Jadon at 2!

Our little guy is turning into such a fun and rambunctious toddler! He's just so sweet and fun, even when he gets upset with us. He'll stop and cross his arms and give us this look that is just too much. He's understanding there are consequences for his behavior and he usually quickly obeys and changes course. He loves running and playing and tackling you. He especially loves messing with Eliana! He loves to throw, kick and hit balls. He's great at climbing and loves swinging and sliding. If he could, he'd be outside all the time.

(I forgot his elephant in Central Asia so I'm just going to post some pics of him!)


He's still quite a laid-back guy, as you can tell. He's not talking much at all. He has some words like "Ma", "Da", "ball", "stop", "bye", "hi" and "whoa!". His only two syllable word is "wa-wa" for water. We're keeping an eye on him and will see what the people at our upcoming conference say and then at his 2-year-old check-up. We're just waiting a little longer since he recently went to the doctor in December. He really communicates well...just not with words!


He loves being silly and making us laugh, and our sunglasses often find their way to his face. It's so cute! He's up to about 31 pounds and he loves to eat and sleep. He easily lays down at naptime and bedtime. He sleeps between 2 and 3 hours in the afternoon and then from around 7:30 to 7:00 at night. He'll stay in his crib and look at books in the morning too. So laid back!


We've been having lots of fun going to the gym and to church. He really loves the nursery/childcare and runs right in when we drop him off. I'm so thankful! We're also going to storytime at the library almost every week. He's not super into the songs and doing motions but I'm hoping it's good for him and his vocabulary. He's a great grocery-shopping buddy, especially after I found the "free fruit for kids" bin at Kroger! He's super into his routine too (just like his mama and sister!). Nature or nuture I'll never know!


Have a mentioned he's a little ham??? Jadon is just such a joy to our family and watching him grow up is so much fun. I can't wait to see what this third year holds!
