Max turned 18 mo. on April 2nd. All is well for the Beene's these days. Charles is settling into his new job. He loves taking the bus to work and from our house this is very convenient. We have totally switched roles and I do all of the daycare drop-off and pick-up. It's been going about the same. Max still cries for the drop-off but he is happy by the time I pick him up. With the nice weather the kids are playing outside which helps.
Max is gaining new words and sounds and cracking us up with the things he's doing. One really cute thing is that he claps after Charles plays a song for him and signs for more right away. Such a good audience! He's running a lot now too.
In some ways taking care of Max is harder now because his needs for different kinds of stimulation are increasing as is his energy level. But he is definitely sleeping better and napping better. The activities we can do with him are getting more interesting as his attention span increases. So it's more challenging but also more fun!
We bought a yearly pass to the zoo and went for the first time on Friday. It's nice to have a pass and not feel like we need to spend the whole day there. I'm good with about 1-2 hours. There is also a big grassy area where we can bring lunch and run around.
It was 72 degrees in Seattle on Saturday so we decided to head to the beach! We met our friends Taryn, Noah and their 2 month old daughter Elana at Carkeek Park. A good time was had by all.
