Max The Chef

So as many adventures of an 18 month old go, Max loves to get into things. We have made it possible that he can get into the drawers in the kitchen without any danger to himself. However, I have started to notice how much Max imitates us! Of course we are careful of anything we say, due to his budding vocabulary, but he has also copies our actions as well. The other day I was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready and Max went to the drawer with the oven mitts, pulled one out, put it on his hand and walked over to the oven where he pulled down the door and said "mmmmm..." And being the good little chef that he is he even put his oven mitt away...which is not something he learned from mom! So of course we had to get a video of it which you can see above in the youtube bar (or click here). As for other adventures in the Anderson home, I guess it is true what they say, every child is different...even in utero! Baby #2 has given us the opportunity to enjoy "morning" sickness (which is actually at night) since we obviously missed out on that experience with Max. But I can't complain considering the stories I have heard from others. At least I have energy during the day to chase Max, and Baby #2 starts fussing after Max's bedtime... what I nice sibling! :-)
