What Max is up to

We have a runner! One of his favorite things lately is saying "go" and running back and forth. It is so cute. My mom taught him how to go in circles too, the he gets dizzy and falls. Pretty funny at first, then I just feel bad for him. Max loves music and also loves to dance. He also is a great helper. He gets diapers when I ask him. Throws away trash (among other things!!). Picks up his toys when asked. He naps pretty well on his own, usually 1-2 hours and is sleeping wells at night. I'm amazed because of all the changes that have been going on. He is proud of his little sister. He likes to run to her when people visit and calls her "baby". He doesn't always eat, but when he does, he eats big! He didn't want the high chair anymore, so we switched to the booster, then he got tired of that. So lately I just let him sit in a chair if he will eat. When he is in a good mood, he'll sit in his booster though. Max has a potty now. No, he's not using it and I don't think he's ready! But, he does tell me when he's gone potty in his diaper and he likes to take his diaper off from time to time. We might try to start training closer to 2 years.

He used to love to share his snacks with Tyson. That is over! When Tyson tries to steal his food or get into something he shouldn't, Max says "Nooo" and even lifts his hand as if to hit him. Guess he learned that from watching me! His vocabulary is soaring. He loves repeating new words that hears. A few I can think of:

"heeka" - helicopter

"teeka"- truck or train

"zeuz" - juice

"tete" - leche

"wawa" - water or agua

"tika, tika" - tickle, tickle

"guh" - girl
