Erik’s favorite saying is what are you doing? Or you’re so funny. If you ask him what he is doing, he’ll ask you again what are you doing? Kid is crazy, I swear.

He has developed a liking for fruit. To him fruit is candy. He has always liked it, but lately it’s 90% of what he wants to eat. He loves grapes, strawberries, and of course apples. He still will just bite into one and eat the whole thing. It amazes me. He’s so “funny.” Haha. He still likes his coaties best. For those of you that don’t know, that means cookies. He loves oreos. Who doesn’t?

Brandon has been trying to teach Erik how to ride his tricycle. He will sit on it and push with his feet on the ground, but won’t actually push the peddles. We’re doing it inside where there isn’t a lot of room though, so hopefully once it gets warmer we can go outside and practice. It will be nice when the lake isn’t frozen and we can teach him how to swim. If he likes it. Last year he hated anything to do with the water besides being on the boat. Hopefully that problem is gone now, since we live on the lake.

Erik’s Dr.’s appointment went well. He ended up being in the 50th percentile for his height and the 50th percentile for his weight. How more normal could he be? Can’t complain though.
When we were in FL I contracted some kind of stomach bug, and sadly passed it on to Erik. Mine last about 48 hours or so, but his lasted about 5-6 days. Poor kid. He is doing better now. Had me worried for a little while. The Dr. wanted to see him but he was doing alright so no worries.
Erik has been doing good with his vocabulary. The only color I can get him to point out is blue. He can say pretty much everything now, but has a lot of abbreviations and funny ways of saying things. Like “cookies” sounds like “goat cheese.”
He is slowly starting to be potty trained. He has finally gotten to the point of where he knows to ask to go potty, but by the time we get there he has already gone or mostly. The Dr. said that he should be potty trained any day now, so we’re working at it. He has made the first steps, and is starting to become more interested in it. He understands it now, which is good.
Erik has started saying Baba for his cup every now and then. He acquired this from his favorite cousin Caitlyn, who has stolen Erik’s word, cup, and used it. They somehow swapped. I have been told that Caitlyn can’t pronounce cup very well though, and it sounds like something else. Haha, oops.

Erik had a great 2nd birthday party. He had a really good time and was in a really good mood the entire day. His favorite new toy is his ride on disney airplane. It’s cute. He picked it out.
He got a lot of new movies, which is great for me! Helps keep my sanity!
Erik goes to the Dr. on Thursday for his 2 year check up with his new Dr. I’m excited to see what percentile he falls into now. He seems a bit bigger than other kids.
Erik is talking more and more as well. He can talk in sentences now. He will say things like “I closed the door.” We’re still working on our colors and potty training. Hopefully soon.

Well that seems about it. That I can think of at least. 94 words. I guess he’s not far behind… We’re trying!

Well Erik had an okay Thanksgiving. He decided to pitch a fit at the beginning of dinner, and during the middle/end. I ended up having to take him outside for a little while until he calmed down. When we were getting ready to leave, he saw another little girl and decided to go up and try to hug her. It was adorable.
