We love the weekend!!!

Friday's are the best day.  They are usually crazy at work but that helps the day go faster...and then, it's a weekend!!!

This blog is subtitled, "Techie Boy" and "Watch him play".

Hayden knows how to make Max happy - bring him a cell phone.

Working his magic

Showing Hayden what he can do.

Happy!

Video - Max learned how to unlock the iphone by watching us.  I think I sat there with my mouth hanging open the first time I realized that he was doing it.  It amazing the things he picks up by watching - I need to be more aware of what I'm potentially teaching him!

Lovin' his dad

He's getting big enough to climb onto his scooter, but not big enough to make it go anywhere yet.

He calls our cell phones "Hello".  It's super cute.  He will see the phone and keep saying "hello" until we give in and give it to him.

Maxwell being silly (ugh, Kallie - give him a haircut!!!)

One of the things that make weekends great is that we don't have the tight schedule of the workweek.  We can be a little more flexible at night and if Max is having fun, in a good mood, and wanting to keep playing then we can do that instead of shutting it down in order to get him to bed on time.  This particular night we had a TON of fun.  :)

Video - At night right before putting him to bed, we lay down on our bed for cuddle time.  We lay on our sides and Max lays down and rolls right next to us.  In this video, Max is teasing Peter by acting like he's going to cuddle.

Video - Max talking on the phone.

Video - Peter is a rock star for being able to do this yoga pose called crane.  He is a uber-rock star for being able to hold this pose while his little toddler crawls underneath him.

Video - The boys playing and more of that fantastic Max laugh.

Video - Max getting dad back for hassling him earlier. :)

Playing his favorite game on the ipad - it's an app that shows different animals and vehicles.  When you touch one of them, it says their name and then makes whatever sound that particular thing makes.  Did you know that a zebra sounds nothing like a horse?

Chowing down on bread at the Cheesecake Factory.  He loved the bread, the ceiling, and smiling at other people.

Video - Chasing Daddy. 

(Max LOVES these squeaky shoes, Peter hates them.  I like them because I always know where he is when he's wearing them.)

My notes from November 10th about Max:

• Words that Max says - mommy, daddy, oh no, ew, ow, ma, da, more, please, yes, moo, down, down, eyes, nose, and cheese.  I think that's pretty good for a 14 month old!
• He's good at identifying body parts.  He knows his eyes, nose, hair, head, tongue, belly button, and his toes.
• He can now get down off the couches by himself with no problem.
• He is super picky lately with what he wants to eat.  His tastes change from day to day.  Lately you have force the first bite into his mouth so he can taste it and then sometimes he will let you keep feeding it to him.
• He will beg food from you when you are eating but then when you offer it to him, he won't take it.
