Max is growing like a weed. He has sprouted into a tall skinny little boy and is sooo tiny. I don't think he has been eating as much as he used to, or maybe he just has a real fast metabolism. Either way he hasn't gained any weight the past 3 months, he has been 24 pounds. He has added three words to his vocabulary besides mamma and dadda. The other day I was going over his word cards and a picture of a ball came up. I asked him what it was and he goes "ba". I asked him to get me one and he returned with two balls. I was stunned! He now says ball, although he doesn't pronounce the LL, car and "bebe". I have placed more of an emphasis on the first letter for example Bbbbball, or ccccccar so he gets the hang of it. And it seems to be working! We have a speech therapist coming this Friday to evaluate him and she him not pronouncing words like Ball so clearly was due to him still drinking out of a bottle. So now we are trying to wean him from them. He now gets his morning rice milk from a sippy cup which takes forever for him to drink.
Max still LOVES Thomas the Train and adores watching him on tv or on dads iphone. He is such a big boy now that he takes dads iphone, and watches thomas on the couch with it. He has started to take a bath every night again now and he has so much fun playing with all his toys in there and exploring how things work. His recent discovery was this cup that has two holes in it and how it has water coming out of it.
He still adores his brother and the dogs and tonight he actually pushed Chloe into his room. It was the funniest thing to watch. Daisy loves to chase him around and he can't stop laughing when she does it. I can now ask him for a kiss or kussi and he will turn around and plant a big one on me which melts my heart. He has the sweetest reaction when I come home from work and is so excited to see me. He can open doors with no problem which he started doing last month I believe, but its so strange to see him do it. He seems to like Jan, our nanny and she seems to be doing a good job with the boys. I have seen her once in the past five weeks since I'm always working but from what Steve tells me she is doing a great job wit the boys and is always in a great mood. As long as my boys are happy I'm happy :)
Max now knows how to make his cars go by winding them up backwards. I have tried to show him for a while now and he has finally gotten the hang of it. We still brush his teeth by singing the ABC's and I'm trying to teach him how to spit it out now.
Max is OBSESSED with his peru peru or perulingu (private parts) as we like to call it. He touches himself all the time,
I guess that's what it's like having a boy haha
He still likes to cling on to us when we are out somewhere and is still rather shy at first until he warms up. He is just such a good boy and I couldn't be a prouder mom. I'm already starting to think about his second birthday and how I want it to be thomas the train themed haha
On a side note, both my sisters have had wonderful news. My little sister is pregnant with her first and I'm sooo excited about that. And my older sister just had her third little girl, Samantha Zoe, born on September 3rd. Congratulations to the both of them, I am one lucky Aunti!
I bought Max his first froggy Potty and when I brought it home he thought it was so cool and so I took his pants off to show him how it works. He sat on it but nothing happened and so he stands up and not even 10 seconds later he takes a piss right on the carpet. Steve is yelling at me to go get a diaper which I went to fetch. As I'm coming down the stairs I hear Steve getting mad at Max and I thought he had just peed again. As I round the corner a giant crap the size of an adult males crap is on the floor. Operation potty training was an epic fail!
