Max Turns Two! A visit from Grandma and 2 year check-up

Max had an amazing visit with grandma. He enjoyed playing with her and learning how to eat properly. (mommy needs to work harder on one bite at a time with Max). Grandma made us lots of good food, she put several of our tomatoes to good use in a sauce and made one exceptionally good spinach salad with fresh strawberries from the farmers market. An unexpected treat in October!

At Max's 2 year check-up he was sick with his first cold of the season. He 's better now, but his nose is running constantly again. He was 351/2 pounds and 371/2 inches. He's still going strong at the 95 th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. I am really psyched to have a new friend for Max at preschool. Owen is 36 pounds and slightly taller than Max and he is only 18mo. old. It is very comforting to have someone his age and size that I can see and relate to his mom.

I can't say enough how much Max loves preschool. He talks about it all week. He is really putting words together especially when he sings songs which is so darn cute. He is at the point where he's trying so many new words that we often can't understand him right away. He isn't quite so chatty outside home ( a little shy) but once he gets comfortable he opens up.

This is a 2 part post.
