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!

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.
