Kingston Turns 2

August 31st marked Kingston's big 2nd birthday! It's just amazing to see how much he's leaped and changed over the last couple months. Definitely acting more like a big boy, but continues to be such a sweetheart and a lover. It is funny though because like clockwork, right around the day he turned 2, he started the classic temper tantrums and fits! Good thing he's cute because he's a piece of work when he gets going!

So we can always remember, here are some specific notes about the old Kingster at 2 years old:

• Clearly says Danny, daddy and mommy, but calls Crew "two"
• Says "a sheesh. a miltch" when he wants something to drink. Miltch = milk, I get, but not sure about "sheesh"
• Calls snack "snatch" and likes them a lot. "Trash" sounds about the same, which can be confusing
• Loves eating, football and "shee-shee" (a.k.a. Mickey)
• Has just started teasing by adding "ha ha" when for example he steals Crew's spot on the couch, e.g. "I spot. Ha ha"
• Has the best belly laugh in the world
• Runs pretty fast despite being a little "round" and does so by propelling his arms around
• Goes to sleep really easily and sleeps well
• Says "mo" instead of "no"
• Has just started getting into pointing out colors. So far everything is "yeyyow"

Lucky fellow opened presents with our little family and then had a second celebration with extended family, including Martha and Ron in town from Maryland. 

Cute video Aunt Stef took (though it's sideways) of all of us singing him "Happy Birthday":

We love you so much King/Kingston Rock/Kingsters!
