It's Cruz's turn for an update!
He's only about 3 weeks shy of being 2 1/2.
He sure was a sweet little thang...
And now he is a sweet big guy:
This handsome fella is sure developing quite the personality.
He is really talking these days - constantly surprising us with how much he knows.
Just the other day he started counting and went up to 13 perfectly.
He also knows most of his colors.
He loves to play with Paisley.
They play house together and he's a pretty good sport about being the baby, the daddy, and occasionally the mommy.
He also likes to pretend he's a monster and chase her around the house.
He is really into the play kitchen and pretend cooking these days.
His specialities include hot dogs and strawberry pancakes. Go figure.
Speaking of food, this kid is a pretty good eater.
He has days where he is pretty much a garbage disposal.
His very favorite foods are popsicles and chips (nacho cheese doritos).
No doubt about it, this kid is pretty special.
And I am not just saying this because he has an extra tooth.
Seriously, an extra tooth came down next to his left canine (paisley calls it his triangle tooth).
The dentist said it is pretty rare but nothing to worry about. There's a good chance he will have an extra permanent tooth as well. And it really isn't even noticeable.
This kid doesn't seem to mind,
in fact he's pretty stoked that he will get an extra visit from the tooth fairy:
Cruz is a pretty typical 2 year old boy in the fact that he likes to rumble and tumble.
He enjoys cars, trucks and balls.
But he also has a pretty sensitive heart as well.
Like his older sister, he loves babies and asks to hold one every chance he gets.
He also likes to play babies with Paisley (shhh, don't tell daddy).
I think it will just make him that much greater of daddy someday.
Cruz is also an awesome sleeper!
He willingly walks downstairs for his naps and jumps into bed.
He has been taking 2-3 hour naps lately.
And still sleeps 12-13 hours a night without a peep.
Bless. his. heart.
Cruz thinks he is a big help around the house.
He used to be terrified of the vaccum, but now insists that he is the one to push it around the house.
He also loves doing dishes. Unfortunately, the kitchen floor and him end up pretty soaked at the end.
We sure have loved having this little boy in our home. He is a real hoot.
He is all boy and talks about poop and toots.
Near North Salt Lake there is an area near the freeway that smells really bad like sulfur.
The other day as we drove past this area Cruz yells out, "Mommy poo-poo? Mommy poo-poo?"
Nope. Mommy no poo-poo Cruz.
Cruz fills our lives with light and laughter.
And for this I am thankful.
Oh, and did I mention he has got some killer dance moves?
