Maksim's Train Table Video and 22 Month Updates


We cannot help but to spoil Maksim.  Maksim will soon be 2 years old but I found such a great deal on a train table that I could not pass it up.  Plus it is way too big to hide from him for the next 2 months.  So, it ended up being a early birthday present.  We did give it to him on is 22 month birthday if that counts for anything.  He is train obsessed these days so this train table is one toy that he plays with daily.  Just seeing his face light up when he plays with it makes me so happy I can burst.  From the video you can see we have one happy and overwhelmed toddler.

What Maksim is up to at 22 months old:
  • He is a puzzle master.  Whether the wooden kind or on my iPad he is able to put most simple puzzles together by himself.
  • You ask him where anything is and he is going to point and tell you "over there."
  • He claims to be "stuck" quite often.  Whether in the laundry hamper or underneath blankets he calls out:  "help, I'm stuck."
  • We can get him to go pee in his potty at least once a day now.  Kaka, well he constantly denies he makes one but we sure smell them.  I think it's time for pull-ups.
  • He is always an amazing eater but lately watermelon, tiny sausages, and bacon are his favs.
  • He loves getting tickled and asks for "more" all the time.
  • He kisses my stomach and says "baby."
  • He is wearing a size 8 shoe already.  Huge feet!!!
  • He is insanely obsessed with his Aunt Jelena.  It's all about "Teta" (Aunt in Serbian) these days.
  • He is already making fun of me by way of imitation.  He does a really good fake laugh.
  • When he is throwing a tantrum our go-to way to make him listen/calm down is asking him if he wants to go to sleep.  The answer is always "no."  Followed by asking him if he is going to be a good boy he answers "otay" (okay).  If only I was punished by way of nap.
  • He still give the best over-emphasized kisses and hugs.
Love,
First Gen Fam
