Max's growing vocabulary


Max is really starting to jabber a lot. Rick guessed that he has at least 10 words so we tried to count them on our hands:
  1. mama
  2. dada
  3. gaga = cracker
  4. nai nai = milk (in Chinese)
  5. shoos = shoes
  6. book
  7. car
  8. ball
  9. hi
  10. bye
  11. mum mum = food
  12. juice
  13. MINE
"Mine" is the word he says with the most enthusiasm. He screams this whether Jalen takes something away from him. Max is quite possessive. Once we were having dinner and we parked the stroller next to our table. Jalen decided to sit in it for a second and Max screamed "mine! mine!" like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. Max wasn't even sitting in it! He definitely is the second child who knows that he has to stake his territory.

Jalen and Max goofing off

I just love it when the boys get along and play together. Here is Max babbling away and being silly with Jalen.

Max is 1.5 years old!

Max turned 18 months old last Monday on August 1 and we took him to his check up on Tuesday. He is now 24lb 12oz (25 - 50%) and 33.5" (75-90%). We're very excited that he's catching up on weight now since he had been at 25th percentile since 12 months old. Max is at an adorable age right now, babbling all the time and waddling all over the place. He is really coming into his own little person. I can't wait to get to know him more as he learns to communicate with us in new ways.
