I can't believe my oldest child is four months away from turning 2 years old! It makes me sooo sad! I had the best 3.5 months with my two children before I headed back to work this past week. I really enjoyed being a full time mom to my children while I was home and I know Max loved having me around so much. It definitely hasn't been easy being away from them at work after seeing them so much but I have no choice at the moment. Max has gotten so tall he can easily open doors now and reach things he never could before. He is still not talking although he has said bubbles a few times and babbles much clearer as if he were about to turn the switch on the speak. I am so excited to hear him talk for the first time, until then I will wait patiently and teach him as much as I can. He understands a ton and so I can tell him to do things and he does them but he just doesn't say them yet.
Max is still head over heals for his brother and has become a huge cuddler. He will just hug you and cuddle with you which melts my heart. I definitely try to take it all in knowing that I only have a few more years left of him wanting to cuddle with his mommy. Max seems to be enjoying his new nanny Jan and so far I am happy with what has been going on since I left. It is hard to replace Maria but I think we have found someone who fits in well. I have set up cameras around the house in the basement, Jakes room and the living room so I can see the kids when I'm at work. It really does make it a little easier because I can see them and what they are up to. I try to move the cameras so they know I'm watching them but Max hasn't grasped the concept of me watching them and waving to me quite yet.
He is still drinking Rice Milk and has been off of dairy. We no longer feed him milk or yogurt but he does get cheese. He still loves his fruit for breakfast, mainly rasberries, blackberries, strawberries and banana. He gets one snack after his afternoon nap and no more juices. After reading the south beach diet I have changed everyones diet in the hopes of nobody getting diabetes down the road. He can eat with a spoon although we still let him eat with his hands most of the time. He loves having toast with hummus which is great and healthy.
Max has figured out how to ride his new motorcycle we got him which makes me laugh. He still doesn't know how to steer but that will come with time. One thing we don't have to worry about with him is sharing. He gives everything he has to anyone who is around. If we are at a store he gives the cashier his toy, if we are on a plane he offers his food and drinks to strangers. I almost have to teach him to stop sharing so much haha. He still sleeps great at night, going to bed at 7pm and sleeping until 7am. He takes his two hour nap at 12:30 after he watches thomas the train. He loves books and we read a ton to him. He is still obsessed with his toy cars we got him. He has about 15 of them and they are always all over the house. He is all boy, loving trucks and cars.
I am so blessed two have two beautiful healthy boys who are so happy and loving.
