Baby Notes: 21mo & 2mo

Before I get to the babynotes...just a quick update on Operation Binkie Blues...

Max cried for 6 minutes at naptime and about 7 minutes for bedtime! I'm sure we'll continue to have some protest crying for a little while...but wow...he's done so well! I'm so proud!

Maxwell (21 months):

* HAS to have a sippy cup of milk or juice at all times
* Announces what he's going to do before he does it. For instance, before he takes a drink of milk, he'll say, "Mak" (milk). It's hilarious.
* He now tells me when he's poopy. "Poop"...although sometimes he is warning me. LOL
* His vocabulary is endless and grows by the minute. We rather like his "versions" of the words most of the time. Brad said, "oh crap" the other day and Max said, "oh pop". :)
* He's usually very sweet to his little brother. Today he tried to share his chip with him...and this is a big deal. As you know...he has been known to hoard a chip for a long length of time. Today's chip was only about 10 minutes.
* What a character. He literally has us all laughing on a daily basis.

Miles (2 months):

* He's so alert now and stares so intensely into your eyes when you are talking to him.
* He's really a very sweet and calm baby. He really only cries when he's hungry, overtired, and sometimes when he's gassy.
* But, when he REALLY cries...holy hannah...he has lungs!
* He's starting to coo more and more everyday
* I think he is going to be more of a jumper. Max used to lock his legs and would stand as long as he could. Miles likes to kick his legs.
* I'm thinking may be another blankey boy...he likes a blanket cuddled up to his face when he's sleepy.
* His hair stands up (wonderful Asian hair!) when its dry, but when its wet...it's actually a little curly.
* Loves to have his arms in the air and a lot of the time 1 or both arms are up when he sleeps.
* Is putting his fists in his mouth as much as he can...it's almost like he's looking for the thumb. Uh oh!

I know there is much more...but I can't think. Things will probably come to me as I'm trying to fall asleep...isn't that how it works?!

Tomorrow my mom and sister are coming to spend some quality time with us. Mom has Spring Break this week and she and Amy have been looking forward to coming over for weeks now. We need to run out and try to find an outfit for Amy for our cousin's wedding (which is in a few weeks) tomorrow morning and then we'll come home for the boys naps. Maybe I'll get to sneak one in too!
