Video - Have I mentioned that Max loves giving raspberries?
Peter (I shouldn't leave him alone with Max!) taught Max how to get peanut butter out of the jar with his finger.
Max progressed to putting his whole hand in. Nice. I roll my eyes but secretly I think it's good for Peter to teach him crazy stuff like this.
Max's new thing in the car - taking his shoes off and putting them on his hands.
I took a weekend afternoon and went to get a pedicure with some of the neighborhood gals.
We finally got the paintings up on the wall in Max's room. I still adore these - thanks Dad and Marriann!!
There are less and less open lots in the neighborhood.
Look how green my grass looks - before the summer (and the water restrictions that dictate we can only water once a week) took it's toll
Melt down in a restaurant.
Unfortunate solution to the meltdown - iPhone
Going for a bike ride
Video - I think it's just so funny how he rides his scooter
Playing at the splash park with his cousins
So there was a morning that we were laying in bed and I was listening to the storm outside and I hear this drip, drip, drip. What in the world was that?? I got up and realized that our roof was leaking and I was hearing the water drip into our bedroom. GRRRRR!!! Thank goodness we were still under warranty. I found it so odd that the roof just started leaking now when we had got through the "rainy" season without any issues.
The guy came to start working on the ceiling when Max was napping so we just moved his crib out of the way and he kept sleeping.
Playing at the park
We had a hole in our ceiling for a week while everything dried out before they patched it up.
Max started swim lessons! With our neighbors having a pool, I wanted him to know some basic safety swimming skills. Because he's so young I go into the pool with him and hold him the whole time. At this age we are working on basics like getting him comfortable with the water, putting his face in, learning to hold his breath, and being able to climb out of the water. He won't be swimming on his own at this point. It's all about teaching him to be okay in the pool long enough that if he falls in, I have time to get to him.
Peter won tickets to a rangers game at work. They were fantastic seats and we were surprised when we got there that our friends (and Peter's co-worker) Andrea and Jeff had won tickets to the same game. So we got to go on an unintentional double date.
Just a handful of rows up from the field.
If that lady's head wasn't in the way you could see the back of Nolan Ryan's head. (That's also where President George W Bush sits when he goes to the games but he wasn't there that day.)
We had a reserved parking spot! Not too shabby. It's nice to live the "high life" every once in a while and not have to pay for it.
Taking advantage of the Frisco City water expert to come inspect my sprinkler system - then having the sprinkler company come fix everything while we are still under warranty. It's going to stink we have to pay to have things fixed!
We went grocery shopping and Max pushed the shopping cart. He had fun but it was quite stressful keeping him from running into people, displays. :)
He even helped pay for the groceries.
Momma did some baking and let Max enjoy the beater. He was a fan.
We had dinner over at Andrea and Jeff's house and the kids swam in the kids pool. Max and S had fun playing together.
Video - Max and his trademark jump. He was a trendsetter and S started doing it too (looks painful to me).
What is Max up to lately?
- When he is in the shower, he enjoys standing with his back in the water which is an improvement
- He has started crying and throwing a fit if he doesn't get his way
- Lately he has been calling me "Kallie" more than "Momma"
- He LOVES being on his bike
- Says "Oh, man" quite frequently
- When you ask him if he wants to do something or if he wants something he will say "I not" instead of "No" or "I don't"
- He can now open some of the doors in the house
- We read a book from Kindermusik at bedtime called "Animal Serenade" (It's a great book!) and he can sing some of the songs from that book and will sometimes sing along with his kids music in the car
- He is now down to just one nap a day. Sad.
