TWO!!!

Deacon is two!!! Can you believe it? Two years ago we were blessed with a BIG boy! Deacon arrived weighing in at 9lbs 7oz and 21 inches! His size was a reflection of what his personality was to be. He has such a strong personality. You never have to wonder how he is feeling about something. He is the first person to let you know! He is very aggresive and physical. He prefers to talk through action but his speech skills are coming around. His vocabulary has just recently increased to about 20 words (still a small vocabulary for a two year old but we are working on it). And even some of those words are in his own language, but at least they are close to the word. :-) His regular words are: Moma, Dada, nose, eyes, bye bye, nite nite, NO! (that's his favorite), bobo, rain and GO! (2nd favorite). Some newer words or modified words for him are: hanes(hands), I I (that means ice cream), bwow bwow (eye brow), tee (teeth), baw baw (pawpaw). The only words he puts together are "dat's daddy's" and he says that ALOT! Anytime he sees Jacoby's shoes, cell phone, belt, shirt, food that belongs to Jacoby, money, etc. That's all we hear "dat's daddy's". It's soooo cute! Right now Deacon loves to ride his 4 wheeler, kick a ball, watch cartoons and eat. His most favorite thing in the world right now is to be outside. He can't say outside yet, but that's okay, because remember I said he prefers to talk through action....anytime he wants to go outside, he runs and grabs YOUR shoes and MAKES you put them on....THAT means go outside! :-) We love Deacon so much and are learning more each day how to enjoy someone with such a strong personality. He is such a blessing!
