Today my baby boy turns 2 and a half. I know I probably say this every month but, seriously, where is the time going? Before I know it he will be starting school, learning to drive, moving out and all the little things that happen in between. As Leo is now 30 months I thought I would do this months update a little differently. Being a half birthday after all, I have decided to list 30 facts for 30 months, to make this monthly update a little more special. I am going to note down all of Leo’s little ways as, despite the tantrums, this is such a fun and lovely age and I don’t want to forget a second of it.
Happy half birthday Leo, in another six months you’ll be three – ahh! This is what you are like now you are 2 and a half..
30 facts for 30 months..
1. You are obsessed with Room on the broom.
2, If I let you, you would watch Thomas the Tank all day.
3. Every morning you have to have Weetabix or Chocolate Hoops for breakfast, otherwise there are tears.
4. Your minion wellies are your favourite shoes.
5. You love to sing Old Mcdonald had a Farm in a funny, deep voice.
6. Biscuits are your favourite thing ever.
7. Puddles make you happy.
8. Every night I have to read you 3 stories before you will settle down to sleep. You always ask for more.

10. When you want me to take a photo of us both you ask can we ‘go in the phone’.
11. You call squash ‘purple’ and refuse to drink plain water.
12. You can be nasty to Jessy the kitten sometimes.

25. You talk about your family a lot, I think you miss then since we’ve moved.
26. Exploring the woods or the beach is when you are happiest.
27. You are a chocoholic, you get that from me.
28. People are starting to say you look more like me, since you were tiny you have always been a mini version of Daddy,.

My not so baby boy is growing and changing so much, I just love watching his little personality shine. Do you like to keep monthly updates of your little ones? Has your child reached any milestones this month or explored somewhere new? I would love to know 🙂

Aww he's so cute – I laughed at number 11 – my daughter calls juice 'purple' as well, how weird! x
#maternitymondays
Awww so cute! It's a lovely idea, and a quick way to save so many memories of him right now 🙂 #bloggerclubuk
Haha, how strange your little one calls it that too!xx
Thanks 🙂 Yes, I'm all about cherishing the memories xx
This is so cute, they grow up so quickly it's scary sometimes. It sounds like Leo's really developing his own little character which is lovely. #BloggerClubUK
It is so scary, I don't know where the time goes. Yes he is becoming a proper cheeky little boy now xx
aww great pics and love the 30 things bit. 2 and a half seemed to be such a turning point for Boo. I'm hoping it doesn't come for quite a while with G 😉 #MaternityMondays
Aww you have a little while to go yet before G is 2 and a half. I know, since Leo turned 2 he is changing all the time, it goes too fast xx
Ahh what a lovely list. This will be amazing to read when Leo's older! My little lady just turned 3 – she too loves chocolate. It's adorable that he says kiss before giving a kiss. That's the kind of thing you could forget if you don't have it written down. Thanks so much for sharing with #bloggerclubuk x
Glad I'm not the only one with a chocoholic child! I would definition forget so many of the little things if they weren't written down!xx
