What's New?

Celebrating Easter at Coronado Island
Celebrating Mika's Birthday at Il Fornaio Restaurant
Maksim started Soccer practice with cousin Milana
Its been a little busy in our household as of late.  Going to try to catch up on a lot of stuff in this post.

So What's New?  In no particular order:
  • Huge!  Maksim is 99.5% potty trained.  3 weeks going now.  I am thankful I will never have to buy him diapers ever again.
  • Back to working out.  I tried my first Pilates Reformer Class and I swear it was made for me.
  • I busted Stan's car.  Not good but we got it back from the shop and it looks better than new.
  • Stan is the best.  We have 4th row tickets to Depeche Mode in September.  
  • Lazar is 5 months old now and so close to sitting up on his own.  Going to try him on solids in a couple weeks.
  • Mika, my aunt, is in San Diego for a visit!  Yeah!  She is providing us with so much kid help I feel like I am on vacation.
  • Maksim finished his first session of swim lessons at the YMCA.  Being the youngest and fearless he was put in time out a ton.  He is our time out swimming champion.
  • His vocabulary has increased 10-fold in the last month.  New words, songs, and sentences.
  • Just booked a kid-free all inclusive vacation with Stan to Jamaica!
  • Maksim got a big boy bed.  I mean its big!  Queen size and high!
  • Easter Egg Hunts are the best.  We had to do about 30-40 egg hunts at home for a super excited toddler.
  • Green beans and broccoli are becoming Maksim's fav foods.  I call them "green fries" and "trees."
  • Argan oil for the face is my new friend.
  • Stan got us tickets to see Adam Ant too! 
  • We had an episode of hand, foot, mouth in our home a few weeks ago.  Both Maksim and Lazar got it.  Gross and so glad its done with it.  
  • Still house hunting.  So frustrating.  There has to be a perfect house out there for us?!
  • Working on call for the first time since I had Lazar.  The middle of the night calls are not appreciated by Lazar.  
  • Maksim started Soccer Shots with cousin Milana.
  • We officially have a teething 5 month old.
Love,
First Gen Fam
