2 1/2 came and went...

Your half birthday was on October 24. We were on our way home from the trip to Lubbock and I didnt even remember that you were two and a half!! I can't believe it! I have no idea how or when you got so big, but when I ask you about it, you say "I went to the lake and growed up!" :) You are talking constantly, asking question constantly, and always on the go. I guess nothing has really changed in that area. :) You were in the car with Mimi in the backseat, who always endulges you if you ask nicely....she had stopped talking for a minute and you held up one of your M&Ms and said, "Mimi? Mimi? Lets talk about it. You talk about dis." A minute of silence is a minute wasted in your book!


You are sleeping in a big boy full-size bed and doing great! We made the switch to the big bed at the same time that we moved to the new house, so it took a week or so to get adjusted, but you are really doing well. You don't come out of your room anymore and you only cry for a minute until you realize it isnt going to work. :)


You are constantly cracking me up with the things that you say. My current favorite (that changes every day!) is when I ask you if you are ready for something (like bed or bath) and you say, "No, not quite." You sound so grown-up!! We have been buds lately with Daddy being so busy at his new job ("working hard" you say). You love to play, color, watch TV, play in the sand pile in the yard, and right now...go to Hobby Lobby. :) For some reason, it made an impression. Hehe.

You are so excited about being a big brother. We talk about Baby Sister alot and you tell me all the things you are going to teach her. ("to obey, to look up when washing her hair" and one time "to not kick you in the face." Not sure where that came from...he didnt kick me in the face!) We have talked about how babies are little and need you to be gentle with them, how she will cry, and how we can't be loud and wake her up when she is sleeping, and how you are going to be Mommys big helper. Hopefully some of that will sink in!

We just love you to pieces and can't believe how much our little family of three is going to change very soon. Im trying to hold on to these precious moments with you as an only child for as long as possible!! Happy 2 1/2, Branson!
