Helping Mike mow the lawn...notice how they just happen to be wearing the same color shirt?
Swimming at the Connif's pool!
Wearing Papa's hat
Oh Max... what a little nut! I know I've said this before...but seriously, he looks like Papa...but he is SOOOO my son! He's a Bellows!
Definitely going through the 2's. One moment an absolute joy and the next...in a melt down. He's so passionate about however he is feeling at the moment. But, boy...he continues to be our source of daily entertainment. He's got a funny sense of humor already and loves to be silly. I can see so much of Brad and myself in him.
He's been a Papa's boy from quite early on...but lately he's turned into a mama's boy. I'm not sure if it's because of the extra attention I'm giving Miles as he gets older (Miles is a mama's boy), or what. Tonight he was playing with Papa when I came downstairs from bathing Miles and putting him to bed and he came running over and grabbed his "go go" (blankey) and said, "Na Night". I couldn't believe my ears...so I kept asking him, "You want to go Na night?" and he kept repeating it, so Brad got up to put him down and he kept asking for me. I think Brad appreciated the break (he usually puts Max down while I am nursing Miles and getting him ready for bed) and it warmed my heart to be in demand. :) It's funny though because Max has different bedtime routines with each of us. He likes me to read him a book and then I hold and cuddle with him for a little bit. He asks to wipe his nose several times (I have no idea why) and then he asks for this little pillow he has in his room and wants his go go laid out on it and he'll lie down on it and I'll rub his back and head for awhile. Then when I get up to leave he says, "No poh-oh" (pillow) and I have to put it away. He's really particular about what he sleeps with and HAS to have his go go and likes to sleep with this little bus and maybe 1 more car or something small, but other than that...he doesn't like anything else in his crib with him.
He's speaking up a storm and repeating more difficult words. I'm trying to work on his alphabet, numbers, and colors more...but he is on the go and doesn't seem too interested in repeating them all the time.
I still need to take pictures of our finished patio...but he absolutely loves it. He just runs around outside. I think he likes it because it's so large and wraps around the back of the house so he has more room to run and push his toys around on. He also loves to play with the hose and spray water on everything...what boy doesn't?!
His favorite TV show is Handy Manny and his favorite Movie right now are the Toy Story movies. In fact...I think Toy Story has taken over Handy Manny in requests lately. He calls it, "Anen" which is supposed to be "Andy". Andy is the little boy (the owner Woody & Buzz). He calls Woody, "Anen".
Anyway...my goodness...he's growing so fast, and like Miles...I just wish I could bottle this stage up. I'm not ready for my babies to be getting so big. Sometimes I look at him and he looks so grown. Ahhhh...if we could only slow time down a little!
