Maxwell is now 27 months old and fun as ever. The things he says and does are just funny. He’s a little repeating machine too – he literally repeats everything Robert and I say. We need to be very careful with our language now!

He’s really starting to string words together to make sentences and it’s so neat to watch his little brain process everything. Some of the things he’s really into now…

Santa! or “shansha” as he says! That and, “me no like shansha’s lap!” But, he LOVES to talk about how he’s going to ask Santa for a fire truck! I’ve finally convinced him that he should ask for a train track too (because santa told me that’s what he’s getting!) 🙂

He loves pointing out all the Christmas trees, wreaths and red bows around town. He also loves to see all the Christmas lights. “Lights ON!”

All he wants to do every day is “watch elmo? watch elmo? watch elmo?” I clearly need to cut the tv time! He’s also into Finding Nemo and Bob the Builder but Sesame Street is still king.

His absolute favorite expression right now is “I need that”…yea. He says it all the time whenever he wants something. “I need that.” No, buddy, you don’t!

He’s mastered his letters but we’re still working on counting. I often hear him counting out 1, 2, 5! ha! We’ll get there!

He really loves Spencer. Honestly the first thing he asks when I get him up in the morning is usually “where ya-ya?” and when I pick him up from school his first question is “where ya-ya?” So happy these boys get to grow up together!

He’s back to being a great sleeper. He goes down for a nap between 1 and 2:00 and will sleep 2 to 3 hours. At night he sleeps from 8:00 to around 7:30. Yay!

He doesn’t walk anywhere – he runs. He runs all over this house, usually in full fireman gear including two black gloves!

He’s definitely got a sweet tooth like his momma! Last week a friend brought us dinner and included an entire pan of brownies. One night after dinner I asked him if he’d like some chocolate. Needless to say, he loved it! For the next several nights as soon as he finished dinner, he’d ask for ‘ssert (dessert) and “choc? milk?” I wasn’t sorry when the brownies ran out because he started to think you got ‘ssert after every meal and even asked for some choc and milk after breakfast one day! boy after my own heart! 😉

I could not love this funny, sweet, sensitive, loving little boy any more. He tests my patience every single day but then I look at him and just thank my lucky stars that he’s mine.

He’s pretty awesome.
