Two Year Facts

We took Roman to his 2 year check up yesterday and he's doing great! The doctor can completely tell a difference in his speech since his adenoid and ear tube surgery.

Here are his statistics:

Weight: 30 lbs - 75%

Height: 34-1/2" - 50%

Head Circ.: 19-1/2" - 75%

Roman is growing so fast!!! Here are some fun facts about our little man:

• Roman loves to eat meat! He's a steak eating machine! Such a boy!
  
• Roman sleeps from 8pm to 8am every day and takes a nap usually around 1-3pm
• He is not usually affectionate, but will sometimes stop and give Momma and Dadda hugs. They are so special and precious to us! I sometimes even get a little kiss on the lips!
• Roman loves the Barney song and requests it often by anyone who will sing it. "I love you, You love me..." (you get it!)
• Roman still sleeps with his dabba (metal measuring cup) and knot. Knot is his blanket that has a knot tied at one end. Silly boy! Sometimes when he wakes in the mornings, I'll hear him hitting his leg with dabba and telling dabba no! How funny?!
• Roman started playing pretend a lot! We pretend feed Barney the stuffed animal milk and we brush Barney's teeth.
• Roman loves the Black Eyed Peas song, 'I Gotta Feeling'. I used to like the song too! Until I downloaded it on iTunes and now we listen to it in the car, after dinner, pretty much anytime! He dances around to the song all of the time! He calls it "who who". So funny!!
• Roman loves mimicking his daddy at everything he does! I noticed him watering the plants like daddy just yesterday. What a great role model to have!
• Roman has started the stall tactic before nap time and bedtime. He will suggest things like he needs more water or needs to brush his teeth again. Smart little fella!

Here he is stalling by trying to color before bed last night!

• Roman is in the process of learning his letters. He now can always pick out the letters 'D', 'T', 'W', 'O', and sometimes 'A', 'B', and 'C'. We love the Leap Frog Letter Factory movie and refrigerator letters. They're so helpful!
• Roman's favorite color is definitely blue! He also can pick out green, orange, red, and black. We try to go over colors all of the time. He loves to look at the stop lights and yell, "green" when it changes and is time to go!
• Roman loves airplanes and yells, "airplane" when he hears one outside. It's so cute that he can also already associate airplanes with his daddy!
• Roman will probably have to have surgery again! He still has an umbilical hernia. The pediatrician recommended we speak with a surgeon this calendar year. Poor thing! That would be 3 surgeries before he turns 3 years old!

We love you, sweet Roman, so much!! You have blessed our lives more than you could possibly imagine!!! It is so bitter sweet to see you grow up so fast! We are so proud of you and all that you do. We are your biggest fans!

Love, Momma and Dadda
