Troop

Troop came back from Utah a toddler.

No longer is my little guy a baby.

I am not too sure how I feel about this!

I have been finding it so comical the difference between Troop and Zanna at this age.

Zanna was mischievous and into everything, as is Troop... but he is just different about the way he gets into everything.

Nothing is... mmm... graceful.

He has such force with everything he does.

He is so funny to watch.

He is always making car sounds.

Always throwing his body into the couch, the love sack, Zanna, me, his daddy.

He loves to wrestle and run. He was so excited to join in and wrestle all six of the boys we had over for joy school.

He loves to lay on the ground with a toy car and watch the wheels go round and round.

He loves books and I will often find him in his room with twenty books surrounding him.

He jumps off any ledge he is on.

He is a tantrum thrower and has NO patience.

If he is ornery and sees his reflection in the oven or in a mirror, he gets ticked off and starts hitting and yelling at his reflection (which I can't help but giggle at him.... but also hope he doesn't have some anger management issues... ha ha)

He is a total tease to his big sister and I feel like he will hit her or pull her hair so he can make up with her. He gets so excited to say sorry, give her a hug, and LOVES to kiss her. It is really cute.

He is like a little tornado around my craft things. He sees my neat little piles of felt I am cutting, sticks his hands in them and shakes them as fast as he can. Ahhh. Such a mess!

He loves meat like his daddy and doesn't like much else. Picky Picky!

His favorite word is NO and he says it to everything. I can't wait until he figures out what the word YES means.

He has a pretty amazing little scowel.

He is not gentle at all with the lizard. I know he is only 19 months but Zanna at that age was incredibly gentle with animals.

OH my Troop, how I love you and your crazy ways!! You are so totally all BOY!!!


Mmmmm he is a handsome little stink!



It is a good thing he loves to snuggle and loves giving me kisses, over and over and over again. I could kiss and squeeze him all day long!

Maybe it's a good thing you guys don't live close...because I would want to squeeze him all day!!! (I'm pretty sure that would scare the crap out of him!)

He is so stinking cute. I know what you mean about growing up so quickly, I swear Tyson did it over night. These two little guys would be good friends... or beat down partners. They both have a lot of the same qualities.
