I can't believe Samuel is TWO!!! He's so big now. We've been so busy since Thursday that I haven't even had time to post. Nana and Papa came to visit us and decided to bring some of Thad's old toys. This fire truck is one of them and Samuel loves it! They also brought the Tonka Bus/Winnebago which I didn't get a picture of but it is so precious.
Samuel is up to so much right now that I don't think I can put it all but here are some things just so I remember:
- He's wearing 2T in everything and size 5 diaper
- He says so many words and even says some sentences. My favorites are "mommy, are you?", "bad dogs", "zip it dogs", "Cibaciba" which is his word for paci, "atch woody buzz?", "I you" for I love you, "snacks in bowl", "biper in twash" for diaper in trash, "titchoos" for when he wants to look at pictures on my phone, "fire saaaa" when he wants to watch Fireman Sam, and so much more. He can point to almost every picture in his 100 word book and say what it is. It may not be completely perfect but we know what he means.
- He's nowhere close to potty training
- As of today, he only gets his paci and nap and bedtime
- He loves his friends SO much and always says their names followed by their parents names
- His favorite things are trucks of any kind and all things boy
- He is so funny and makes faces and laughs at himself
- When we pray at night, he ALWAYS prays for his grandparents and bows his head and tries to close his eyes
- His favorite movies are Finding Nemo, Monsters INC, Toy Story 1, 2 and 3, and Ratatoullie. His favorite shows are Fireman Sam and Caillou
- He now says "thank you" without being prompted and is getting better with saying "pweeeese."
- He loves to jump, climb on anything and dance his little heart out

On Sunday after church, Samuel and Thad decided to have snack time in the "clubhouse." It was just too cute! I see lots of lunches and snacks up here in the future!
We had so much fun with our TWO year old this weekend. The party was SO much fun and everyone including the adults had a great time. I'm so thankful that Samuel is so healthy and happy and we just love him to pieces. I'm praying this next year goes by a little slower ..not quite ready for him to be SO big!!
