Ian turns 2!

So Ian is now a full fledged 2 year old! We had a wonderful birthday weekend thanks to all the cards and presents from family; THANKS EVERYONE! His vocabulary is growing so fast, its seems he has new things to say everyday. A new one we are not so pleased with is "mine", but we are trying to keep it at a minimum! He is conscious of what things belong to who; "daddy's shoes, mama's water". He can say "fall down, oh no and all done". And everything is "big"; big car, big truck, big bite! He can count to 4 sometimes 5! If you ask him to count his cars or blocks in front of him he will. He is learning his colors from some of the educational books he owns and from a toy cash register he got for his b-day. The coins are red, yellow and orange and he knows the red and orange ones. He's always been mechanicaly inclined so we got him some lego-type blocks and a Mr. Potato head to put together. He got a kids digital camera that he loves pushing all the buttons on, and walks around saying "cheese!" with it! He also got a T-ball set he loves. He can really get around the playground now, keeping up with the bigger kids. He is so happy and social, telling everyone hi and bye-bye. He connects with kids at the park now, laughing and running with them. He gave one boy a big hug when he came down the slide the other day, like a big congratulations! And today he was playing dinosaurs in the sand box with another girl, very cute. He is learning to share and usually does well. He recovers quickly at least! He is now in the 2 year old class at Kindercare, his daycare center and they say he gets along well with everyone and is very loving. We are excited to see him with his new brother or sister, I expect much of the same when they arrive.
