Two and a Half Years Old


  Now that Hank is 2 1/2 years old, here's what's going on  . . .
  • Hank weighs 27 pounds and is 35 1/2 inches long.  This puts him in the 25th%ile for both height and weight.
  • Hank began potty training this week.  He is catching on quickly, but has a ways to go.
  • Hank naps 2 - 2 1/2 hours a day and sleeps 12 hours at night.  All naps and bedtimes are made possible by Blue Blanket and Green Blanket.  Hank still sleeps in a crib.
  • Hank loves to bake, particularly when he gets to lick to bowl at the end.  His favorite foods are fummins (muffins), froo fries (french fries), apples, smoothies, big corn (corn on the cob) soup (with no lumpy things in it), skettis (spaghetti), soybeans, juice and chocolate milk.  He is still a self proclaimed vegetarian (except for an occasional piece of turkey bacon). 
  • Hank is very much into helping with household chores such as laundry, sweeping and cleaning the toilets.
  • Hank has many nicknames . . . Hankasaurus, Hankapotamus, Hankster, Hankie. 
  • Hank loves the water, from puddles to the pool.
  • Favorite toys include trains, trucks and musical instruments.
  • Tickle Time is his favorite game.
  • Books about trains, trucks and dinosaurs are at the top of his list.
  • Hank has now seen two movies (bits at a time, but movies still) - Cars and Finding Nemo.  He loves them both.
  • Hank is very much into his Daddy.  He is often quoted as saying, "Go way Mommy, please.  Bye, bye, Mommy, please."
  • Hank no longer fears haircuts. 
  • Hank can count up to 12.  He's learning the alphabet song and is proud to sing it to anyone who will listen.
