I promise that I’ll get more pictures up soon.
Absolutely in awe!

Interview with Chompy at 27 months…
So, as many of you know I am now addicted to Pinterest. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a social media site where you can “pin” things that you love for yourself and others to see. For example, I have a pin board full of DIY projects, another for yummy recipes etc. Well, one of the things that I found was a bunch of people who had done interviews with their kids at different ages so that they could all look back and remember who that child was at each age.
So, today, I decided to interview Chompy. Remember, these are his answers.

So I don’t forget…
Fun things Chompy learned recently:
What an echo is
How to pick berries and eat them off of the vine
How to say “Carry me Momma”… (boo, says Momma
That he now sleeps in a big boy bed not a “baby bed”

Momma’s hero!
A red dragonfly lands on his plastic pool. He screams. "Bad bug. Momma. Pool!". Desperate to get the offender away, he reels Momma into chasing it in circles around the yard as it lights on weeds and hedges, hides in trees and empty gardens. Finally it flies over the fence, and he exclaims "ALL GONE BAD BUG DRAGONFLY!" and cheers "Me did it Momma!". Maybe next time his momma will let him know how cool, delicate, and precious a red dragonfly is, but today, she’ll let it be the enemy!

BACK PACK!!!!!!
Chompy now gets beyond excited about his daddy’s backpack. Daddy’s backpack has been the home to Chompy’s special books and toys for safe keeping while Chompy goes to school. Since we have a couple of camping trips planned, and Chompy has his own toys that he wants to carry with him, Daddy decided that Chompy needs a backpack of his very own.
Thank you REI for again bringing this family such joy
I’ve never seen someone besides his Daddy get so excited about getting a new backpack

(an aside, look how much bigger he is than the picture behind him).

I’m 2….
At 2 I like 2:
Run
Jump
Sneak up on people and scare them
Play hide-and-seek
Color, paint, and create with play-do
Sing songs
Play puzzles and Legos
Read stories
Talk, talk, talk
Help in the garden
Pick out my clothes
Brush my teeth
Visit my family and friends
I don’t get upset very often, and when I do, I get over it pretty quickly.
We love you Chompy boy and can’t believe you’ve been with us for TWO years! We are soooooo lucky to be your parents!

22 months….
It appears that I slacked off with blogging in the last month. Oops!
Chompy turns 22 months today! Here’s what he has been up to in the last two months:
talking, talking, talking
kicking and throwing balls
building tall buildings with his blocks
LOVING his puzzles
helping Momma run lots of miles with B.O.B. for her big races
eating, eating, eating (we expect a growth spurt sometime soon)
dancing to the music
reading stories
eating with a spoon and fork
playing with his family
pointing out babies everywhere
racing from one corner of the yard to the other
chasing everyone with his bubble blower
being a happy, mostly even-tempered little guy
learning that stomping his feet will not get him what he wants
wearing the dino shirt that Momma made him.
Trying on Dadda’s shoes.
I’m going to get you.
Checking out the new “big boy” backpack for our warm weather adventures.

20 months....
Picking dandelions in the backyard.
Yep, that's right, Chompy boy is now 20 months old. Every bit of a toddler.
He was pretty happy today because he was a lucky boy and got two presents from Craigslist: this car, and this lawn mower. Props to Miss Sarah for making sure Momma got the listing (I'd been looking for a lawn mower for awhile. The car was a bonus.)
What Chompy loves as he turns 20 months:
Running
Talking (he says 80 words and learns more every day).
Building with his Duplos
Taking baths so that he can play with his bath toys with Daddy.
Playing with his cars.
Being outside to see the animals.
Pointing out babies and saying hi and bye to them.
He also says bye to every car leaving a parking lot when we are shopping....it's so funny.
Reading all the stories in his bookcase at once...and then reading them again.
Riding in his bike trailer. He now says "wheeee" any time he gets in it.
He is working on getting his incisors (and they apparently hurt)
He has learned to give a real kiss as in making the lip smacking noise instead of just get you with an open mouth or head bump.
His Uncle Matt taught him to "pound it" with fist bumps, and he now does it multiple times a day.
He has to know where all of his family and friends are at all times, so every hour or so, we go through where everyone is....i.e. Dada? He's at work. Momma? She's home with Chompy. Olivia? She's home with her mommy (we always say that Olivia is doing whatever Chompy is doing or whatever we want Chompy to be doing ;)
He finally is branching out on his solid foods. It's so funny that he'd eat whatever we gave him when he was a baby eating the pureed food I'd make him, and then refused anything when it came to solids. Now, he's finally eating the solid version of what he used to love pureed like blueberries.
He is very helpful. He'll put things in the trash, help clean up his toys, help with the laundry and dishes, pick up leaves and sticks. It's so nice :)
He still loves going riding in BOB. We have to say "do you want to go for a ride in BOB?" now because if we say "do you want to go running?" He'll start running.
He cracks himself up and thinks he's so funny. Most of the time, he is.

First Haircut…
Chompy got his first haircut this morning. As much as I hated to do it, his curls were out of control and turning into dreadlocks. So off we went…he did great!
