Griffin at 2

My sweet little treasure bear is turning two today. Queue the tissues for me as my little baby turns into a little boy. And what a little boy he is turning out to be:

- The biggest daredevil - he has already chalked up numerous scars and pretty much can't get through a day without some new bump or bruise (or in one terrible case a lost fingernail in the door!!), but oh is he tough!
- A huge lover of Nina. And who is Nina you ask? Not my future daughter-in-law, but Thomas the Train! Guess he is still having some issues pronouncing his name!
- A slang talker! Speaking of mis-pronounced names - Jasper, aka "Ah-Doo-Doo" to Griffin is actually being called "Jas-puh" on occasion, but mostly still plain old "Doo-doo"
- A LOUD communicator! Griffin's favorite way to communicate these days is to yell, and yell LOUDLY, we aren't sure if its from his ear troubles, or he's just figuring out all the ways to drive his parents nuts on a daily basis.
- A big talker! Griffin is picking up words and phrases like a sponge, he is especially fond of "Dare-go" (translation: "There you go" accompanied by a hug), and "Where's doo-doo?" (accompanied by a shoulder shrug)
- A dancer! Oh how Griffin loves to dance! Jay-z, Coldplay, Neon Trees, Baa-Baa-Black Sheep - you name it and he will rock it!
- A scholar! Griffin has taken to "baby-school" and daycare like a superstar - in fact his teachers say that he walks around like he owns the place most of the time. he has also mastered his numbers up to 18, and when done to song can pretty much recite his entire alphabet!
- A swimmer! Griff swims like a fish and we are thinking will soon pass his big brother in the lesson levels - poor Doo-doo!
- And lucky for me, mama is still his number one favorite person, although he might be battling with Doo Doo over who gets to marry me : )
