Observations

Geoffrey's speech has been improving by leaps and bounds. He no longer says "Ses" anymore :o(

His ability to name objects still surprises Grant and I, as he will point to things and name them even though we don't know where he learned the words. He looks through his books and says titles for all of them" Fingers Thumb" (Hands Hands Fingers Thumb), Banana Peels, Mooney Go, Grover's Farm, School House, etc. He loves to ask "What's This?

He has started making sentences, "Go down stairs." "What this button do?" "Watch Thomas / Choo Choo Soul / Mickey Mouse / Little Einsteins," "That Hurts," "Oh my goodness," "WHere is my one?" "Geoffrey do it!"

 

He loves to say "Snuggles," at night to stall bed time.
 
He's also learning how to jump off of both feet. He loves to fall like a board on the bed. He's great on the balance beam at school.

He's really becoming such a big boy.

Geoff's Two year CHeck Up

Geoffrey had his first dental visit with Dr. Chu. She was very nice! We had a knee to knee pillow visit, where Geoffrey sat on my lap and layed back on a pillow on Dr. Chu's lap while she counted his teeth. He has 16 theeth, and he is just missing his last molars. She was also able to count his teeth. 

Geoffrey had his two year check up with Doctor Chang. Dr. Chang is retiring, so this was our last visit with her. He was not very happy during the visit. He was very clingy, and kept saying, "All done, go home please!" We tried to weigh him on the adult scale, but he wouldn't do it by himself, so we had weigh me holding him and then weigh just me, and we had to do his his height the baby way. He is about 27 pounds and 34 1/2 inches tall.

When Dr. Chang walked in, Geoffrey was repeating his "I'll done, go home please" request, and she seemed very impressed by his speech. I am glad she got a demonstration because he pretty much clammed up after that. He was not very cooperative - he is definaetely a two year old!

He only had one shot, in his arm this time. No real news at this visit - she talked a bit about potty training, and said to switch to low fat milk.

Next visit - three years old! We'll stay with the office and decide which doctor to see when we make our next appointment!

Geoffrey's Wish List

Geoffrey's Interests:

Geoffrey's favorite things involve transportation. He is especially interested in buses, Thomas the Train, Trucks, monorails, and cars (hot wheels.) He doesn't watch a lot of TV, but he does enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and he knows who Elmo is. Geoffrey also enjoys rhyming books with strong word patterns, such as "I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words." and certain Dr. Seuss books.

Clothes: 2T / 24 months Shoe size 6 1/2 or 7

Gear:
Potty Training is on our minds! Potty training books would be great - Grant would especially enjoy them!

Flip Slumber Chair: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (It is a little couch that folds out into a bed.) - Toys R Us / Babies R Us $45 (There is also a matching little rocking chair)

A toy box/toy chest

CD:
www.justmemusic.com - The Mickey and Friends CD with Geoffrey's name. I think "Parents" is a coupon code.

Toys (ideas):

Train set: We have a set of the old brio tracks that are up in the attic that we are going to get down and give to Geoffrey for Christmas. These tracks are compatible with the "Thomas the Tank Engine Wooden Railway." So although he doesn't need basic pieces, the add on sets, like the bridges, the actual character trains, etc. could be cute additions.

A train table (home made or bought)

A play kitchen -

The Little tikes cozy coupe (the classic red and yellow one, please).

A tent - for example -
Thomas the Tank Engine Indoor Play tent with Annie and Clarabelle cabooses

A tool set, such as Little Tikes handi worker workhorse

Easel - for example - Step 2 easel for 2
Ideal features: magnetic whiteboard, sturdy clips for paper - paper rolls not necessary,

Sit and spin - classic

Play balls (like those used in a ball pit - light, multi-colored plastic balls)

Imaginarium deluxe pounding bench

wood puzzles

Saying his name

Geoffrey has started saying his name. SO cute! GEOFF - frey.

Two more teeth

Geoffrey's bottom two incisor teeth ate coming up. The one on his left is a little farther along then the one on the right. He has been such a trooper this whole trip! Except for yesterday, he has been in a great mood! What a big boy!

Speech

Geoffrey frequently amazes us with words that her knows. He is also starting to string words together to make sentences. He is so cute when he tries to say a new word. He will often whisper it a few times until he feels confident in saying it, and then he will shout it out!

Some of our favorite words - "Milka Bobba" Means a bottle of milk.

Momaray - Monorail

Geoffrey! - I can't write it, but he sort of squeals his name.

Roar!

Vroom, Vroom

Chompa Chompa Choo Choo Chompa Chompa Choo Choo

Mouse (Mickey Mouse), Goofy

Gamma (Grandma)

He says LOTS of word - these are some of his favorites. The other day we walked ooutside of our condo at WDW and there were some kids playing basketball at the community center - Geoffrey poitned and said "Basketball!" He also points out "football" on TV, and loves to ride "horse" - the horses on the carousel.

New words

When Geoffrey learns new words, he will whisper them at first, like he is practicing. Then he will start saying it out loud.

Vocabulary

Geoffrey's vocabulary has been growing unbelievably in the past few months. In August, we started making a list of words (which I will post so we have a list of his first words.) The list got to about 50 before we left Disney World. It seems I am constantly being surprised with words he knows. Last Sunday at Wild Rivers, Geoffrey pointed to the camera and said, "camera!" Yesterday, he pointed and said, "Grandma!" and a picture of my Mom was on the computer screen.

He's also started putting words together. The other night it was "socks off," and yesterday it was "more cheese."

He also does a great lion roar!

Weeee!

On the way home, we hit some turbulence landing in Denver. All the way down, Geoff was going "weee! weeee!" SO CUTE!!!!
