So
we're a little bit late to the party shall we say. We're almost 4
months into Oliver being 2, so we're pretty much doing a 2 and half
year update. Where do I begin!
Growth
I don't have any
of his weight and height stats because he hasn't been weighed for
while. He's currently in size 2-3 year clothing mainly because of his
height, he still fits into a few of his 18 – 24 months clothes,
he's not grown of them weight wise its mainly height and length wise
you can see that things like jeans still fit perfectly around his
waist but they bite at his ankles, its the same with tops and jumpers
ect they fit perfectly around his belly and shoulders but are too
short in the arm whereas the bigger size looks baggy but fit
perfectly length-wise.
Development
Development
wise I think he's doing incredibly well. He talks and has a wide
range of vocabulary. He strings words together but only 2 or 3 at a
time so we're currently working on that with him. Motor skill wise
he's doing brilliantly he can hold a pen, pencil or crayon perfectly
and draw (my living room walls are proof of that one!), he is able to
use a fork ad spoon effectively we're working on him being able to
use a knife. He enjoys using the tool kit he received as a gift for
Christmas to repair his cars and other toys. He is also able to get press all the small buttons on his toys and find the switches to turn them on and off. He also enjoys doing the same with the light switches the cheeky devil! He can currently count to 3, he also seems to have a thing for colour yellow I don't know why (probably because its the colour of Rubble from the paw patrol!) He's able to jump especially when it comes to lovely big muddy puddles! He's also good at throwing and will climb absolutely anything and everything if we let him! We've got his developmental review at the end of the month so we shall see how he gets on then too.
Routine
We have a routine that we try to stick to as much as we can, some days we stick to it, other days it goes completely out the window. Oliver tends to wake up around 6.30/7am most days. He no longer naps anymore only occasionally napping in the car or buggy if we're out. It's just something he's cut out himself, some days he's okay and other days we get to just before teatime and he's got a massive grump on because he's tired. He then has dinner about 5/5.30 has a bath and then we settle him down to bed about 6.30. He still has a bottle of milk that for bed that we put him to bed with and he'll often only drink half of it before falling asleep. Sometimes he'll wake up in the night and sometimes he doesn't.
He's completely obsessed with Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam and Bing at the moment, he's at that stage where if we watch anything especially Fireman Sam he grabs his fire truck climbs up on to me or Ben at that's where he stays.
He's definitely in the terrible two's giving us attitude, he knows what he wants and knows how to get it the cheeky devil. He's incredibly stubborn sometimes but then that's what you get when me and Ben are his parents. When he's not being all of the above he's loving kind caring and especially loves pulling up my top to kiss my belly where his little sister is nestled up at the moment.
We've got his 2 year check at the end of the month, so we shall see how he gets on with that and if there's any more to update you on.
