As Max's vocabulary expands I thought it would be fun to capture funny things he says in a "Kids Say the Darndest Things" fashion. Here is the first installment!

Max: Garbage truck?
Mommy: I'm not sure. It might be.
Max: Thinks for a few moments. Garbage car?

Fun with Granddaddy, too! Three generations of Lilly men.

Fun at the Park
Last weekend we rediscovered an awesome park near our house! Ben and I visited it several years ago (pre-Max) and we decided to check it out again. They have a fantastic playground with lots of toddler sized equipment (usually there is just one thing made for toddlers, so we were excited). Best of all, there are tons of paved paths, a huge pond with ducks, fish, and turtles, little streams, and big open green spaces suited to wearing out a toddler before dinner and bedtime. :-) We will definitely be back again soon!
(When you see Max's bright red face, don't worry! We all had on plenty of sunscreen. Max is really hot-natured and gets red faced and super sweaty hair when it's warm and he is running around.)
Max pulled Ben's hat over his face and decided to run around. This kid is fearless! Checkout all the running (and laughing) he did when he couldn't see anything but black!

Where is my baby?
Excuse me? Have you seen my baby? Someone has replaced him with a giant toddler.

A little of this and that...
Max is about three months away from his second birthday. How this is possible I'll never know, because just a few weeks ago I was trying to keep mittens on his hands so he wouldn't scratch his delicate newborn skin. Next thing I know we will be moving him in to his college dorm!
Isn't this shirt a riot? Our neighbors got it for him when they went on a trip to Nashville.
These days when people ask, "How old is your son?" Ben and I have started to reply, "Almost two." Max is talking up a storm, stringing words together, counting (in English and Spanish!), identifying many letters, mastering eating with utensils, and is in to everything (if you have a drink near the edge of a table, look out!).
Thank goodness he can't quite turn the doorknobs just yet!
To boot, he's been moved in to his "big boy" car seat which he loves. Now he can see out the windows and announces every type of vehicle we pass. This means car rides entail a chorus of, "Big truck! Bus! Car! SUV! Jeep! Van! Daddy's car!" from the backseat (all black cars are, "Daddy's car!" haha).
He's had a "real" haircut before, but this most recent haircut really made him look grown-up. His face is thinning out and he's starting to look more like a little boy! On a side note, we were able to get the same lady, Kay, who cut his hair last time. It's impressive how well she can cut hair with Max wiggling and turning his head all over the place!
This is the face we get sometimes in response to, "Say cheese!"
The not-so-fun part of "almost two" is the tantrums. Who knew being served food on a plate when you want your food in a bowl would be so distressing! We've just been taking it in stride and know that "this too shall pass". Ah, how perspective changes once you're no longer sleep deprived first time parents. :-)
Max was "reading" a catalog that came in the mail while Ben and I were talking in the kitchen. I guess we were talking too loudly because Max went off by himself to sit in the blanket basket and enjoy a little privacy. haha
Last quick thing I want to remember for myself...
When we were in Hilton Head I was putting Max down for a nap one day. We were saying a quick prayer before I laid him down and he tagged on a little prayer of his own, "Mommy. Daddy. Happy. Amen." That little boy just melts my heart!! Being a mommy is pretty much the best thing in the whole entire world.
