What I found behind our couch today

This little guy also tried shaving his upper lip yesterday, which resulted in two horizontal slices to the top lip and a lot of bloody rags. He claims he was just trying to be like daddy. After finding this today and the shaving incident yesterday I realize I need to watch little B a bit closer.

One of these kids is not like the others

So the stats are in. Little M had his two year check up. These are his percentiles 35.69% Weight, 48.94% Length, Head...Drumroll.......93.0%. I was very pleased to see that his head is not off the charts anymore! I knew he was looking a bit more proportionate.
All was going well with the appointment until the Dr. asked how many words little M was saying. I said "about six, and really he can't finish any of his words, ex: ma, da, ba, do, moe and his favorite word Ah, but if you count mouthing words he can say a lot more". The doctor replied "mouthing words does not count, and neither do the other words because those are not words." So he suggested that I get him evaluated by "kids on the move" to see if he is eligible for speech therapy. Well those stats are also in, and he is eligible. He is in the 1% for speech in his age group. The nice lady who came and assessed him said he is speaking about how a 14 month old would speak. So really only 10 months behind.
Honestly I was not too shocked because I have been worried about his speech for a while, I am just glad we can start working on it, although there is something about him not talking that makes him still seem like a baby and I love it. So I am just going to enjoy him and not stress about the stats.

TWO

Our little baby is TWO! Honestly I don't think the "terrible two's" will ever apply to him, his sweet little smile matches his personality perfectly. Maybe I should wait to say that after he starts talking but even though he is not very vocal and is actually mouthing his words rather than saying them, he knows exactly what he wants and he always seems to find a way to get it.
" Yay, my guests are here!"
It doesn't take long to figure these out

This is what Maxwell pictures usually look like, but I love that head!
