Colt had his 2 year appointment last week (Thursday) and the Dr. B said he was growing perfectly. He weighed 29 lbs 12 oz (75th percentile) and 34 1/2 inches tall (50th percentile). He has consistently stayed at these percentiles since he was born. I love Dr. B because he makes you feel like you have the perfect child and could possibly be his only patient:) Colt had been to see other Dr.'s several times since our last well visit at 18 months. Several ear infections, so he was very hesitant on letting Dr. B do anything. Apparently Dr. B has run into this problem before. He talked about Colt's puppy dogs and made Colt believe that he had a puppy dog in his belly and chest...so Dr. B could listen to his heart and lungs...and Colt smiled and let him go ahead to find that puppy dog. Well, that silly puppy dog got in Colt's ears too. So, Dr. B had to check them out...Colt didn't like it at first, because his ears have been a big problem in the past, but he gave in with a little giggle and let Dr. B take a look inside. His ears are perfectly clear...yay!!
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
About a month ago I started jotting some things down that I wanted to remember about this stage in Colt's life. He is the funniest thing in our life right now, and I think he knows it!
He has said several sentences so far, but these are the ones that I remember and that are funny. First I'll mention that Colt talks in the 3rd person at all times so they sound a little weird on paper.
1. "Go in-ndere Dizzy, now" - Go in there Gizzy, now.
2. "Daddy's walle, hole it Mommy" - this one was pretty clear
3. "Ewww hot, in-ndere Mommy" - this one he is talking about my car being hot when I put him in it after I pick him up from daycare
4. "Go winnow up" - Go window up
5. "Colt read Daddy's book" - this one was pretty clear
6. "Kool bus, ohhh!, one too" - This is where he saw a school bus, said it, then saw another one so he said "one too" - haha
7. "Colt knock e ober" - Colt knock it over
8. "Sungasses...uh oh...darks" - This was hilarious to me, we were sitting inside and he found his sunglasses, said "sungasses", put them on, and said "uh oh...darks" as he looked around the room.
Here are some of my favorite misspronouncements:
1. "Trolls" - cereal/cheerios (not sure which one he is trying to say)
2. "Eee-uuu" - Get up - usually followed by "Mommy/Daddy"
3. "Bee boc" - Flip Flop
4. "Kop-kar" - Pop Tart - I think this is how he says it??
Things he says or doesn't say that are funny and too cute to me:
1. He has a tendency to add an "s" to the end of names like, Mommy's, Daddy's, Dizzy's, Daisy's, Colt's (everything is possessive)
2. As already mentioned, he talks in 3rd person which is our fault. But, the other day he said "Colt do it, Coltself"....now, I'm not sure where "Coltself" came from, but it is hilarious!
3. We can't get him to say "I love you"...if we try he usually finds something else and makes a comment on that like "truck." I know he loves us because he sure does show it, but he doesn't want to say it!
4. He loves to say what he's doing aloud such as "Colt walking; Colt running; Colt do it; Colt did it!! Colt bind (find) it!!"
5. He also loves to repeat things over and over again...I think he's just proud he can say it.
6. AND he's repeating everything these days, so we have to watch it. My vocabulary only gets as bad as saying "oh crap" so he has said that a couple of times so far ("oh cap")...I'm trying to stop, but it could be worse!
7. Usually at bedtime when we are trying to get him to go to sleep he asks about people on his mind. He will ask me "Daddy okay?", "Dizzy okay?," "Daisy okay?," "Tanon (Canon) okay?" and if he's with Daddy he'll ask "Mommy okay?." Such a sweetheart! These are his favorites to ask about.
Other things that he's doing:
1. Colt loves his mommy (me). There's not much I can do with Colt in the house (if Josh is gone) because he wants to be wherever I am and if I even attempt to cook, it's not happening because he is at my heel saying "up-pease, Mommy" and he's so nice and polite (no whining) about it, it's hard to say no. It took a long time for him to stop crying for me to hold him and we got there...sooo what do you do?
2. He loves to hold hands when going somewhere and I love feeling that little grip in mine. I think it's funny when we go to one of our friends houses and they have tons of new toys to play with, but he wants to grab my hand to go check out the toys along with him...he won't dare go by himself!
3. He is the most loving child I know...I my gosh, I could just eat him up! He gives the best squeezes (and I get a lot of them) and kisses in this whole entire world! He is always loving on me and saying "Hey Mommy" - I think this phrase substitutes "I love you.":) He has started doing the same with Josh...not quite like he does with me yet...but he gets some lovin' too. The love increases dramatically closer to bedtime...and the giggles start too. It doesn't take much to make this little guy laugh! Although I do get a lot of loving anytime that we are together, I still hold on to him tight when I get him to sleep at night...it's just soo hard to let go!
4. His favorite movie is "Finding Nemo"...he asks to watch it all the time. This is the only movie he has sat through the entire thing. I guess his next favorite would be "Toy Story 3", just because I've played it for him the most.
5. His 2 year molars came in just recently. I made the mistake of sticking my finger in his mouth to feel of them! Ouch!
6. Colt is allergic to some kind of food. We haven't narrowed it down to a specific food, but he just breaks out in hives around his mouth and on his neck. Once it did get down to his belly. That's as serious as it gets. We thought it was early peas at first, then thought it was pineapple, but the last meal he had and broke out, neither of these two items were served? At least it's not a serious reaction.
7. He also has a mild case of Excema. I informed Dr. B about it and he told me how and what to do to control it and I have actually done exactly what he said and the excema spots are just about clear! Wow, that's amazing:) I just hope that it stays a mild case.
8. Colt is not a big eater, I really don't understand how he maintains his weight. I think he drinks his weight. I'm not too worried about it because he acts and looks just fine. But he LOVES milk and his Daddy made the mistake (well not a mistake) but gave him chocolate milk because he was having a bad morning and now he asks for Chocolate milk all the time...he's says it really good too. He does like cheese (mostly shredded), chicken nuggets (on occasion - I'll fix just 2), green beans (on occasion), corn dogs, pizza, pasta and some other things, but his real love in foods lies in sugar...definitely got a sweet tooth! They say he eats really good at daycare and they serve a variety of foods.
9. Colt has now moved to a Big Boy Bed!! He's doing awesome! I was so worried that it would take him forever to go to sleep and he would wake up in the middle of the night. I decided that I was NOT going to lay down with him in his bed, that I would get him to sleep like I normally would and if that didn't work I would just make him lay down and pat his little hiney so he could go to sleep that way. Well, check, that worked...it's been so easy getting him to go to sleep. Now for the waking up in the middle of the night...none - check! If he wakes up, he goes right back to sleep. In the morning, he gets up and out of his bed on his own...not sure what he does in his room, but he'll come out when he's ready and come see us in our bed, usually between 6 and 7. This past weekend he came in our room with his baseball helmet and glove on saying "Hey Daddy." It was a great way to wake up! He's been in his Big Boy Bed for one week...now I can start working on the nursery and adding some pink:)
Now...we can stop at this age...I like him just the way he is!
