12 months!!


Happy Birthday to Max. This past year has been amazing and life-changing. He is now taking baby steps and he gets so excited when he makes it! He loves to hand me things and say "thank you", which sounds more like "thaan kaa or thaa thaa". It works out when he gets something he isn't suppose to have I say "thank you" and he gives it to me. He also likes handing me the forks and spoons if I say "thank you" after every one. So cute! He sleeps well at night (8-7 usually), unless he gets cold or his teething. He loves bath time, playing with his toys and pushing things around. He also loves climbing the stairs. We usually have to put up the baby gate because he's quick, if we leave him alone for a minute he is up the stairs. He is eating really well. When he wants more he says "mmmmmm" or "mama". He lets you know when he's finished...that's when he proceeds to throw his food on the floor. He is still drinking formula, but we'll start on whole milk after our trip this weekend. We have his 1 year appointment next week, so I'll update with his stats then.

It's my party

Boy, did we have a good time this weekend! We loved having a house full of loving friends and family. We are so thankful for those that came to share this very special day with our family. It is amazing to see how much love there is for Max. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, cake and then some!! That was followed by a piñata full of candy...and then cake.
Max didn't quite know what to think of his smash cake, but he loved the icing. He also loved playing with his new train table and the many, many, many new toys he received. Definitely time to think about toy storage.

Birthday boy

11 months....a little late


Sorry we are little late with this post, but it seems that we've been busy with a "whole lotta nuthin"! Max and I have been battling the crud for about a week or two. He is getting another tooth (he has 3 so far). We've been spending time with Honey(Shawn's mom), she has been sweet enough to come and help me out with appointments and the everyday routine. We're planning Max's 1st birthday party. Shawn has been working on a big project at work, so our time has been very limited. Max is getting more mobile by the day. He is standing alone at times and has taken a few steps. He still is most comfortable crawling or cruising on furniture. He likes his push toys and walking with momma. He is very vocal, although it's a stretch to say he is saying words yet. He loves to laugh and knows how to get your attention. He is learning to eat with a spoon. He does NOT like me to feed him. At first I thought he was just not hungry. Then I figured out, if he does it himself he will eat it. This has been fun, but messy. He also likes to dip his food in sauces. I think he learned this watching me at Wings N More a few weeks ago. So much more that I can't remember. Loving our son so much!

And it seems that my waist line just keeps on expanding. I think the old wives tale about showing early is so true. I am feeling movements which has been fun. I talk to Max about his new sibling, although I know he doesn't understand. We are hoping to find out the gender of the new baby in early March.

He cruises along on everything, walls, furniture, people, etc.)

He has the cutest profile
