Friedman Family: What Makes A Toddler Tick?

Toddler Treats:
I have been doing extensive research on what a toddler should be eating. How many carbs, proteins, fat, veggies, fruit, etc. and after all my time spent I realized that Max's little body is going to tell what it needs. He is not a picky eater but I feel like maybe he should be eating more. I figure that if he was hungry he would let me know...right?!?!?
The other night I made these delicious homemade and healthy chicken strips with different dipping sauces and my boy gobbled it up. We also made rice krispy treats and he had a ton of fun helping his mom mom. Although, I am pretty sure he just liked the eating marshmallow part :)

Maxwell also has taken a liking to an organic carrot apple juice. He also has mastered the straw! He struggled at first but he drink out of one like a pro!

Toddler Toes:
I think that any mother finds their child's toes just yummy. I can't get enough of his chubby little feet.

Toddler Toddles:
Speaking of those chubby feet. They have been doing lots of walking. He walks all the time and hardly crawls anymore. He is really testing just how fast his little legs can go. We have had a few falls but no tears. His little feet have been experiencing many different textures from grass to sand and he has not found a texture he doesn't like.

But my absolute favorite is how his little hand reaches for mine and we hold hands and stroll wherever our little hearts desire.

Toddler Talk:
This boy can talk. I know that I have said this before but really he picks up a new word almost daily.
We can now say and understand; cat, cup, hot, up, all done, all gone, ruff ruff, ball, mom mom, dada, pop, poop, dog, and he is working on cracker!

Here is a small video of Max saying mom mom. I don't think that it will ever get old to hear those precious words.

Telling his mom mom all about it!

Toddler Tantrums:
My sweet sweet Maxwell can throw a fit. I mean if he doesn't get his way the world is coming to an end. I do understand that children are very egocentric but I mean really! I have been working with him on no and what it means. He doesn't like it but as soon as I redirect him he seems okay.
One of the tantrum faces!

Tired Toddler:
This boy loves to snuggle up on my chest and cuddle till he falls asleep. I love it! The last few weeks he would not let me rock him or snuggle him. So my dear Max your mom mom really loves this stage, lets not out grow it anytime soon!
