On a lighter note...

Max is continually making us laugh. Here is something he did a few weeks ago.

We were preparing for dinner like usual and we were all getting ready to eat. He took his first bite and then suddenly dropped his fork.

"WAIT! We can't eat yet! We forgot to say our blessing!!"

So he proceeds to go stand in the middle of the floor. He goes to a Jewish preschool, so he is trying to remember the Hebrew blessing they say, but just can't quite get it out.

So, he does this instead..."I pledge allegiance to our flag..."

Max Funny

After lunch today I gave Max some yogurt for a snack and I decided to eat a brown sugar pop tart. He finished his yogurt and promptly asked me for a pop tart too. I told him he couldn't have one because he already had some yogurt. I went back into the kitchen and Max came in a few seconds later with a magazine. He said, "Mommy, I want to show you something." Holding up the magazine, pointed to some words on a page. "Do you know what this says?"
"No," I replied. "What?"
"It says, Max Needs a Pop Tart." he said with such a serious face.
I couldn't help but laugh at his cleverness, so of course I caved and gave him a pop tart.
"It also says, Max Needs Some Toys!" He said a few minutes later. Man, he catches on quick! Hehe!

Faces

This is the funniest video of Max. I guess they were doing expressions or something at his school so he was showing me all his "Faces". He's always been so expressive, even as a baby. I love it!
Oh and by the way he likes to practice his "mad" face in the mirror when he is in Time Out, lol!

First Bites

We tried giving Aspen cereal a couple weekends ago. I was going to wait until she was 6 months to start anything, but she was practically attacking us if we were eating while holding her. So I thought I would give it a try. And she loved it! Gobbled it right up! I couldn't believe it! Max NEVER liked food and didn't really eat much until he was close to a year old. So this is completely different for me.

She wasn't sure what to think about sitting in the chair at first.

First bite,

She loved getting some water afterwards! I think that was her favorite part!


The next time she tried it she did better.


What is she hiding?


I got the spoon Mommy!



And a video :)

Tootsies

Aspen has found her feet recently. It's hilarious to watch her try and get them in her mouth. It's a constant thing too. It's like her main goal all day is to get her foot in her mouth. When you put her in her swing, she grabs for her feet. Put her on the floor, she wants her feet. Carseat, feet. It's a good thing she isn't walking yet, that could get yucky, lol!
