Dawson at 2 1/2 years old


 
   Last week, Joey took Dawson to his 2 1/2 year checkup.  I made the appointment a long time ago, and didn't realize I was going to have to work on the day I made it.  So, Joey got to take him instead.  Joey said that Dawson did great at his appointment.  When the doctor came in, he immediately laid down on the exam table and was so well behaved.  He said his doctor could not believe how well behaved he was for a 2 year old.  In the last four months he has gained about two pounds.  He now weighs 28.6 pounds and is now in the 33% for his weight.  In four months he grew 2 1/2 inches!!! He is now 35.6 inches and is in the 41% for his height.  Clearly he has been doing a lot of growing this summer!!!  The doctor was very pleased with his growth and said that he is right on track with everything.  It was another great visit. 
   We really did hit the jackpot when it comes to this one.  He is such a sweet, sweet boy.  He is also such a good little boy.   He is so caring towards others.  He is a real gentleman towards his Ella.    The other day they were riding along on their little push cars.  Ella fell off of hers and  began  crying. He immediately ran over to her helped her back on and gave her a huge hug.  It was the sweetest thing ever!  He is a very mild mannered child.  He listens so well for a two year old.  He isn't perfect and does has his little meltdowns, but for the most part he is a perfect little boy.
   Dawson continues to be obsessed with trains and especially Thomas the Train.  He has quite the collection of Thomas trains.  He takes one with him every where he goes.  He loves his train table and playing with his trains.  His favorite books are his train and Thomas books.  Every night we read from the same Thomas the Train book that has special sounds to go with the stories.  He loves it.  This September my mom bought tickets for a very special Thomas the Train event.  He is going to be beside himself!
    Dawson has also really started to enjoy swimming. I think going to Great Wolf Lodge really ignited a love for swimming in him.  He loves the pool at the gym.  We went today and he was swimming around pretending he was a shark.  Dawson also absolutely loves playing in the sand.  It entertains him for hours. 
   Well, that's a brief look into Dawson's life as a 2 /12 year old.  We are having so much fun watching our little guy grow and become an amazing little boy!



He's a very goofy kid.



He is such a mama's boy and I LOVE IT!!!
