Our little baby Shane Shane turned two. What?! Yes, it's true. He is still the joy in our lives, just with a 2 year old temper!
My parents came down for his birthday from Idaho. We decided at the last minute to skip the big party and just go on a fun outing that Shane would love. We went to the Farm Country, and, yes, he did love it! Shane loves farm animals. He loves to yell "COW!!" and "PEE!" (pig), and other farm animal names. He even rode a pony for his birthday. It was fun and laid back, just how I like it.
After the farm, we came home for dinner and dessert. Shane doesn't seem to be a big fan of cake, so I made brownie sundaes. We sang to him and then he opened his presents.
I tried to get a few good pictures of Shane in his "birthday boy" shirt, but he refused to smile. What a little stinker!
Some stats on Shane:
height: 32.5 inches (10%)
weight: 23 lbs 8 oz (10%)
favorite foods: strawberries, cereal, chicken nuggets, oatmeal
favorite activities: going outside, watching "Petting Farm", playing on the swings and slide
His names for our family: Mommy, Daddy, Eeee (Corinne), Mah or mum (Matt), Ayah! (Allie)
Progress in speech: Shane still works with Kids on the Move for his speech. He is only mildly delayed now, and he has made HUGE progress over the last couple of months. He repeats anything we ask him to say, and he's starting to make spontaneous requests, like asking for water ("wow") or to go outside ("Side"). He is even putting two words together too.
Favorite words or phrases: cereal (ee oh ee oh ee oh...), "oh yeah!", "anoo" (animals), "bye!" (which he says to everyone), "bye bye" (requesting to listen to his favorite song, NSync's Bye Bye Bye), "saucy" (sausage)
We love you Shane!!
