Wow did we fall behind!

Sorry for the delay in post, we have been busy with Christmas, Duke's Birthday, the New Year, and soooo much more! 

Whats new with Duke?  He is officially the big 2!!  He had a wonderful birthday filled with presents and family.  Some big toys for him this year were a new trike, trains, legos, and flash cards.  The boy loves flashcards and trains!  He also loves this big ABC puzzle he got from Grandma Schmitt for Christmas along with a leaf blower but we are hiding that from him for now, shhhh :)

Duke weighs in at 28lbs and I forget his height, thinking it was around 32"  but I will have to check that again......This mommy brain has really taken affect.  He can drink from a cup all by himself, while mom and dad sit at the edge of his chair waiting for him to spill.  He loves to put full sentences together which means it is a little harder to understand him.  We call him Mr. Repeat as he will repeat anything you say.  Duke still loves to run and jump all around the house couch or from anything he feels he can climb.  He likes to "work" meaning help dad with any project around the house including putting his new train table together.  Duke has also called his sister pretty but there are sometimes where he is a little jealous of her attention she brings, but who wouldn't ;)

Food he loves: Pickles, Cheetos,  Hot Dogs, any Fruit, Peas & Corn, Peanut Butter Crackers, Ice Cream and Cake

He now loves to use ketchup and BBQ sauce when mom and dad do - loves to dip

Loves Blake Shelton and Justin Beaver (spelled wrong)

Loves to wrestle with dad

Some of the funny things Duke tells us:
Mom its cold, turn the heat up
Dad wash the table off
I do that
I do not want to
Can sing the ABC's
Will sing Twinkle Little Star
OMG there are soooo many mom needs to start writing them down so she can keep track so stay tuned.

Here are some photos to catch you up!

Tired after a fun day at Daycare playing in the snow!

Christmas tradition, baking cookies.  Yes our cookies had lots of sprinkles!

Put his boots on by himself but just didn't have the heart to tell him they were on the wrong feet as he was so proud.

Yup I am 2 and I have my moments

Dad had a screw in his mouth so Duke needed one.

What a Year this boy brought us!

Every Birthday we surprise Duke with Balloons in the morning with a pancake candle breakfast

He had to taste the cookies we put out for Santa

Enjoying his own computer time.

Had to take him for a run to get some energy out.

Having popcorn and trying to fit as much in his mouth as he can.

At Sky Zone jumping!

Teaching London how to be on the look out.

Testing out London's swing.

Using all our new paint supplies

Loving time with baby Veda!!  Who will be joining Duke at Daycare, we are sooo excited.

Yup I need to help dad!

Duke loves to run around Target, he now tells us to go to the store when we are out of pickles, juice or any food he wants.  "Mom go to the store!"

We love to play tea together!
