New words of the day

Bug. Down. Nana (for Banana).

More Words

Today Max blew on his food and said, "hot." And he pointed to his water and said "wa-wa." Yesterday Max pointed to the door on his toy bus and said "door." However he continues to refer to DJ Lance Rock as "Dada."

Happy 1/2 Birthday (18 months!)

Along with Max's happy half birthday came the dreaded well baby check up. This time, I tried to ease tensions between Max and Dr. Simons by having the doctor present him with a shiny new toy truck. It started off great in the waiting room but just when I thought they were best buds, Max LOST it when he saw the exam room and screamed his head off as usual.

Here are his stats -
Height - 32.52 inches/ 2.7 feet (55%)
Weight - 26.8 pounds (55%)
Head Circumference - 49 cm (80%!)

So Max is slimming down (probably because he eats nothing but Joe's O's and goldfish), but is still a healthy weight and height and developing and growing marvelously.

Here are some of the words that Max has been using lately in addition to mama and dada - Ball, book, bird, bus, dog, duck, truck, rock, up, moon, no, nose, eyes, block, boat, car, blue, hat, "M", and a whole lot of animal noises.

He's been really into playing with cars and trucks, having us read to him (and is very particular about his choices), watching Yo Gabba Gabba, running, going down the slide on his own, playing in the dirt and touching flowers and plants, climbing and jumping all over the furniture, and headbutting and wrestling with daddy.

Smashing Pumpkins Fan

Max refused to leave the house without our Smashing Pumpkins CD box set this morning so I let him take it with him. After all, his parents first date was a Smashing Pumpkins laser light show.

Max @ 15 Months!

Our incredibly active boy just turned 15 months on our 5th anniversary. With that came a doctors appointment and an MMR shot. As soon as Max sees the doctor these days, he looses it. In fact he was so hysterical for the routine part of the exam (heartbeat, weight checking, etc.) that he passed out on Perry's lap before his shot. I think the doctor was even more relieved than we were.

Here are some stats:
Weight: 25 pounds (60th % - he's slimming down)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (65th % - he's getting tall!)
Head circumference: 75th %

He is still a super picky eater and sleep is still an issue for us but we wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! He now says momma, dada, ball, bus, bird (although the last three sound the same), and dog. He loves being outside and running around and gets cranky if we coop him up for too long. He LOVES attention, gets a ton of it and seems to get upset when people don't pay attention to him. He's very social and loving. He likes to dance and spin and do somersaults with daddy. And he is clearly the cutest boy in the world :)

Too Much Punch

Max at 15 months. Kind of like mom at 21, but not really :)

Elevator

Max looks so proud when we let him get on and off the elevator in our building by himself!
