Burke is 2!!

I have been terrible at blogging over the last few months, but really wanted to get something up for Burke's birthday!  It's sooooo hard to believe he is already two!  It's a little sad, but he is such a good little boy and so fun to play with.  We love this stage!  He's been going to daycare since May 16 and seems to enjoy it (minus drop-off).  He loves spending his days/evenings at the pool with mommy and daddy. And we LOVE taking him to the pool.  It's so nice for Brian and Burke to come visit me at work and have dinner together.  For those who don't know.. being the youth and recreation director at a country club results in 75+ hour work weeks in the summer.  I miss seeing my boys, but it's so nice that they can come to the pool! 

I'm sorry to say I can't post pictures from this computer, but will try over the next few days!  All our pictures are loaded onto Brian's camera.   Burke had his two year check-up yesterday.  Doctor was impressed with his weight gain (finally on the charts, but still not cracker 25lbs) and said he seems perfect!  Made me happy.. he did ask if he was reading on his own and my face must have said it all.. But really he just meant does he "read"/look through books on his own. 

We did a combined birthday party this past weekend at the pool with Wyatt and Ethan.  The boys all share a birthday week, so we decided to combine it!  It was sooo fun!  I'll post pictures soon!

At 2 years old:

- Burke is 24 lbs 6 oz  (fully clothed with diaper and two trains in hand) and 33 inches tall
- He's wearing 18 months clothes and a size 4 diaper (and only b/c we ran our out of 3 so moved him up), he does wear some 24 months things, but in pants/shorts he can still fit in 6-12 months too!
- He LOVES running around and being free! I am constantly chasing the man... he's pretty dag on fast
- His favorite foods are cheese enchiladas, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, ANY fruits, pizza, mashed potatoes and "cookies" (which translates to sweet things)
- He knows most animal sounds now - my favorite is still a horse. We totally need to get it on film!
-He has a pretty extensive vocabulary, but still has rambles too :) His favorite phrase is "what's that?"
- He really loves playing with his train set, buzz lightyear/woody, reading books and cars
-He would probably watch TV all day everyday if we let him!
- He loves going to the park and sliding!
- Sleeps about 11-12 hours at night and takes a good 3 hour nap...


Hopefully I'll be back soon!
