How can it be possible that Dylan is turning 2 years old? The amount of growth and change that has occurred in our son during his 2nd year is amazing.
Dylan now weighs around 25 pounds and has recently had a growth spurt, so I'm not sure how tall he is...he has recently (like in the past 3 weeks) started talking
non-stop and has a strong beginning vocabulary that focuses mostly on modes of transportation with TRAIN! at the top of the list. He speaks somewhere around 60 words.
Dylan learned to walk shortly after his first birthday, he was 13 months old and this changed our lives, there was no holding this kid back! These days he prefers to run and boy is he fast! Sometimes we have to break out in a jog to keep up with him. He runs everywhere. Dylan is experiences the world in a physical way. His motor skills are very developed for his age, he climbs up and down stairs without holding on, he jumps with 2 feet, he climbs like a monkey and loves hanging from trees and doing somersaults.
Dylan enjoys reading books before naps and bedtime and sometimes falls asleep clutching his favorite read of the evening.
Dylan is most excited by "Mas" or Thomas, as in "the train"...he has a wooden train track set that he plays with everyday for long periods of time. He also loves watching Thomas shows.
He has become more of a finicky eater lately, with rice, pesto pasta and crackers being some of the only foods he eats consistently.
Dylan is has now traveled to 7 countries and has been exposed to 3 languages (which is uses bits from all 3...he still uses the Thai word for cat).
In his 2nd year he visited the U.S., moved to Colombia, and was a tourist in both Vietnam & Guatemala. He makes friends with adults wherever he goes and I've even seen him flirt with ladies!
Dylan is a very active and spirited child, and he keeps Fuad and I on our toes. We've thrown a lot at this kid in his short life of 2 years...He is the light of my life, I simply adore my son.
