Silas @ 2

Wow, that went by fast... Hard to believe we now have a two year old and a three year old living under this roof, watch out!!!  It amazes me every day how completely opposite our two boys are but yet they can't stand to be without each other.  It is the sweetest thing ever, it definitely keeps life exciting and me on my toes!!!

So here is Silas in a nutshell at age 2!

Height - 38 1/4 inches tall (100%)
Weight - 27 lb 9 oz (45%)

Favorite Toys - Thomas, anything he can drive, he loves school buses and police cars (blue lights) and basically wants to do whatever Noah is doing!

Favorite Books - Freight Train, Goodnight Moon, Peekaboo Farm, 10 Minutes till Bedtime, anything Thomas or train related

Favorite Movies - Cars, Robots & Bugs Life

Music - Pretty much anything he can dance to, the kid seriously loves to dance and has some pretty impressive moves!

Food - Chicken, beans, rice, ice cream, any kind of berries, cheese and he is pretty much in love with Jamba Juice!

Silas talks nonstop and it is so nice that we can finally understand pretty much everything he says.  He says "please" anytime he asks for anything and recently started saying "thank you Momma" and "thanks"!!!  Gotta love those manners!  He is completely outgoing and will talk to anyone that will listen.  He is always saying hi to everyone and soaks up any attention he can get!  Serious flirt alert!!!!

He still sleeps with Gu (his blanket) and choo choo Gu every night.  He usually sleeps from about 8:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. every night, unless Noah gets up earlier and decides that Silas needs to be up too.  He loves nap time and pretty much asks to go down for his nap every day around 1:30ish if I have not put him down already.

He is seriously stubborn and wants to do what he wants to do.  He is not shy about having a complete melt down anywhere and everywhere (an experience I never had with Noah)...  He loves to play outside but the end result is always me carrying a screaming kicking Silas into the house when it is time to come in.  Noah calls it "taking a temper tantrum" :)

We found out that Silas is completely petrified of bugs, ladybugs in particular...  My dad caught a ladybug and brought it over to show the boys last weekend and you would have thought it was the boogie man himself attacking him.  Even after the bug was outside it took forever to calm him down.  I thought maybe it was a fluke but the next day there was another ladybug in the guest room and Silas went nuts again.  We'll see how that goes this summer, hopefully he can get over his fear of the big scary ladybugs!!!

Here are a few more pictures my friend Sara took of Silas!!!  Our big little man!

It is so appropriate that some of these are in the bushes.
Silas loves the to play in any trees or bushes he can find!
He and Noah call our front yard the forest and spend hours running
around in the bushes and playing in the dirt...

 

 So cute!!!

He loves balance beams, anything that he can
walk in a line on is a balance beam, even if it is just a printed line
on the street or floor!

Cheese!
