Seemingly overnight, my baby boy has transformed from a sweet and cuddly baby to a rambunctious, free-spirited (see also: tazmanian devil of energy. As I am typing this, he is currently kicking the walls and singing to himself in his crib for "nap time"), and still pretty-sweet-most-of-the-time toddler!
Some of the things that Uriah loves currently as a 2 year old are:
-the movies Sing, Moana, and Robin Hood (he can "quote" these movies as he watches, ask Aunty Beth! Wonder who he gets that from...?)
 |
| Uriah was SO excited by this gift Doug Arbon made for us. He carved and painted Maui's fish hook, and Uriah absolutely LOVES it! |
-Building towers with his blocks
-"Reading" books on his own
-eating EVERYTHING that is not a normal food source (e.g., Sophie's dog food, playground wood chips, paper, etc)
-smelling EVERYTHING (food, paper, his BUTT. Yes, he is a boy and already proving to like gross things)
-Jumping! On his trampoline, on our couch, on the floor, on his crib! Anywhere there is a surface he can stand on, he will jump on it!
-Doing crib gymnastics during nap time (we have viewed him on the baby monitor literally doing headstands)
-Hot dogs, pizza, animal crackers, cottage cheese, fruit (veggies are less edible in his eyes than Sophie's dog food, wood chips, paper, etc)
-his little brother, Elijah. He is OBSESSED. Very sweet and gentle, but also exasperating in how frequently he wants to kiss or touch his brother! I try to be gentle in my policing, because I love that he is sweet with Elijah, but also want Elijah to survive Uriah's version of affection. lol

| Very sweet. Very touchy. But mostly, sweetly touchy. |

| We love this silly little guy! |

| Enjoying yummy birthday cake and ice cream! Daddy frosted the cake |

| Happy boy opening presents! Among the favorites: A helicopter and water guns! |
