Update on Max's activities

So I realize I haven't posted much on Max's latest accomplishments:

  • Waves "bye bye" and "hi" whenever someone says these words or when he knows it time (like when we kiss him at day care)
  • Says "Baaaaaw" and enjoys throwing any ball-like thing (which I did not realize when he was carrying around this knobby toy thing that was quite hard! hit me right in the forehead!)
  • Quacks and tries to say "duck" randomly (apparently we have a lot of ducks around the house)
  • Thinks is fun to stick is tongue out and try to talk (there is some childrens song where you sing with your tongue out, right? someone with a better memory or kids help me out here)
  • Will shake his head no when you tell him to stop, no, don't, etc.
  • Loves going up & down stairs. At first he was attempting to go down stairs backwards. In the last week he's gone to just sliding down on his belly feet first, or sitting on the stair and sliding off it going forward (and occasionally just taking a tumble forwards when he gets going too fast)
  • Eats small chunks of soft zucchini, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pasta, bread, string cheese, toast with a slice of american cheese (he'll inhale american cheese like there is not tomorrow), tofu, gerber puffs, yogurt melts, peas, green beans, goldfish/cheez-its/saltines, cheerios, kix, peaches/pears (I'm running out of ideas here...any suggestions of new stuff kids can eat with only 2 teeth???)
  • Loves all things dairy (yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese) and also lets you know if he does or doesn't want to eat something.
  • Likes to taste stuff from our plate or our "big people" forks/spoons (like he won't eat cheerios, but if I spoon him some of mine from my bowl with milk, he'll eat them all day long)
  • Sometimes naps laying on his chest with his legs propping his butt up in the air
  • Gives hugs and always lets you know when he wants "up" or "UP!!!"

There's a book called Feed Me I'm Yours that gives good lists of appropriate foods for certain ages. Get it from the library or look at it at Barnes & Noble. Might not be something you want to buy.
