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!

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!
