Leo turns 2

I really don't see how it is possible that my baby boy, who was born yesterday, has turned two years old. He is such a sweet, fun loving, happy little dude. At two, Leo does have his moments of "toddlerhood", but all in all he is still pretty easy going. He is forever full of giggles, smiles, "toot-toots" (what every motorized vehicle says), "hi's" to total strangers, and lots and lots of hugs and sloppy kisses. Leo is still a terrible eater, doesn't eat much of anything, other than crackers, baby oatmeal, and cheese. With this in mind, I was totally thrilled when he dug into his slice of cake and chowed down, though he still only ate a little. He has finally added peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches to his might-eat list. Thankfully, as difficult as it is to feed him, he is a wonderful napper and sleeper. He happily lays down in his bed and will play and talk himself to sleep. He is still averaging a 3 hour nap a day and plays hard during his waking hours. He is so fun to go places with as he has yet to meet a stranger. He makes friends everywhere we go, most often flirting with elderly ladies in the grocery store. He has a great time with his nanny as she takes him to our neighborhood park almost everyday. He is most definitely in his element outdoors and would stay there all of the time if possible. He absolutely adores anything with wheels and is great at playing. He probably spends at least 45 minutes a day sitting at our kitchen table playing with his cars. He is a fan of Curious George and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and has a remarkable attention span. Leo is so full of life and joy that I often can't wait for him to wake-up from his nap so we can snuggle and play. We celebrated Leo's birthday with a fun party at our house. Of course, he had to have a car-themed party and we had hamburgers, old-fashioned bottled sodas, and yummy cake. We were so touched with the number of friends and family that came to love our sweet boy. He finally got the gist of gift opening, in that the paper, bow, and box are not quite as important as the contents inside the gift. He was quick to say "open" after almost every gift he unwrapped and was ready to play. Overall, this has been a wonderful year for Leo, Scott, and me and we are looking forward to seeing what the two's have in-store for us all.
