Something new everday

It seems that since Max turned 12 months (which was about a week ago), he's been doing something new. So I am trying to keep track of these things since I plan to turn this blog into a book of memories. I have been signing to Max for a few months now, just a few things like milk, more, water, mom and dad. This week I was asking him to get his milk and he responded by giving me the sign, then going to get his milk. It was like an "ah ha" moment. Now I am so ready to start introducing new words. I hope this will ease frustrations when he wants to communicate with me. Also, I use these words in both English and Spanish, so I hope he'll learn both!

He has been mimicking what we say. This week he started saying "uh oh". I got so excited that I started accidentally dropping/throwing things just to get him to say it. Well, I think he assumed that you throw things and then say "uh oh". Not quite what I wanted, but it is still adorable!

This kid loves books! We have many board books and I make sure to take them to appointment and such to keep him entertained. I finally started reading Goodnight Moon to him before bedtime and he loves it. Loves to touch the books and squeals in excitement!

I know his little sister isn't here yet, but I had to get this shirt!

He loves interacting with us and other people. So cute to see his personality developing. I'm always giving kisses to Max and today for the first time, he brought his face and lips to mine and said "mmm". My baby kissed me!!! I was so excited I asked Shawn to get it on video. Of course at that point Max was over it and more interested in other things, but I still got in on video.


Ha, I ain't too proud to beg!

This weekend we took a quick trip to College Station to go to Chadito's 7th birthday party. Unfortunately, Max had a cold and being at an ice skating rink was making it worse, so we popped in and popped out. Great to see everyone though. Then we relaxed at my parents an got to spend time with them and Maritza. Nothing like pizza, Coke, ice cream and Forrest Gump!
