Dillon Update
Well it's been a while since I've done an update about Dillon. He went to his 2 year doctor appointment a few weeks ago. He is 37 inches (95%), grew 4 inches since March!! He weighs 31 pounds (70%). He had to get one shot, but was a trooper. No more until he's four. The doctor said he is doing great, very healthy and she won't have to see him until he is three (here's to hoping that there isn't a reason we need to go in before then).
Dillon is still very active, but is getting much better at entertaining himself. He loves all his new toys and cooks away in the kitchen (makes us cookies, happy cakes, muffins, anything you can imagine), plays with his cars and trains. Sits and looks through books. The morning after his birthday party he didn't even want breakfast he wanted to do downstairs and play!
He is a chatty Kathy. He is talking all the time! I understand most of what he is saying and if I don't Dillon tends to repeat it until I figure it out. He knows works and concepts that I wouldn't think he would know as a 2 year old. He is always surprising us by what he knows.
He is singing his alphabet now and also likes singing to songs. We were in the car the other day with the radio on and he started signing a long. Who knew he'd ever really paid attention to was was playing in the radio! He does have a very, very good memory. He will start telling me something that happened weeks ago and not leave anything out. He is also counting up to 6. He has knows his numbers for a while but now he understands counting. Didn't even know he knew how until he counted his crayons. Kids really are sponges!!!
About a month or two ago Dillon started not always wanting to be rocked to sleep and asking for the crib. Now all he wants to do after story time is go into his crib. I don't think either Art or I were ready to stop rocking him to bed, we both enjoyed it. But Dillon is all over it and wants to go to sleep on his terms. Sometimes he plays and reads for a half hour before falling a sleep, sometimes he falls as sleep almost instantly. He was taking really long naps, 3+ hours, for a while, but those have seemed to cut back to just under 2 hours. Guess he was having a growth spurt.
He starts preschool tomorrow. I don't go with him anymore, can't believe it. I'll let you know how it goes. I am sure that he won't have any problem with me leaving, but not sure how I am going to be.
Dillon really is a little boy now. When did the baby go away?!
Here are some cute pictures I've taken of Dillon recently:
Weed whacking/blowing the deck with daddy.
Watching the train go around the tracks.
Sitting in the fire engines at the Blackberry festival. I didn't think we were going to get him out of the engine!
