Julian - 2.25 years old!

Julian has grown so much in 3 months and is talking so much now!  He picks up new words much more easily now and is starting to use sentences together.  My favorite is when he says "1, 2, I love you!".  He knows most of the letters of the alphabet, and likes to count by saying "2, 5, 2, 5"- the only numbers he knows how to say.  Like his sister was at this age, he is very into the number 2, and having "two" of everything, or finding things in pairs.  He also likes to point out small and big things by saying "baby" and "mama" even if those things are puddles or trees.  He insists on doing everything on his own right now too: getting in the car/carseat, getting in the crib (which he can't quite do yet even with his overzealous teacher Leana encouraging him along), crossing the street (which makes me want to avoid them entirely), going up and down stairs, etc.  We just ordered him his very own big kid bed - he loves cuddling up under the covers in a real bed and chose to nap in the bed in Maui ever day, so we decided it was time.

And of course, he still loves all the same things: trucks, cars, trains, cats, dinosaurs and music.  Lately he only wants to wear clothes that have one of these things on them.
