CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S TWO!!!

Trevor: we've been trying to get him to poop on the potty, he'll say no when we ask if he wants to sit on the potty when he's pushing but will follow us into the bathroom and sit (especially when he gets the phone to play on), he says "rove ou" for love you, when you ask him how old he is he'll say "duu" and attempt to hold up 2 fingers, he can jump and get both feet off the ground, but his favorite is to jump on the couch and throw his feet up so he lands on his butt, he likes to "watch" movies but really just pulls the dvd case down & then watches 2-5 minutes of it and wants another one, he can say almost every letter in the alphabet, he's good at saying no, he now says "e-yah" for yes and sounds like a Swedish girl when he says it :), we switched to putting his sleepsack on backwards because he was unzipping it and taking it off while in the crib,

2 year stats: 26 lbs 7 oz (30th %), 36.25 inches tall (90th %), head is 80th %, BMI is 5% which is low so we need to continue with whole milk and trying to get lots of good calories in him. (for more on his 2 year appt see 2016 :: 6/52 post)

Trevor's been not eating very good for a couple weeks now, just doesn't eat much, won't try new things. He's also been chewing on his blankies and fingers so might have those 2 year molars moving? he's had a stuffy nose for almost 2 weeks now.

we didn't do a whole lot the beginning of this week due to snow, cold and gearing up for the birthday weekend!

Thursday morning, our birthday, I woke up at 2 am not feeling right. couple minutes later I realize I have the stomach flu and was on the toilet or puking all morning long. luckily I didn't puke any more after 530am, but still spent the whole day laying down and not eating anything or drinking much. I finally felt better about 4 pm but was weak from not eating/not having anything in me. not much of a way to spend a birthday, but I guess it's sticking with tradition of getting a flu on trevor's birthday and not getting to kiss him.

Friday morning I was feeling much better, just needed to rehydrate and fuel up, so we pretended that was our birthday. Trevor got balloons, we went and had his 2 year pictures taken, we got erb's and gerb's for lunch, and NaNa came down after nap. we went out to eat that night and had dairy queen birthday cake! we had his pictures taken at target this year because we couldn't afford gina. I don't love them like I always love Gina's pictures, but they'll do for a yearly picture. we're hoping to afford gina again next year or maybe this summer for family pictures!

Saturday was birthday party day! first, T and I went to swimming lessons. then we came home, T took a bath, and we all headed to the lily pad lab to set up for his party. the party was from 10-noon and it was a good time. the attendees were: Jodi, matt, cam, chloe, Jodi, Luke, Kassie, jake and kade (5 kids including Trevor). it was a fun space for the kids to play in, lots of toys, snacks, then present opening and cupcakes! afterwards, we all napped :) and then that night Al and I went out with Jodi, matt, jenny, kyle, Kassie, jake, joe, Emily and other predator people for Jodi and my birthdays. we did dinner at mogie's, then eventually went to the pio and then to rays. it was a good time and kinda weird to be out at bars we hadn't been to since Al was in college still. :) Al got hooked on a really cheap shot call somballa that tasted like a really sweet black jelly bean and he drank too many of them. :)

Sunday, Al had to work 11a-11p; he had gut rot and a bit of a hangover so that sucked for him. Mom stuck around until nap time, so we played and put new toys away and cleaned. it was 40+ degrees outside, so we opened all the windows and aired the house out for a couple minutes. so while Trevor napped, I cleaned out the garage and got rid of some ice on our sidewalk! then after nap, T and I went over to the neighb's house for the super bowl.
