John enjoying a celery stick at 9am...he went into the fridge and picked it out himself!
Waving hello from his new playhouse
Happy Birthday to you!! Already a 2 year old.
Easter egg hunting with Payton...it was difficult to get them to put the eggs in the basket without opening them first.
John has had a busy April so far and we aren't even through the month yet! He had fun Easters at Payton's Friday night and at Gma Joan's Sunday. He loved finding eggs and opening them on the spot, spilling the contents in the grass, then going to find another one. The next big event was his birthday of course! We had a small family party Sunday night where John hit the mother-load for awesome presents...sandbox, playhouse, wheelbarrow, scooter, 4T clothes, puzzles, vacuums, race cars and more. I thought he would be overloaded with all the grown-ups and attention, since he and Payton were the only little ones there, but he was very social and playful all night. He even gave a hug to the gift giver after we opened each gift and ate some delicious ice cream cake (even though he doesn't like sweets that much). It was nice to see so many grand and great grand parents for John to know and love! He is a very lucky kid. Now he spends his sunny days enjoying his new and old toys every minute he can. We went to his 2-yr check up yesterday and the doc says John looks strong and healthy (which we already knew of course!). He weighs 35lbs and is exactly 3 feet tall which puts him in the 97% for size...where he's been since he was born! The doc contends that he is big but is not concerned about his weight or size since he has stayed in the same % since birth and will "just be a big boy". There was a shot in the leg but John was quick to recover and finish eating his beloved apple. A visit to the doc no longer wears him out or slows him down like when he was a baby...nothing really does come to think about it! He is super active and loves to showoff his speed and strength and will beam a coy smile to any lady we encounter during our errands and outings. I can't wait till it is warm enough to get this boy in the pool...he is going to be a great swimmer!
