Our Mills at 2 years, 4 months

It has been 4 months, since I last did a post on Mills.  He was two and has now reached the 28 month mark.  Wow!  Our baby, is a full fledged little boy now.
Here is what our little man is up to.

• Mills loves to say his prayers, especially at bedtime.  He always commands that I prepare my hands before prayer, and is starting to say them on his own for the most part.  I still have to coach him along at times, but he is doing great.
• He is great about saying please, thank you, and I'm sorry if he misbehaves.
• He LOVES church!  Mills asks to go to church every day, and every time we pass our church, he commands to stop.
• He is still a pretty good eater.  He eats if he wants, but if he doesn't want to eat, we try to make him eat what he will and don't force the situation.
• Mills is still a good sleeper and napper.  He loves his favorite blanket, demands to be tucked in, and HAS TO HAVE his Buzz (Thanks Kate!) and his George with him.
• His favorite show:  Bubble Guppies.  We are still waiting on the DVDs to come out, but so far they have not been located.  I am guessing it is because the show is still fairly new.  Thank you DVR.
• His favorite foods:  Mac n' cheese, pizza, green beans, any fish or chicken dish.  He loves pancakes and bacon for breakfast and is in love with fruity pebbles.  Yes, that's right.  He'll eat two bowls of them.(and three if I would let him) ha!
• Mills is so independent, just as most two year olds are.  He loves to soap himself up in the tub, attempts to blow dry his own hair, and loves putting his shoes on by himself.  Most of the time, he even gets them on the correct foot.
• He can sing his ABC's (although he skips a few and mixes things around), count to 20, knows his colors (most of them) and is great with shapes.  He even surprised me the other day when he yelled "octagon" when we got to a stop sign...hmmm. 
• Mills loves animals.  He knows their names and the sounds the make.  You should see him waddle like a penguin and pretend to spit like a camel.  ha!  Yes, he does that.  Why?  I have no clue.  It is rather comical.

It is amazing to see all our Mills is learning, accomplishing, and how much he is growing.  He is such a delight.  Hearing him say, "Mama, kiss!" or "Hug, daddy!"  melts our hearts, and he has finally started saying "Love you." 

Christmas this year is going to be a treat, and we are on the count down.  He has been singing Happy Birthday to Jesus the last couple of weeks, and I have been showing him our nativity set and explaining what it means.  At age two, I am not quite sure of what he understands, but I am not going to pass up any chance to tell him about the birth of Jesus, or "Cesus" as Mills calls Him.
