What Have We Been Up To?

June has been a very busy month for us, everyday brings something new for us and Max takes on everything new with energy and enthusiasm.  I'll try to recap the month that just passed.

In the beginning of the month, we had to finalize Max' day care.  We visited several day care centers and selected one where I think Max will have fun and learn a lot, he'll start there soon. 

In the middle of the month, I went back to work.  Max was very well taken care of by friends and really enjoyed his days.  He finger painted, colored, and learned many new songs which he tried to show me, I have to learn them too! 

This past weekend Max was baptized. He did very well in church and then we came back to my house for a celebration with family and friends.  Max loved the party and had a great time along with every one else. 

Today was a beautiful sunny day so I decided it was time, time to let Max into the pool.  First we sat on the side and put our feet in, then I put his bathing suit on and we went in.  He liked it but he wasn't totally comfortable.  What he liked most was sitting on the ladder and splashing with his feet, that was fine with me.  I'm sure he'll be much more adventurous in the pool very soon. 

Stay tuned for more summer fun!

One Month With Max

Max is doing great!  He seems to be very comfortable with me, yesterday was the first time he kissed and hugged me without me asking him to do so.   To paraphrase a famous quote, 'He really likes me'!  

He is also very much a two year old, he tests me constantly and then he tests me again and again.  I find myself saying 'no' over and over and over again.  He lets me know when he's not happy with what we are doing or what I tell him he can't do.  Max is a happy, inquisitive and independent little boy. 

He loves his music, especially The Wheels on the Bus, the ABC song and Old McDonald.  You should hear him sing, it's funny!

Max is also very active, he loves to go in the car and he loves to be outside.  Everyday he's looking for many new adventures and experiences.  It's been fun trying to keep up with him.
