Franklin at 2

 Franklin is officially two, and now we have his 2-year stats, as well. He's 28 lbs and 35 inches tall, 50th percentile in both, which surprises us because he seems so BIG for his age. Very similar stats to his brother at the same age, but a pound or so heavier. At the doctor’s we weighed Theo too and he’s now up to 36 lbs! Finally he’s broken the 34-lb barrier he seemed to stay at forever, and thank goodness, because he’s growing like a weed and is now 3 and a half feet tall.
Franklin's language and personality are developing the most right now. He learned to say "I'm two" on his birthday and continues putting words together here and there.  Mostly, we are so grateful for his increasing vocabulary so he can tell us what he wants! He knows all of the main colors now and likes to pretend to count "unt du, unt du". He laughs boisterously at all sorts of things, but mostly at his brother, who is his own personal comedy show. When they are in the mood to share, they play marvelously together. I especially love watching them look at books together in the mornings. Franklin is especially talented at ball throwing, with a spot-on aim, and enjoys lining up cars just like his brother did at this age.
