Max is 2

Wow. I have a 2 year old. Again. haha. (still have one more coming too. oh boy)

If you ask Max how old he is he will hold up 2 fingers and proudly say "free".

He was so Happy to have pancakes and be able to blow out the two candles on top.

We had a little minion party for this boy who just loves minions! And by minion party I mean minion decorations, pinata and cake. haha

I feel like this sums up my boys right now.haha

We invited friends to come swimming with us in the early afternoon. Crazy day for swimming at the Nicholas Sheran, It was a weekend I guess. It was fun. Good turn out of friends. Lets be real though. It was still mostly for us adults because Max doesn't play too well with friends yet. haha

After swimming we had a BBQ at our house where Max's Grandparents showed up. Plus all the friends that came swimming. It was fun. We had a good excuse to use our new table with the leaf extensions in it. That was exciting. Dang... I should have taken a picture of that.. lame.

We opened some presents. Max got books, a punching bag and candy. what more does a kid need? A pinata.. haha I figured this kid needed a pinata this birthday because he loves hitting things. It was perfect. He loved it! So did all the other kids. except Evalyn. She wasn't a fan till the candy came out.

This was cute. Evan was so happy to be playing with Reggie. 

                                      

Then of course we had some Cake. and I forgot we had icecream just didn't pull it out,

Max blew out his cake candles a few times. Always a kids favorite part I think. Though he did love his cake too. Lucky boy.

It was a fun day. I can't BELIEVE  i have a 3 year old soon to be 4, a 2 year old, and an almost one year old. time is flying.

 

2 more months till the 1st birthday people!

My baby is almost a year old! oh my goodness! That makes my heart so happy and so sad.

At 10 months he is

crawling at lightning speed.
Trying to walk. He probably will be walking before his first birthday.
stands without holding anything for a few seconds now.

has one tooth on the bottom. no more gummy smile. :( the second one is on its way right now...
this is my first kid not to teeth and pop 2-4 teeth at once. He's popping one at a time and its BRUTAL!

very very very very very clingy/ momma's boy. (partly due to teething) He just loves me. He does go to other people for a second or two until he realizes I'm not holding him.

we are weening. down to just night feed and first thing in the morning. This is all due to me. haha Evan would probably still be nursing till he was 2 if he could. But I am done. He's made the transition to a bottle really well. Which is nice to let other people put him to sleep.

He is a food monster! There was a time that his preference was the squeeze pouches. but now he just loves food! He wants it all. Still gets a little eager and chokes. Now that teeth are coming he'll do better.

I still am wishing for him to sleep through the night. but 1-2 times isn't horrid.

Has the best smile. It just lights up his face. and oh his little belly laugh. melts my heart. I love it when I hear him laughing and it's Sean and Max making him laugh.

Oh my baby....

Sorry.. yet again I didn't take a "photo shoot" of photos. just Candids on my phone. At least there are pictures.

blanket monster like all my boys!
