Update on JT

Jonathan is FULL of life and words and giggles lately. I'm trying to savor it all since it goes by so fast. But it's definitely enjoyable to watch him develop. Here's a little look into our life with a cute two year old:

1. Little man wants to be outside as much as he can. And, he likes to point out anything that moves, wiggles, squirms, or looks like it moved. His way of "pointing things out" usually involves a high pitched squeal followed by a loud "What's dat?".

2. He likes to ride the horse and say "heehaw" - usually in a high-pitched squeal.

3. We're still playing dress up with Bella. And I'm still collecting these photos but when he starts dating at 38...

4. Y'all, he's hilarious with his facial expressions.

5. He has started doing this giggle thing when he laughs that sounds like a Santa Claus-full belly giggle.

6. He now likes to do everything.by.himself. He can get out of the bath, dry off, and go to his room. He likes to try to get his pajamas on. But after lots of struggling and yelling for a while, he'll finally let us help him with it.

7. He is completely in 3T clothing. This is a 2T shirt - and he was running away from the camera. But I wanted to document the belly overhang.

8. Mike is taking JT on hikes when he is off on Mondays. This Kelty is genius! Mike said that JT is yelling "Ha!, What's dat!" for most of the hike, usually accompanied by a high-pitched squeal. See a theme?

9. JT enjoys playing peek-a-boo or hiding in places he's not supposed to be.

10. This was a study morning for me where JT decided to join me in "learning". Little epidemiologist in the making!

11. We spend lots of time on the couch looking outside for anything that moves. "ahh! Bird" or "ahh! kitty cat" or "ahh, ahh!".

12. He's saying "cheese" in this picture. Anytime I remotely point the camera in his general direction he says cheese. I trained him well already.

  

Sweet JT, we love to pieces. And are loving watching your personality come out. Even when it does involved long tantrums on the floor.
