Chance turns 2!

Our little buddy turned 2 this past week!  We had his party on Saturday at the house.  His current favorite movie is the old Disney Robin Hood.  I will post about the party soon.  So it was a no brainer that his party would be Robin Hood. 

We started the birthday week off by waking him up to a decorated house which included streamers, a banner, and balloons.  He was so excited!  Ben and I went to work a little later that morning so we let him open one of his birthday presents a lego animal set!  He loved it and plays with the animals all the time.  We had a whole evening planned of going out to eat at a fun place called Bigz to let Chance play and eat!  Come to find out we drove all the way fighting traffic and it was closed.  We were desperate and settled for Taco Cabana.  We sat outside and he played with some boys there!  He didn't mind one bit!  We then let him go see his other birthday present a climber in our backyard.  He loves it as well and is a perfect size for him and we don't have to be right there as he climbs up.  As you will see Bailey and Daddy like to climb it as well.  We are so proud of our little fella! 

We also had a pedi visit Friday! All is well!  He is still on the small side at almost 25 lbs and almost 33 inches tall, but the doc reminded us that this is not a contest and would rather him be on the smaller side!  He had to get a shot at the doctor and was such a trooper.  He was more upset they put a bandaid on him than the actual shot itself!  (he doesn't like bandaids at all!) 

Fun Facts:

• Loves to read books.  Overheard him in the bathtub reciting Brown Bear Brown Bear to his animals.  He was just making it up as he went and was really close to the actual characters. He was also reciting a Dr Sues alphabet book the other day!  I think we have a memorizer on our hands!
• He loves the Letter Factory dvd.  He watches it and has flash cards that he will search for the letter as they are talking about each one.  He does a really good job at finding and recognizing each one and knowing what each one says.
• Loves other children.  While we were at Taco Cabana he was telling the other boys to chase him and as they were climbing the railing he told them to be careful.  He is very cautious as well.
• Loves his sister.  He takes great pride in doing things for her such as putting her clothes in the dirty clothes.  He asked me to help change her diaper the other day.  I "let" him wipe her.  I catch him patting her head or legs or just hugging her.  Makes this mommy smile
• He likes to stand on his head,  especially in his crib!
• Loves all the dogs!
• Likes his camo baseball hat! He is very particular about how it goes on!  He flips out if it is not on perfectly straight!
• Can recall events from many months ago! Still talks about Santa Claus' house at Bass Pro Shop.Amazes me!
• Says Hab it ALOT when he wants something or IS IT?  Also new thing of when we get in the car he asks Where going? 
• At night he wants to pray for the whole family by name and he is able to name them all by himself.  He even threw in the Mickey Mouse characters Pete and Pluto!  They need prayers as well right!
• Very kind heart and sweet personality.  We pray God uses this little fella in mighty BIG ways!
