Two.

Two? That can't be right?? But yes, my little man is officially two!! I cant believe how fast these past two years have flown by and how much Dominic has changed! Look at this handsome guy!!

He absolutely has an obsession with the Disney movie Planes. He loves it! He will watch the movie 100 times in a row if we let him and he plays with his toy planes for hours on end!

He has become very independent! He wants to try and do everything on his own!

He is his sisters little shadow - following her around and wanting to do everything that she does. He is going to be lost when school starts!

His vocabulary has exploded the last couple months! He uses his words very well and even in complete sentences most of the time! He is turning into quite the chatter box!
He can also count up to 10 and will go all the way to 20 with help.

He has started asking Why? - a lot. All the time really! If you tell him something you will most likely get Why? as his response. (I didn't think that started until 3?!)

If why is his favorite word the next one would have to be mine. He says that for any toy that he is playing with or any toy that he sees and decides he wants to play with. Elena is having to learn a lot of patience with him while we work on that whole sharing thing! ;)

We haven't really started potty training yet. You can totally tell when he is going to the bathroom and when I say hey Dom, want to go in the potty? He yells back Nooo!!! So I think we will keep asking and wait a few more months until he is more ready!

He likes to refer to what we are doing with the word time behind it. Obviously we have nap time, but he will also tell us when it is eat time, pool time, play time, bike ride time...etc. :)

He is a big guy. People always think he is closer to 3 at first! We had his checkup and he is 36.5 inches long - 95th percentile, 32.5 lbs - 90th percentile. No wonder he looks almost 3!! Love my big healthy boy!

He is really a sweetheart. So snuggly and loves to give hugs - I hope he is always like this!
He adores his mama and I must say that I love it!

He loves the water - pool, splash park, bathtub, sprinklers - any kind of water he loves it.

He has gotten especially fearless in the pool too. He puts on the life jacket and is off to the races swimming away! He loves jumping in from off the side too. We will definitely be having some serious swimming lessons before next summer!

He is a great sleeper. He sleeps from about 8:30 at night to about 8:00 the next morning and takes a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon.

He wants to be his Daddy - he wants cologne if Robert puts it on, wants to wear the same shoes as him, everything that Daddy does. He even wants to have a beard like him! He felt Roberts face and said Daddy me too - and pointed to his face. So adorable.

Although planes are his absolute favorite he also loves cars and trains too. He loves anything with wheels really.

 When he asks for something and you tell him no he immediately cocks his head to the side and says awe... (Like awe man - darn it!) Its pretty adorable.
He loves to dance! He will stop everything and start dancing if there is music on! He also likes to sing and his current favorites are Rain, Rain Go Away and Happy Birthday to You (imagine that!)
He is quite possibly the cutest little guy ever!! :) But you know I'm slightly partial. ;)

So excited to see what adventures you are going to have as a big 2 year old!!
