P. at 2 years old

• Still obsessed with balls--always takes one everywhere we go!
• I love hearing him talk--he is always saying new words and surprises me nearly every day with a new word.  N. went from a few words to speaking basically but was a late bloomer, so I missed this phase on him--we were so worried about N.'s speech, but he just wanted to do it all or nothing basically.  Some cute words lately ooww, yee-hah, day-doh(play-doh), choo choo train, cheeeese, mama, mommy, basketball, football, baseball
• He has become sooooo mommy-fied lately.  If I leave him with S., he basically cries for me at the garage door even though S. tries to distract him with tons.  If I leave the room, I hear him in a panicky voice, mommy.  He's super clingy--I think it may have stemmed from us leaving him for a week while we went to nyc.  Either way, I hope he grows out of this phase quickly!
• When I wrap him up in his towel after bath, I always call him my bambito burrito.  He has now started saying dito, dito whenever I wrap him in his towel.
• Loves trains just like his brother
• Likes to cook food in his kitchen and bring it to us
• Favorite foods-goldfish crackers, strawberries, PB sandwiches, Kashi cereal bars, cheese, yogurt
• Loves to copy whatever you're doing
• Likes doors on cars, in houses, opening and closing them, putting toys in and out of things--like on his toy bus, barn, and airplane
• Calls the "little people" people babies
• Loves to march, run, and gallop around the house
• Loves to go bye-bye--if he's sees my shoes on, he assumes we're going somewhere, so he goes and gets his shoes and his ball and waits at the door, and throws a big tantrum if we're really not going, so therefore, I'm careful about putting on my shoes around him;)
• Has a very handsome smile
• He's grown up way too fast, way faster than N.'s first 2 years went.  I keep looking at him these days and am just in awe at how much of a little boy he is!
