21 Months

We are 24 hours late to the party, but we wanted to wish Maxwell a happy 21 months! He is quite the little goofball and his laughter really is the best medicine! He is continuing to grow like a weed and is now in 24 months to some 3T clothing. We mainly pull 2T stuff when we choose his outfits to play it safe. He is saying and imitating more and more words, although he is still pretty hard to understand. He is still Mr. Independent though so trust us when we say most of his wants and needs are getting met. He gets out his own plate and cup, pulls his own food from the freezer and fridge, turns on the TV, gets out his own clothes, and can even be found cleaning up his own spills and putting his laundry in the chute. There isn't much he can't do, and he watches EVERYTHING so beware!

Memorial Day Parade

Lily and I both marched in the Mequon-Thiensville Memorial Day Parade this year with our scouting groups. Maxwell enjoyed sitting along the route waving at all of the people.

Mr. Independent

Maxwell's 20th month revolved around independence and food. He was often found trying to do everything by himself from putting on his socks, taking off his diaper, picking out his meals, to even cleaning toilets. He also LOVES to eat and will stop doing just about anything when you ask him if he wants to eat. He climbs into his booster and buckles himself and then yells "Mom" until his food comes is served...he better not get used to that!

Brewers vs. Mets

Took in a Brewers vs. Mets game tonight at Miller Park with Dad and some of his work friends. Our seats were amazing and I even caught a warm up ball.

Did Someone Say Ice Cream?!?!

While the big boys are aways the rest of us will play...or have Kopp's ice cream which is even better!

Outside All Day

The past two days have been beautiful so Maxwell has tried to spend every waking moment outside from getting us on the bus to getting wet with his water table. He is always smiling when outside so I guess this heat wave is a good problem to have!

Max the Brave

Maxwell is really starting to enjoy books and he definitely has his favorites depending on who is reading to him. When I read it is always Max the Brave. With all of my silly voices I can make him laugh so hard which makes me enjoy it just as much as him!

Company Banquet

We celebrated a great year in company today with a banquet. After all of our hard work it was nice to get together and dance the night away without any critique.

Sand and Sun

We always forget about the beaches our area has to offer. While killing some time today we happened to be in the area and revisited one of these gems. Maxwell loved the sand between his toes and would have done anything to jump into Lake Michigan, but it is still a little chilly for that. Lily and I loved climbing on the rocks, and Lily discovered a little fear of heights today. A perfect morning for sand and sun!
