OUR BABY IS 2!!!!

CY’s 2 year UPDATE..

PARROT – Cy will copy anything and EVERYTHING everyone says! It’s cute, but also can be very scary! Haha.. We have to watch what we say, for sure. He speaks so well now!! He says sentences and half the time I’m the only one that understands most of what he is saying, but he talks up a storm!

PICKY EATER – This kid is the PICKIEST eater EVER!! His 4 basic food groups are Seimini (Top Ramen), Pizza, French Fries and cookies!! Healthy, I know! He will have an occasional apple or banana, but dislikes veggies and MEAT at the moment!! MEAT? Weird, hu? Don’t ask me how he is such a TANK, he hardly eats!! He really likes the SOUP from PF Changs! haha..

We attempted a bib here, at PF Changs...

Cy usually gets to make a mess when he eats at home.. and No, he won't wear a bib! haha..

• BASKETBALL! BASKETBALL! And MORE BASKETBALL!! Cy can sit and play basketball ALL DAY LONG!! He LOVES it when he has an audience to clap for him when he makes a shot.. He always says “Shoot it like Kobe” haha.. Wonder who taught him that? He doesn’t like the basketball hoop to be at his level or anywhere NEAR it.. He likes it to be at the HIGHEST level, and if it isn’t he says, “HIGHER” until it’s at the top level!! He’s actually really good at it, but I’m sure it’s because he plays 24/7

ARTIST – Cy is a little artist! He LOVES to draw, color, paint, etc.. He wants to draw all the time! Anytime anyone is writing anything, he says, “Cy draw” (yes, my son speaks in 3rd person at times).. haha.. He is actually a really good drawer! He draws all different things from lines to circles.. He LOVES to draw!! He gets that from his creative Connie side! ;) Sometimes when Joe is doing his homework he will say, “I wanna draw, it my homework” haha.. He likes to pretend to do homework like Uncle Joe.

• TRIPLE THREAT – Cy has for SURE gotten some singing, dancing and acting skills from both his Uncle Jaymz and Uncle Joe!! This kid will dance to ANYTHING as long as it has a beat! Haha.. He also LOVES to sing!! He is singing anytime he isn’t talking! He picks up on lyrics very quick and will walk around the house singing songs he learned in nursery or heard on the radio. His favorite right now (as much as Collin hates to admit) is Hannah Montana!! Haha.. Anytime we get in the car he says, “Mommy, I wanna Montana” haha.. So I have to put on the song “Best of both worlds” then he says, "Turn it UP" and he just sings along to it.. He knows every word! Haha.. Cy knows that we don’t get to listen to it if daddy is in the car! LOL…

• BLUES CLUES – Cy STILL loves to watch Blues Clues! I think that’s part of the reason he loves to draw.. He has a notebook that he carries around and puts his pencil in the spiral side when he isn’t using it (like Steve does on Blues Clues).. We can get Cy to calm down from ANY state if we mention Blues Clues! Haha.. He would really watch that show for HOURS at a time if we let him!!
  


• “MINE” – As much as I don’t like that word “mine” – I think it’s so cute (for now) when Cy thinks that EVERYTHING is his!! Haha… That’s his latest thing.. Gramma will be wearing her glasses and he will say, “Those my glasses” and then put out his hand for her to give them to him. Cy LOVES wearing gramma's glasses. The other day we were outside and he tells me, “mommy – you see my garden?” haha.. I said, “that’s gramma and grandpas garden” and he was a little upset about that.. he said, “No, dat CY’S garden” So, pretty much everything he sees he owns! Haha..

Cy LOVES to wear gramma's glasses.. Of course, he thinks they are his! ;)

Cy is a good helper! He loves to help gramma in the garden!!

• BOOKS – Cy LOVES to read!! He has his favorites at the moment, “Monkey Tumbles”, “Wacky Wednesday”, and “Goodnight Moon” – those are ones he pretty much has memorized, but he will sit with me to read ANY book!! He also loves puzzles! He hasn’t quite mastered them yet, but he likes to take them apart and try to put them back together with my help.

• OUTSIDE – Cy LOVES to be outside!! It was really warm for awhile, and he was outside everyday with gramma for HOURS!! His favorite thing to do is “Bouncy bouncy” which is jumping on the tramp! It took him half a day to figure the tramp out! He didn’t quite get the jumping technique down right away.. We would really have to bribe him with something to come back inside as it was getting dark or cold. Poor Cy was really confused when all of the sudden it was too COLD to go outside! He would ask EVERYONE in sight if they would take him outside and he always got the same answer, “No Cy, it’s too cold” til finally he started saying, “NOT TOO COLD – Bouncy Bouncy!” It will be nice to let Cy play outside when it warms up again!

• SWIMMING – Cy loves to swim! We hardly ever go because I’m a little disgusted at indoor swimming pools, but we stayed at a hotel in SLC for my birthday and brought Cy up to go swimming and he LOVED it!! He loves to swim! He didn’t even want us to hold him! He thought he could just swim all by himself.. Umm.. NOT YET buddy! I can’t wait to get him into lessons – he will love it! He likes to pretend he is swimming when he takes baths.. It’s so funny. He is ALL OVER the place in the bath tub and makes the BIGGEST mess because he thinks he’s “swimming”! Haha..

• CLIMBER – Cy climbs on EVERYTHING!! I’m surprised he hasn’t had more accidents **knock on wood** because he LOVES to climb on chairs, tables and couches and JUMP! He likes to jump on them like he is jumping on the tramp.. When he climbs on big chairs he doesn’t just climb on the seat part, he likes to climb on the HIGHEST part of the chair and straddle it til he almost falls off!! Scares the crap out of me, but he hardly ever falls, which is good.. he must have good balance! ;) Once again, **knock on wood**
  
• BLOCKS - Cy has been really into building little houses with his BLOCKS lately.. He likes to build a little "house" and stand inside of it and then knock it down like a MONSTER!
  

That's all I can think of for now.. Cy can sing almost every nursery song. He can count to 14 (random number, I know) and sing his ABC's. He can also ALMOST recite the 1st Article of Faith. We are so proud of you, son! We love you SO MUCH and you are such a good boy and you bring so much JOY to our lives!! We love you little man! Happy Birthday! :)
