Sutton the 2.5 year old!

                                                         

Sutton is officially 2 and a half years old. Our Sutton is so fun, so loving, so moody, so sleepy and so many other things to us.
At 2.5 Sutton:
*Is incredibly smart! I worried about having a May birthday baby and I worry no more. His teachers tell me he's the smartest in his class.
*His Vocabulary is out of this world. His use of complex sentences, complex words and correct pronunciation, structure of thoughts, ideas and past experiences is simply amazing. Ryon and I often look at each other in amazement. His newest word is cornucopia. And you would think a 2 year old would mix up a few letters here and there, nope, perfect, every time. I have people stop me at least a few times a week and ask how old he is and compliment his vocabulary. Proud mommy moments :)
*He loves anything Mason loves and right now is very into Ninja Turtles and "swording" things. He gets into his ninja stance and throws his arms up."
*Loves to wear cowboy hats. Him in a black hat….goodness he's cute.
*Would live on gummies and fruit sticks if I'd let him. If I could just have the courage to let him eat these for breakfast my mornings would start out much better! He loves snacks. He never wants to sit down at the table, he'd rather eat anything and everything from "the pantry in a bowl"
*He's thick. His little body is strong and thicker than Masons was at this age. His belly still sticks out a lot and we always just want to poke his stomach to make it pop :)
*Still loves Gimmie. and his thumb.
*Is moody. When he's pissed and crying, he doesn't let go of it very easily. I make a lot of meals with him screaming at my legs. I just have to let him throw his fits and eventually he just snaps out of it and is fine. I use the word "pitiful" a lot with him.
*Fearless. He's always at the top of the playground equipment, riding his bike as fast as Mason is, and doing really whatever the bigger kids are doing.
*Hungry. And now he can say the word perfectly. He used to say, Hungee. Oh it was cute. But yeah, He's always in the pantry, stuck on the top shelf or in the fridge door or on the countertops looking for a bowl for his snack (that he got himself out of the pantry….) Never ending cycle around here! haha
*Loves Frozen. The first words to us in the morning when he comes into our room is "I want to watch Frozen….." And anything that actually is frozen, he says, "Frozen like Elsa?!"
*Always in his undies.
*Loves my camera.
*Kisses on the lips.
*Loves his Rick.
*Potty trained during the day with no problems. I'm still waking him one once a night to go to the bathroom and sometimes he'll wake up dry but other days not…He sleeps so hard. Ready to not wash sheets multiple times a week!
*Just like the picture above. When I remember these days years from now, this is exactly how Sutton will always look in my mind. He has my heart. He makes me crazy but he also makes me soft. I have such a soft spot in my heart for this one….He's all boy. Undies, Boots, Gimmie, Dirty, Content. Love him.
