Justin is Two!

Really? Can it be two years already? I guess so!

Of course we had a mommy/Justin day since it was his big birthday. We had to go to the ophthalmologist first thing in the morning, which wasn't the best thing to do, but he made it through like a trooper. She said that his eyes still look the same, which is good. Randy and I have been concerned about a little bit of eye-crossing, which of course he didn't do for her. She said just to watch it and see if one eye was more affected than the other, when he did it, and how often. And then we got released for another year! I love the longer stints between appointments. Justin put on a little show of screaming when his eyes had to be dilated. I laid him back and he screamed while she pried his eyes open to put in the drops and the minute I set him up he stopped crying and smiled at her. Quite the little manipulator!





When we checked out at the doctor's office they were giving away some books that had been donated to the hospital. They were some books about colors and animals. Justin has really enjoyed reading it! When I out him in his seat in the car he reached for it and he actually held it and looked through it while we were driving home. At home he searches for it and plunks down on the floor with it in front of him. He flips through it several times, forwards and backwards and then even upside down. It's a bit of an impressionist painter book, and all sides are somewhat equal!





Justin has learned to master the sit and spin! He goes very...very...slowly, but still, he knows how to pull himself around! And he thinks it is tons of fun! It sits in the corner and sometimes he will try to sit on it there and make it spin. Then he yells when it doesn't quite work.

It was a pretty quiet day actually. Whenever it's mommy/Justin or Travis day I take a nap with whichever one I have. Travis loves it and Justin isn't quite sure yet. But I love being with him the whole day and not trying to cram extra stuff into the time. And we made it through the day with no practical jokes! Happy April Fool's to us and...

Happy Birthday Justin!
