LIL MAN is TWO!!!

So two years has come and gone. At some points; during the constant colds, teething and sleepless nights the first year really seemed to go by slowly. This year was a different story. Every month seemed to go by quicker than the previous. With each new month brought a new milestone and more uncovering of Lil man's blooming personality.

Here are some things about Lil Man at age 2!

-Weight: 27 lbs (37 percentile)

-Height: 35 inches (67 percentile)

-Favorite foods: Any type of meat, cheese, Cheerios, fishy crackers.

-Favorite fruit: strawberries, bananas, and apples.

-Favorite veggies: peas, sugar snap peas off the vine, green beans and lettuce with dressing.

-Sleeps from around 7pm to 7am and naps about 2 hours.

Can you guess...

what lil man's favorite veggie from the garden is??? I haven't even been able to cook with them because R & B eat these tasty snacks right off the vines everyday!

Gardening with Grandma L

Lil man loves gardening or attempting to help garden. He must of got this love (or like) from his daddy because I actually weeded for the first time last month when it was one of those perfect summer nights. For those of you wondering; nope this doesn't mean I will mow the yard now. No interest in that. Hopefully R will help daddy with that someday.
