Max Update

Max is rapidly nearing his 3rd birthday...how did that happen??? This week has been big for him. He is beginning to transition into the next class at school...which is PRESCHOOL!!! His teacher says he's been doing a great job during his time in preschool, and that he's definitely ready for it. The preschool teacher said Max has already mastered almost all of the puzzles in the preschool classroom, and Max is excited to be back in class with his friend Hunter, who moved up there a couple of months ago. We are also in full potty training mode. Max needs to be potty trained before he's able to go to preschool for good, and last week was Potty Extravaganza at school and he really took off. We are at 3 days now with no accidents, wish we would have started this a couple of months ago!

Maddy's First Step

Maddy took her first step today! She was in the middle of Max's bedroom while I was hanging up some clothes, and she stood right up, took a step with her left foot, and stood for a bit longer! Far from a true walker, but our little girl is growing up quick! Speaking of little, Maddy's weight has dropped off to the 2nd percentile (she was born in the 7th). She isn't taking well to solids, after 4+ months of trying, but we're still working on it. We've met with a speech therapist to see what's going on, but no answers as of yet. She eats what she wants...which is primarily milk, pretzels, and chocolate Haagen Daaz ice cream, which she eats with a vengance. So for now, we're loading up on milk and ice cream and hoping she catches up soon!
