Chan Turns Two, Too!













This weekend Channing turned two. Because of his older brother, Channing usually asks for things followed by 'too!' . ex: Christian asks for Milk. Channing says : Milk, Too! However, since Channing is so used to requesting things after his brother, he usually adds 'too!' to any request he makes solo.

Super cute.

Chan has snuck into a very, very special place in P and I's hearts. He is so sweet, so helpful.

-He is awesome at helping. In fact, for a really long time now, he gets upset if you don't let him help clean. (I'm okay with that... )
-He still sucks his two fingers. Since day 1. :)
-He loves his blankie.
-He "wants to hold you" when he feels sad, tired, or snuggly.
-He loves to sing the ABCs and does suprisingly well. Granted, he does leave out big chunks, but considering he just turned two, we're impressed.
-Only in the last 2 months or so has he been able to say 'Christian'. This was a favorite of ours- to hear him calling after his brother "Channing! Come here!" or "No, Channing! Stop!"
-He is a really good speaker and has a very large vocabulary.
-He can carry on a legitimate 5+ min. phone conversation. Love it.
-He loves to pray.
-He loves pushing things around. His lawnmower outside, laundry baskets inside- he loves it.
-His loves right now: Cars, Lightning McQueen, Buzz and Woody, He-man, playing outside, balls, books, bubble baths, coloring, being a lion and dancing.
-He can't jump. And its hilarious to watch him try. :)
-His dancing is like a lopsided-frankenstein-going-in-circles. It, too, is awesome.
-he loves going 'peep' on the toilet. and is pretty good at telling us when he needs to go. (for a just-barely-turned-2-boy)

Oh chan. ChanMan. Channing. We love you so much!

I am so sorry that I have not seen this before now. Channing is really cute both in his looks and his words and actions.

I am really impressed with the party planning.

The cookie monster bean bag game is awesome. Have you tried to sell copies of it from your store? You should. This really out does the clown that I made when you were little.

We are excited to see you at the reunion in a few weeks.

Love,

Dad Hadfield
