2 Year Stats

Caden went to the doctor for his 2 year check up on the 23rd.  He is 29.8 lbs (75%) and 35.5 in (75%).  The doctor said that he is growing really good.  Caden is learning new words everyday, and he will put 2 or 3 words together sometimes.  It is so exciting that he is learning to talk and communicate better!  He can count to 3, but a lot of times he skips the 1 and just says "2,3."  We are working on learning colors, and his favorite characters from the Cars movie are the brown car (mater) and the red car (Mcqueen) as he refers to them.  He has also gotten pretty feisty lately and has been throwing lots of temper tantrums.  I guess that is to be expected.  Caden no longer sits in a high chair, and he sleeps in his big boy bed.  It's a little bittersweet for me that he is growing up because he is still my baby.  Caden loves basketball, and he even liked watching it with Matt.  Too bad that basketball season is over (I never thought that I would say that!) because it was so cute.  He even cheered and yelled "Oh yeah" every time that a basket was made.  One day he pointed at the tv and said "tv basketball" because he wanted to watch basketball.  He is definitely taking after his dad.  Caden also loves Elmo, and every morning he tells me "watch Elmo" because he wants to watch Sesame Street.  He also likes to say that things are cute.  The other day, after I just got dressed, he looked at me and said "cute."  He is really the sweetest little boy ever when he's not throwing tantrums.
