Anyway, our big boy is 2.5 years this month so here is an update of his life:
• Ht: 35 inches
• Wt: 27 lbs. (still assuming he is the same)
• Clothing: mostly size 2 (24 M), shoes: size 6 & 7
• Size 5 pampers/2T pull-ups
• Favorite Movie: Has been getting into watching longer movies! Really loves Toy Story 1,2 & 3. Started watching Bolt. Still likes Cars and Wall-E
• Favorite Book: Grandma Halwa gave Jonas a bunch of Tonka truck books and he has been obsessed with them lately. He is really good at identifying what machine is what!
• Favorite toys: He loves being outside! He loves going to the park and quite often he brings his loader and dump truck with him and fills them up with rocks. He also likes playing on his bouncy slide & likes having water fights with mommy. He is obsessed with all of his machines (trucks, loaders, Mack truck etc.). He loves his Buzz Lightyear and Woody figurines and anything Toy Story!
• Favorite Food: It still has been a struggle to get Jonas to eat. Lately he has been eating lots of 'mush' (porridge). He still likes his bananas, apples, noodles, muffins, carrots, cucumbers and sometimes meat (done on the BBQ). His favourite treat are slushies and chocolate covered raisins.
• Other:
o Since moving into our new place, Jonas has become really good friends with the 3 year old boy next door named Thomas. He calls Thomas his 'buddy' and 'my Thomas'. It has been a blessing to have such wonderful neighbours!
o Bedtime is still a challenge. We are at the stage where he doesn't takes naps but sometimes should because he gets really grumpy. If he does nap, then he goes to bed super late.
o Still likes his Ipod and I think he can operate it better than I can (well perhaps not quite).
o Still loves to sit in the van and car (and Grandma's Jeep or Auntie's car) and 'drive'.
o Loves his baby brother and smothers him with kisses. When Emmett is crying he will run to him and say 'It's ok Emmett' or he tries to put in a soother (but Emmett never likes the soother). He also loves to hold Emmett. Jonas will also shake Emmett's arm or leg and say 'This is your arm or this is your leg'.
o Still points at all of the airplanes that he sees in the sky (and now there are more since we have moved to Beaumont). And now whenever he hears a big truck, he runs to the window to see what it is.
o Still refuses to use the potty and pull-ups and tells us that he wants diapers on. (We have to work on this one again). When we do change his diaper and it is poopy, we tell him it is gross and that he should be using the potty (and now he has started saying the same thing when we are changing him - mocking us)!
• Quotes/sayings Jonas commonly uses (his vocabulary amazes Cory and I):
His favourite word is 'what'? I think he uses it so much because he knows that we don't really like it & I know that he can hear us the first time!
Mommy (As Emmett is crying in the other room where Jonas just was): 'Jonas, is Emmett ok?'
Jonas: 'Mommy, he needs you.'
Some pictures that I'm sharing with you:
