Helpy Helperton Max

Max helping Papa put together his new bookshelf. Notice which hammer he has?!

Hmmm...Max "helping" decorate the wall while Papa was occupied painting his bathroom.

And Maxwell w/ the culprit decorating tool...a Sharpie Marker. Nice.


OMG...my little monkey is equally frustrating as he is hilarious.

He definitely keeps us on our toes...he goes goes goes all day long and boy if you aren't watching him...he's into something. Usually something he shouldn't be into. Hense the decorating "help".

But, you can't stay mad at him because he's such a freaking ham! Here are just some of the funny things he's been up to lately...to keep us laughing:

He grabs an item. Not necessarily resembling a phone...but he puts it up to his ear and says, "Hello?" (sounds more like, "Ha-O") and then he gibber gabbers on and then he'll stop and puff his tummy out and arch his back way back and belly laugh, "Ahhh ha ha ha" and then continue to talk. He'll say some words that are recognizable here and there...usually pointing out items around him and then he's back to his toddler babble (I like to call it his, "Korean talk"). And never fails to say, "ok, bye" before he pretend hangs up. My favorite part of this bit is when he walks around doing it and he's got so much drama to it...waving his free arm around and his funny facial expressions. And then when he does the belly laugh...it sets me off every time! EDIT: Tonight at dinner he did his phone bit with a french fry! :)

His favorite phrase seems to be, "Ah, o.k." lately. Which sounds like it would be boring to report...but he says it in so many ways depending on the circumstance. He's got the excited, "ah, ok!" when we ask if he wants to go outside or have some goldfish crackers...and then he's got the famous woes me "Ooohhhh kaaaaay" when he's in a funk or pouting. It's really hard to put into words...I try to capture as much as I can on video...he's such a nut!

What a social boy he is...everywhere we go, "HIIII!" and man, if you don't greet him...he'll go crazy with the "HIIIII!"s until you acknowlege him! He's so enthusiastic about it. We were at a restaurant and he was hollaring (and I mean HOLLARING!), "HIIIII!" to these 2 guys in a table about 2 away from us and thankfully they noticed him screaming at them and laughed and said hi back to him...my gosh. It can be very embarassing, but funny at the same time.

We've really got to watch what we say lately because he is getting really good at repeating what he hears. And many times he mimicks the way we say it or the way he hears it on tv. Like today we were eating lunch and a commercial came on and it had some "Ooooooh Oooooh Ooooh" kind of singing in it and he turns to me and repeated it...w/ the singy song tone in his voice like the commercial!

I could go on forever...he's such a ham. Ooooh, and STUBBORN! He may look like his Papa, but he is a small version of me! :)
