2 1/2

On September 23rd, our not so little Maddox turned 2 1/2.  I seriously can not believe how much he has grown and developed since he was born (which seems like yesterday, by the way!).  One day he looks like this...

 

 

And the next he looks like this...

 



I can't get him to cooperate most days for me to take many pictures of him anymore, but that's life with a toddler, right??  We love Maddox so much and are so glad he is ours!

Some things about Maddox at 2 1/2:
-Still napping in the afternoon although it is taking longer for him to fall asleep these days.  Not ready to give up those naps yet!
-His favorite toys are trains and train tracks
-Talking so much and will say anything... he is extremely verbal and can communicate anything to you
-We are in a very whiny stage, but the "spells" don't last long. 
-Time-out works very well for him
-He started preschool in August and goes 2 mornings a week from 9-12.  He loves it!
-We are contemplating starting over with potty training soon... but I would not mind waiting until closer to age 3.  So... not potty trained yet!
-He loves to sing songs he learns at church and preschool.  His favorite song at the moment is "You Are My Sunshine".
-Still pretty shy overall, but is coming out of his shell a little more these days
-Can say his ABC's all the way through and loves to sing them to us
-Knows most of his letters most of the time
-Knows most of his colors
-Is really into drawing right now
-Not a great eater, but we are hoping this gets better with age

I am sure I have left some things out, but these are the highlights!  We love our sweet boy to pieces! :)
