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!

Happy 3 months home, Max! And to Mum, also, of course. It is amazing how quickly the time flies by, now that you enter into a "normal" day-to-day routine. [Do you remember the song "The trouble with normal 's it always gets worse"? :) ]
It certainly sounds like family life suits both of you very well. As always, we are delighted.
All the best.

Oh my gosh Chris--I haven't kept up on blogs and this is the first time I have seen Max. He is wonderful and I couldn't be happier for you. You truly deserve such happiness and I can feel it in your writing. I can't wait to catch on all I missed.
I can't help but smile a huge smile as I read all your updates .. truly the best !
glad that things are going so well ... and that Max is giving you a run for your money too of course ... as any 2 1/2 year old boy should !

Reading your updates makes me feel as if I'm right there with you and Max. And the pictures reinforce that feeling. Between the lines I see the steady growth of the bond between you and the gradual strengthening of your mother-son relationship. Great stuff!!!!
Love, Aunt Sandy
