Video - Reading his number book with Daddy. I'm proud of him!! Watch him recognize some of his numbers and letters. (He calls "x" "max" because I have been writing M-A-X and then saying "Max" right after I say the X. I didn't mean for him to think that "x" was "max", but it's pretty cute.)
Another thing that Max says ... when he wants help, he says "help you" rather than saying "help me".
Video - Reading "Bubbles, Bubbles" with Daddy. Peter is really good at turning books into interactive experiences.
This is how Max snuggles with us at night before bedtime. He rolls from being snuggled up to his dad over to snuggling with me.
We took Max to dinner and it was NOT a relaxing experience. He didn't want to sit still. He didn't want to focus on the distractions we had for him - even the book that I don't usually bring in with us!
So then we played with the phone. He likes touching our noses when his face is by ours.
We finally caved and let him hold and play with the phone. He captured this self-portrait.
And took this picture of me...pretty good considering most of the time he doesn't hold the phone still enough for anything to be in focus.
Laying on the bench playing with Peter's phone.
He is starting to look so long to me! He's big enough that we finally moved from size 3 diapers unto the size 4.
Assume the sleep position - arms tucked under, bum in the air
Landen climbed into the pack-n-play to play with Max. Max wasn't happy about sharing his blanket.
Of course, he still wanted to play in the swing.
At the park
Our last class at the kids gym. Max played in the ball pit.
Climbed all over
Played some basketball
And had fun swinging.
Even though he had fun, I have decided not to continue. It's just too hectic to be enjoyable. There are SOOOO many kids there, I don't really like the structure to the classes or the way the teachers baby-talk when the toddlers are circled around them. Plus, I have to prod Max to do things OR he wants to do things that make me nervous and take extreme diligence (and thus I stress over them) to ensure he doesn't fall off the ladder bridge or something like that. AND it is 20 min away. All in all, I am glad we did it for 8 weeks, but 8 weeks is enough.
Playing with his cousins
He is getting so big and super smart. Peter is incredibly adorable with him. He is such a good daddy and you are an amazing mommy.
