chuga chuga choo choo carter is 2

How can he already be 2? We no longer have a baby, he is definitely a toddler and on his way fast to becoming a little boy. He is such a little joy and a little monster all at the same time! He has this sly little grin that makes it very difficult for me to stay strong and discipline him…But I do most of the time. :)
Some fun things about Carter at this age. He is in LOVE with Elway our yellow lab. Elway now sleeps in his room and we have found him more than once asleep on the floor with his head using Elway’s body as a pillow. He is talking much more and even in sentences. He tries to do everything his big sister does. He likes to read, color, work puzzles and play with cars/trucks/trains but most of all he LOVES to wrestle. He wrestles his friends at school, Ella Catherine, Matt, poor Elway and on occasion even momma. He would rather be outside than inside. He is an eater. He is still not a fan of a lot of veggies but we are working on them. He drinks from a regular cup and loves to say “hey (insert name) watch this” right before he takes a drink. Right now he is using both hands so we can’t tell if he will be a righty or a lefty. He is a fish. He scares his momma because he has very little fear of the water. He calls Ella Catherine "E" for sissy. (We hope this sticks because we think it is too cute!)
At his yearly checkup he weighed 30lbs 15oz and was almost 42inches tall. He continues to be on the big side for his age and as always his head circumference is >95%...lots of brains in that head. :)
To celebrate his big day, he had a party at school with his friends on Friday and then Saturday all the grandparents came over for a family celebration. He had a great time and we couldn’t be happier to be celebrating our little miracle.
