Height 33.25" (84.5 cm) (21.70th percentile)
Weight 26 lb 4 oz (28.15th percentile)
Head circumference 19.55" (41.1 cm) (62.20th percentile)

Favorite foods: Still eats anything. I don't even know if I could pick a favorite.  He will eat all his veggies, but really enjoys fruit, especially berries.  Eats any meat but does seem to like seafood and pork.  Loves to snack and has begun to choose milk over water which is a new trend.

Favorite toys: He likes to play in the sandbox and has been getting better on his Styder balance bike.  He still is enjoying to role play and now has begun to pretend to be doctor.  Still enjoys sticks, balls, trucks, and all the typical "boy" things to do.

Favorite/Common sayings: "All Done,""Up Please," "More Milk Please," "Oh Jeez!"

Favorite shows/movies: "Team Umizoomi" still ranks top of the list. Other shows he previously liked slowly disappear off his interest list. He does enjoy "Cailou" if that happens to be on.  Haven't been watching too much TV, however he did like "Monsters, Inc." while on vacation.

Favorite books: Any of his books with tractors and trucks.  Ga Ga Rose got him

Richard Scarry's "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go" which he loves! 

Has begun to be interested in stories more than just the word/object books.  He has always enjoyed looking in depth at pages and talking about everything that he sees.  Now he seems to beginning to listen to the story as he looks at the pages. One in particular is "Farley goes to the Doctor."

Developmental growths...
Bottom 2 molars have arrived
Counts (with mistakes) to 13
Tries to draw circles
Beginning to understand different emotions and facial expressions

Isaac seems to be becoming more social.  He enjoys other children and loves to walk up to other kids at the park.  He doesn't know how to ask and play, but kids seem to have their own unique way of becoming friends.  He really enjoys playing with Eli and Emma, our neighbors behind the park and talks about them a lot.  He prays for Ga Ga, Pop Pop, and Ga Ga Shaw during every prayer which is cute that he wants to specifically include them in meal and bedtime prayers.  He's often very serious but he has a killer smile that lights up the room.

We had a little birthday party for Isaac at Ga Ga and Pop Pops. He enjoyed all the attention, the yummy ice cream cake Ga Ga made, and of course the presents. Thanks everyone for special memories with family!

Wait for a little while before you see the finale of Isaac's birthday fireworks!  We got these fireworks in MO, and they were unbelievable.  I think we will need to be further back next time! Happy 2nd Birthday, Isaac!!!

What a great relief to make it to Ga Ga and Pop Pops! Will and Tammy's wedding was beautiful. Isaac didn't walk with the kids as he was supposed to, but he did go down with Daddy. I had to go get him within minutes and we went back to this little building with A/C and played. We enjoyed riding the tractors, mowing the grass, feeding the fish, throwing rocks off the bridge, and going for a boat ride.

We made it! After 10,000 “All Done's,” a sick momma, and a puking Isaac, the RV made it past the point we broke done last year and we were minutes from home. It was a lot of driving for Joe, but we pushed through and made it back in 2 days (1 night). It was good to be done with the “big truck” for a little while. But he had a GREAT time seeing family!!!!  We miss them all, and Isaac now can name all his aunts and uncles on Daddy's side and identify them in pictures.  I love that he is old enough to start remembering family.

New stamps...not the best travel activity.

After so many "All dones" I gave up. Let's get on the floor and play! 

Hi momma!!!

Mistake # 437 - markers while driving.  Isaac loved it!!! The magnadoodle was a much better choice. :-)
     
Our trip this year included a 2 week roadtrip driving an RV to North Carolina and back.  We had full intentions to continue on to Maryland/West Virginia and then back home, but I think the reality of how "non-vacation-like" it was driving cross county with a teething infant and toddler and a sick dog set in once arriving in NC.  So, we decided to stay put and enjoy our stay with Joe's immediate family a few extra days and then make the drive back home. We sure missed not seeing Joe's Grandma Sweeney though!

We began the trip leaving on Sunday evening (rather than our original plan of Tuesday morning) hoping that Isaac would enjoy finally getting into the "big truck" and then both boys would sleep until we stopped to sleep at rest area. Mistake #1. It was an unnecessary evening of sleep in the RV rather than our own beds. We were all just eager to get on the road and start our vacation.  If we would have left earlier in the evening rather than 8:00 pm, it may have been worth it.

The next day's drive was fairly good! The boys stayed in the car seats more than I anticipated, Isaac enjoyed some of the new activities I had planned for him, and Levi was easily entertained with simple things.  I didn't even need to to turn on the TV/DVD!  Things were good! We arrived at a KOA outside Kansas City and Isaac ran wild!  Enjoyed the playground and swimming with Daddy!  He'd run and jump into the water, dunking himself like crazy! I had pre made lunch and dinner, so no cooking was necessary. Success #1.

Up early the next day and back on the road.  Pretty decent, and I did eventually turned on some DVDs to entertain Isaac for a bit.  We arrived to the next KOA in Kentucky with a lakeside campsite and great   views.  The people were nice and there were lots of things for Isaac do. They had a big jumpy pad, full size kiddie pool,  fishing, bikes, and mini golf all on a lake.  Isaac had reached his limits, began not listening, and just needed to run free.  We decided to stay an extra day here to let Isaac just have some fun and give Joe a break from driving. Then arrived at Ga Ga and Pop Pops on Thursday evening.  So a total of 4 days and 4 nights! Uff da!
