Which means good, I played racecars with Hannah and Sage, ate hotdogs and chips, and took a nap! 

Tegan loves to sing songs...right now his favorites are Popcorn Popping on an Apricot Tree, Wiseman Built his House on a Rock, ABC's, and I am a Child of God.  He loves to read books and is obsessed...honestly could read it 100 times...obsessed with The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Tegan is pretty smart (thanks to the IPAD!) He can tell you about 14/26 letter names, about 7/26 letter sounds, can identify 7/10 numbers, and can count to 5 pretty consistently...we need to add some more color and shapes apps because he doesn't know those yet!

 Tegan is a "little bit" on the stubborn side!  When he sets his mind to something...he is determined that it is going to happen!  I hope this works to his advantage one day...not the other way around!  Some examples of this include:

He won't eat dinner

He won't go to sleep in his bed

If he wakes up in the middle of the night...it has to be Mom to come get him and he as to be rocked back to sleep

He wants to be a big boy and walk where ever we go

 Tegan has a lot of favorites and is selective about what he likes...some of these favorites include:

Stuff: the IPAD or Dad's phone, his brother, being outside, bath time, and wrestling with his dad

 Foods: chicken nuggets, chocolate milk, cereal, yogurt, all fruit, all treats, pancakes, french toast, and ice cream

 Shows: Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Sid the Science Kid, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Doc McStuffins

We love you Tegs!!
