Two

Alec is two today, or in other words he is 24 months.
So here we go with 24 things that make Alec, Alec.

(as much as I love to play dress up with Alec, sometimes nothing is cuter than a good ol' onesie)

1. Athlete. He is such a stud. He plays football and basketball all day every day. He has incredible aim. Always asking to play hoops everywhere he goes.
2. Hats. Have you ever seen this kid without a hat? Me neither.
3. Social. He loves to be around other people.
4. Girls. He is already girl crazy. He especially loves the older ladies. And by older I mean 4ish year olds.
5. Slop. For the past year he has eaten the same slop for every meal.
6. Shoes. Loves to grab his shoes and sit on the stairs or his chairs while we put them on. He is starting to have a preference.
7. Blanket. His blanket can make all wrong things right.
8. Kisses. Loves to give dadda, mommy and especially baby Ava kisses.
9. The Lion King. Or as Alec says, "Sima" (Simba). For the past three months this show has been on a constant reel in our home.
10. Hercules. Occasionally "Leeeeez" was thrown in the mix.
11. Signing Times. Lately Baby Signing Times has made a comeback.
12. Sleep. 7:30 pm to 7:30 am. Heavenly!
13. Naps. Like a bear he has been going down from 12:30 to 3:30ish.
14. Busy. Always has to be doing something. If 9am rolls around and we haven't left the house yet, he stands by the door and says, "wanna go!"
15. Dessert mooch. Will not touch real food, but stands at our feet like a little baby bird chirping, "more, more, more" whenever we eat sweets.
16. Words. Has started to use his words the past couple of months. Mostly sticks to one-two word phrases.
17. Poop. Is it wrong that we think it is hilarious to watch him "hide" while he is pooping? He then comes up to us and tells us that he has "a poooooooo?"
18. Toots. He looks at us and laughs when he toots. We can't help but laugh as well. At what age is it gross and annoying? For now we think it is pretty cute.
19. Hoarder. He can have 5 graham crackers in his hand, 2 in is mouth and somehow still begs for more.
20. Clean Freak. Will not tolerate anything sticky, gooey or slimy on his hands. Loves to get his hands sanitized.
21. "I'm okay", he says sweetly while shaking his hands. This is his adorable way of saying no.
22. Laugh. So quick to laugh. Really picks up on social cues from others.
23. Balls. His favorite toy. It never gets old. I adore watching him play! We cannot wait for little leagues!
24. Confident. This little kid struts around like he owns the world.

Happy Birthday! I love, love, love you Son!
