Summer Fun!!






Well it has now been 7 months since we arrived home. Max is doing great!! We have found him to be part fish. He loves the water. In June we went to Florida to visit grandma and grandpa they have a pool and he really loved to swim. We were there a week and his swimming skills improved each day. He also loves to fish. He liked the fact that he usually caught more fish than baba. We also went camping in our camper for the first time. We were with some friends and their families. Max had a great time. He had fun riding his bike around the campground. One day I decided to go for a ride with him so I hopped on our friends bike. When Max saw I could ride he said " mama how you know?" "You gooood I like riding with you." It was so cute. Another quick story. We have a quick set up pool that is about 12ft. around and 2ft. high. One day he wanted to go, as he says jwimmin he asked me if I could go. Reluctantly I went in and put on my suit. When I walked out of the door he said "Oh mama you BEAUTIFUL!" It was just so cute, I love that he thinks his mama is beautiful even in her swimsuit. His English is coming along, most of the time he gets his message across. He likes to say "oh man" , "a lil lil bit" "what the...." he doesn't finish that. He also likes to tease me. He will say "I'm teasing you". I think he is losing his Chinese language. He tells me he doesn't remember how to say things. I think the food is still our biggest challenge. He is very picky. He loves popcorn right now apples, chicken, McDonalds chicken nuggets and french fries. We do have to work on his patients, he has none. When he wants something or wants to do something it has to be right now. He really has improved he still has no patients but he doesn't act like he did 3 months ago when he has to wait a few minutes.
