Haircuts and Checkups

Josh turned 2 on November 18th, and we went to the doctor's today for our checkup. He weighs 32 lbs and is 37" tall! His height puts him above the 95th percentile for height in his age group. The doctor said "I'll just put him down in the 97th percentile in the chart." He hasn't started saying two-word phrases yet, so the doctor wants us to wait a month, and if he isn't by the end of the month, she will refer him to a speech therapist. I'm not too worried, he seems to pick up a new word or two everyday.

He got another haircut this week, and the clippers were used on him for the first time. He didn't cry, but he acted like it tickled his head. Other than that, not much else to report.

A dozen roses

So a FTD box arrives today, just as Ben got home from work. So I think to myself "awwww, Ben got me flowers." But then I notice the box is addressed to him! Who's getting HIM flowers?? He's a guy! So Ben says "oh, they have to be for you!" So we open the box up, check the card - and who are they from?? American Express thanking him for being a loyal customer!!! They should be thanking me - I spend the money!!!

I so wish Jim Henson was still alive!

Sesame Street

Megan passed along this article, and it got me thinking abut the good old days of Sesame Street (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/magazine/18wwln-medium-t.html). It's really where my love of the Beatles started I think!

I can't believe it! He turned 2!!! He's growing up so fast, and I feel like time is just flying by. He got his "big boy bed" for his birthday, but I'm still hesitent. I have a feeling he'll get me up really early then. But, I know it's the next step. So after Thanksgiving, we'll give it a try! He's also showing signs of wanting to potty train! He's gone a few times in the potty, but I think we'll hit it hard after we've made the transition to the big boy bed. I don' t want to do too many changes all at once.
We're getting ready to go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving. It seems like the next few weeks will be crazy busy with family. Gotta love the holidays!

I'm trying a new way to post the pictures so that they are legible. We'll see if this works.
Aren't kids in winter coats the cutest? His new thing is to say "cheese" when his picture is being taken, but he keeps closing his eyes. We'll just have to work on this one!!

A little spicy and a little sweet, anyone would like to be lost in the woods with you.

New hair and whatnot

Well, I got my hair cut after 6 months. My hair stylist was on maternity leave, and I waited till she got back to get my hair cut. She straightened it for me (a completely different look for me), and I thought I would share.
In other news, Josh turns 2 next week!! I cannot believe it ! The time has gone by quickly. We'll have a small birthday party with close family and friends on Saturday -but small is a joke since there is a ton of close family around. It's nice, Josh really gets to know his great aunts and uncles!
Not much else to report. Going to Crown Point for Thanksgiving, and when we get back, Josh will have his 2 year check-up. We'll report more after that.
