Since we don’t do the monthly George shots and updates I just thought I’d give everyone a quick, update on Max these days!
He’s walking all over the place. It took longer than I thought between his first steps and him actually walking up a storm but this past week he’s finally mastered it and is officially upright most of the time. He has quite a vocabulary…. Includes book, ball, balloon, box, button, bus, mama, dada, woof, hot and probably more I’m forgetting. He knows what a doggy says, what a duck says and what a sheep says (and manatee, assuming Nate is making an appropriate manatee sound for him to imitate….). He is very particular about placing and organizing things (NO idea where he gets that fromJ). The best part of what he does now is he pretends and teases. He’ll pretend to hand you something and take it back. And he’ll pretend to be eating off an empty plate or tray or even off my hand the other day. He has such a HUGE imagination, its just amazing to watch him play sometimes.
One of his other favorite things to do find belly buttons, which we didn’t realize was an issue till his little friend came over Friday night and the first thing he does is walk up to her and lift her shirt up…..something to work on….
And of course his all time favorite thing to do is dance!!! Who can blame him!
BUT…. our biggest hurdle now is that the poor thing still only has 2 teeth. We think he’s been teething pretty hard the last week but I still haven’t seen anything come through. I’m afraid he may get 10 at a time (which would put him up to about where he should be!). So hopefully they’ll come in soon and be over with.
He is still taking 2 good naps. It kinda messes up a day but its nice for me because I get to do chores during the am nap and then sleep with him during the pm nap (seem to need lots of extra sleep these days). And we’re almost done with the bottle, he gets about 3oz first thing in the am which I keep cutting back so my goal is to not take bottles to FL at the end of January. He’s eating ok. He’s kinda picky but he doesn’t like to eat the same things all the time which makes my head hurt trying to think of things to feed him. And he’ll also LOVE something one day and hate it the next so its hard to keep up. But he’s mostly off of baby food now so that’s nice.
So now we’re just getting ready for the holidays, which I’m looking forward to because I get to eat all my holiday meals with maternity pants on, lots of extra room!!!

can't to hear Nate's impression of a manatee!! I hope you are videotaping his sounds- Jacob just put our old tapes on DVD and it's so cute to hear Emma's little voice singing songs when she was 2.
