growing up

two has brought on lots of change.
for starters webb doesn't take a paci anymore.
the transition was super easy.
i was honestly shocked at how easy it was.
we decided that the day after he turned two the paci would be moved to the trash.
there were no fits about it.
now webb likes to joke about it which we find kinda funny.
casey was sitting with him at dinner one night and webb looked at him and said "paci!" with a big grin on his face.
then he said it over and over and was dying laughing!

we've been working on lots of things since two.
something about the age has been a big motivator.
the obvious reason being he totally gets things now and that baby brother will be here before we know it!

we've been working on manners.
he says ...

tank you-ah
saw-be
se ma'am
no ma'am
se sir
no sir
peas

the thank yous he's gotten better and better at, the rest is a work in progress.
it's really all so precious.
he's got such a southern drawl ... i just can't get enough.
is he learning that from me??

he's been saying two and three word sentences for about a month and just this week some sentences are coming out.
we've been most amazed at how he can read letters.
he won't say the entire alphabet, but if you sit with him and ask him to find an "h", "a", "r", etc on the page he will!
he's not right on everytime, but for the most part he is!
we were speechless!

his true loves are fire trucks, ambulances, trucks which he calls "eighteen-teen crucks".
he loves to play his lighting mcqueen guitar with dada.
last week casey put on a hat, sat in his "reading" chair, as we call it, and started playing his guitar.
webb went into his bedroom, got out his hat, sat in his little "webb" chair and picked up his guitar to play.
i wasn't there to witness it,and of course no picture was taken!
i can only imagine what that must have looked like!

he's starting to clue into baby brother.
he'll point at the ultrasound picture on the fridge and say "babeee broder" and he'll randomly talk about him.

so that's whats been going on these past 6 weeks.
now i'm off to decluttering.
next up ... getting webb's big room ready this month and next month potty training!!
should be interesting!
