Campbell | 2.5

Campbell is 2.5 years old today! I wanted to post a little update on him for my records :)

Weight: 28 pounds.

Sleep: Campbell's day starts at 7:00 AM and ends at 8:00 PM. He takes one nap a day around 1:30-2:00 and sleeps for about 2 hours. Campbell sleeps in his big boy bed and sleeps perfectly in it!

Eat: Ugh Campbell is the worst eater ever. Occasionally he'll shock us by eating really great but that's rare. His typical menu consists of: fruit loops, applesauce, yogurt, PB&J, pasta (seasoned with olive oil and butter only), peas, sweet potato fries, tomatoes, orange juice, quiche, carrots, hashbrown casserole, granola bars, cheese (but only if it's shredded), cheese quesadilla, corn dogs and any and all fruit. He would prefer to just eat the trail mix I make him (goldfish, fruit loops, craisins, and yogurt melts) for every meal. That's his favorite.

Clothes: Campbell wears size 12-18 month shorts and pants, size 18-24 month and/or 2T tops, and size 2T Kickee Pants pajamas. He wears size 6 or 7 shoes.

Favorite Toys: Campbell still loves stacking. Any kind of stacking toy is his go-to but his favorite thing to stack is his blocks. He has really gotten into puzzles lately. Campbell loves lego duplos, trains, and tools. He also enjoys lining his toys up in a long straight line.

Favorite Books: Love Monster, The Three Little Pigs, and Little Blue Truck Saves The Day.

Favorite TV Shows: Sheriff Callie, Mickey Mouse, PJ Masks, Goldie and Bear, and Little Einsteins.

Big Brother Role: I tell Campbell all the time that he is the best and sweetest big brother! He is so good to Bennett. The first thing he does every morning is walk up to Bennett and give him a big kiss on his head. He likes to take baths with Bennett and whenever Bennett is laying on the floor Campbell lays right down beside him. He doesn't mind at all that Bennett has taken some of the attention away from him because Campbell adores Bennett and is so glad to have him be a part of our family now! Campbell calls Bennett "Boo." We have no idea where that came from but we love it so we call Bennett "Boo" now too!

All About Campbell: Campbell is still such a sweet little boy. He goes to Mothers Day Out twice a week and he absolutely loves it. They are his favorite days for sure. He really loves to read books especially before bedtime. It's always "one more book?!" and I almost always can't resist. Campbell is a cuddler and when we're sitting on the couch or lounging in bed he'll look at you and say "snuggle?" Campbell is in the stage of testing boundaries and it can be frustrating but we also know it's just him learning right from wrong. Because of this, he probably says "I sorry Ma!" about 182 times a day. He is slowly becoming less baby and so much more of a big boy now. I sometimes watch in amazement at how much he's grown up just in these last few months. Everything about him is so different. I love the little boy he's growing up to be and I hope he is always this sweet and kind. Campbell makes me so proud in so many ways and being his Mommy is the best thing in the world.
