Random Thoughts & Pictures

Max is home a little more than 3 ½ months now.  This Sunday when we were in Church I was watching him; he seems to be a completely different child than when we got home. 

To me, Max looks so much healthier now; his hair has come in nicely, I know he’s gained some weight and according to the growth chart in his room he’s grown a little bit too.  We go back to the doctor in the end of September for the official measurements. 

His adjustment has been amazing, he adapts well to every new situation, he loves people and he loves to go places.  He is happy, affectionate and excited to see me and the people in our lives that he has come to know and love. 

That’s not to say that he’s been all fun, remember, Max is 2 ½ years old and the terrible two’s definitely have a place in my house!  Max is very strong willed, he has opinions and he tries to express them often.  I know it’s really good that he is confident enough and trusts me enough to act like a typical two year old; he’s exhausting and challenging at times, as he should be. 

Remember, this post is titled ‘random thoughts….. 

I love thunder storms, I always have.  There is a peacefulness about them that I just love.  Max has given me another reason to love thunder storms, he’s afraid of the noise.  When he hears thunder and lightening, he comes running to me and he stays cuddled up in my arms hugging me tightly until the storm passes, nothing better than that! 

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

Max in the pool, he's a sytlish guy, he always wears his shades!

We celebrated Max being home for three months with a cake and friends!

Max Goes To Church

This past Sunday I decided to take Max to church for the first time, I want him to get a little used to it before he is baptized.  He did great!   We have a toddler tunes CD in my car, after each song is done he claps and says 'yeah'.  In church, after the first hymn was over, Max did the same, he clapped and cheered, it was very funny!  The only real problem we had was when everyone else received communion and he didn't.  He could not understand why everyone else got something to eat and he didn't, he was seriously upset!   Next time, I will have to slip him a cookie so he doesn't try to go up on to the alter and get something to eat from the Priest.  The boy is serious about food!
