Big Two Year Old!

Dillon turned 2 on October 4th! YAY Dillon!

We didn't do much for his actual birthday. We sang to him a couple times and generally gave him a little more attention and he LOVED that! He got to go to Guitar Center (his favorite!!) with Daddy while Mommy was taking a test at the University. I got home in time to give him a little gift (that he wasn't interested in lol) and tell him goodnight. I told him goodnight at the exact time of his birth-9:04 PM-which was really sweet! We did eat at Mamo's (my mom's) the night before and he even had a cupcake with a candle on it to blow out. He ate the cupcake with one hand and his ice cream with the other hehe. Mamo spoiled him with clothes and LaLa (my sister, Lisa) gave him a bowling set which he loves!

On his actual birthday in some of the clothes Mamo gave him!

I took him to the doctor (D says "daw-cker?") yesterday for his 2 year checkup. Here's his stats:
height: 36.75 inches (97%)
weight: 29.9 lbs (75%)
head: 19.5 cm (75%)
The doctor kept commenting on how tall he is! She said he'll probably be 6' or 6'2" full grown. I found on this site that he may even be 6'4"! If you knew my grandpa (6'2" I think-he seemed giant to me!) or know my cousin, Cameron(6'4"), you may not be as surprised by this!

The doctor also kept saying how cute he is! I must agree!! She said he's right on track developmentally and probably a little advanced in his speech. She was very impressed with his knowing all his animals and their sounds (and they have animals painted on the wall so D had to tell her while we were there "sheep?" "tow (cow)?"!). He's perfectly healthy! His tubes are out of his eardrums but still in his ears and apparently bugging him. She told me how to deal with that, too. He had an ear infection two weeks ago but it was his first since February so that's great!

At the doctor appointment. Can you guess what he did next? He turned off the light! He is so ornery! He would turn it off and say "Uh Oh"!

We are amazed with Dillon and more in love with him everyday! I'm sorry I don't update this blog more often! I am trying to do better about blogging in general as I somehow have gotten myself into blogging for 4 separate blogs (shameless plug for my environmental blog I share, shameless plug for my career/school/dreams blog, shameless plug for the local Democratic blog to which I contribute)! Shane says I neglect this one because I'm comfortable in my role as mother so I don't feel a need to write about it. I know all of you want updates on my guy though so I'll TRY to do better!!
