David Update

David is now 2 years and 3 months and has changed so much the past few months. I've been meaning to blog about him for a while... He has so many funny habits. My favorite thing he does is sing before bed. While it keeps Presley, Anna, and all of us awake... it's so funny to hear him belt out "Ba, Ba Black Sheep." He used to sing "Ba Ba, Ba Ba, I ne ne..." then trail off into "Mama, Dada, Anna, Presley, David..." He just this past month started singing it the right way, as best he can and it's precious. He also just started saying Presley instead of calling her Pre. He is growing up too fast!

His other favorite phrase is "Right Dere" when he's saying Right There. It's one of our favorite things he says.

His passion right now is "Dunk!" He goes to Dunkin Donuts with Cameron every Saturday and Sunday and the Dunkin ladies love him. He gets handed donut holes when he walks in the door. One the occasions where I go too, I'll stay in the car with the kids and the ladies send out donut holes to the car for him! It's pretty ridiculous, but he is Dunkin royalty! He will eat 2 large, glazed donuts before coming home.

David's favorite toy right now is any car/truck/motorcyle (momo)/train/ and his Mater. We gave him the Mater for his second birthday and he loves to ride it around in the house. He just grins and takes off.

This sweet man has so much energy and definitely keeps me on my toes! He loves to eat and we're working on getting him to eat more protein and calorie-dense foods to help him increase weight. At last weigh-in, he was 24lbs. We just discovered he loves jerky! Who would have thought... he still doesn't eat many sweets. He only likes m and m's, will eat a bite of a cookie, no milkshakes or ice cream. I think he'll eventually like sour things like his daddy. He still sleeps pretty good and takes a daily nap.
He is talking more and more. He repeats EVERYTHING that Presley says! He follows her around and will pretty much do anything she wants- put on shows, sing crazy songs, play dogs/animals, anything. He pesters her like a good, younger brother should, but they also play so well together and have so much fun. I'm so glad they have each other. It's pretty obvious Anna can't wait to get in on the action with them.

David still loves her so much and gives her so much attention. He hugs her constantly, kisses all over her and loves to make her laugh. He's going to be such a great big brother and I know he and Anna will be just as close as he is with Presley.

He loves to throw the ball with me or Cameron. He's got a really good arm and is definitely a lefty! I can't wait till he can start playing sports because he is very coordinated.

We love you so much, David!!
