Terrific Two!

Hard to believe our little boy is two!  Here he is letting his sister help him open his present before school.  I have a feeling this is the last year he'll let her help!
 

 
Giving me a "smile."  Like the rest of the family, Colby is not exactly a morning person, so he's sometimes a little grumpy until he gets some milk and cheese.

I just can't believe how tall he is!

yeah!

Yummy cupcakes!

 
Colby had a nice birthday, even though we haven't had his party yet.  Things were so crazy trying to pack and get ready to move.  Becky said she didn't mind having a joint party with Colby, so I think that's what we'll do this year.  At two, Colby is talking so much.  He is able to use words when he doesn't like something or when he wants something.  He loves to be independent and walk up and down the stairs by himself, saying, "I do it."  Or sometimes it's, "Carry you."  He loves books.  He enjoys reading them and looking at the pictures.  Aninal books are his favorite.  He loves to point to the pictures and say things by name and the sound they make.  He loves to be outside playing almost as much as he loves watching Elmo.  He loves to sing songs.  It has been so much fun watching Colby learn and grow.  He also loves his big sister and loves to copy her.  He has an amazing laugh which is contagious.  It doesn't take much for him to get us all laughing, which causes him to laugh even harder at us.  He has been having some issues with hitting.  When you tell him, "No hitting," he will say, "hug," wanting to give you a hug to make it all better. He is so loving, it's hard to be mad.  We are trying to explain to him that a hug doesn't make hitting okay.  He seems to think that a hug will make everything bettter, though, so he's struggling a little with that!
