He's ONE!!!!

Yes-I've been neglectful still. I'll try to catch up next week, I promise I will. But first things first- MY BABY BOY IS ONE!!!

We made the mistake of trying to do pictures before his bottle this morning since daddy has to go to work and mommy has to go to bed because she works tonight!!

And this is what he thinks of these chair pictures..."I've had enough!!"

"gimme my bottle and let me play!!"

Mr. Max- Mommy and Daddy love you so much and you've been a delight this year. Thanks for being so patient with us as we learn how to be parents!!!


Max is doing great with everything. He's standing all the time and getting very close to taking steps. He crawls everywhere and gets into everything!!! He's tired of letting us feed him but only will feed himself cheerios!! We're working through food now!! He's also ready for whole milk-we'll probably start that transition next week. His one year appointment is Tuesday so I'll be sure to post his stats!!!

He's his daddy's boy-definitely favoring him when we're both in the room. It's ok though-Daddy loves it. He'll cuddle fine with mommy though too. He really is a delight-such a good kid!! It's only rough when he's teething or bathtime!!! (bathtime is a crap shoot!!!-sometimes he loves it, other times he hates it!!!).

Happy Birthday Bubby Max!!! Mommy and Daddy love you!!!

Neglectful Blogger

I've been uber neglectful with Max updates on the blog. We have a few days of this week and I hope to catch you back up on the ins and outs!! Here's a sneak preview-we have vacation pictures!!! I'll get those pictures up this week-I do promise.

We have a crawler!!!

Yes folks-after months of worrying-we have a crawler-just shy of 10 months old!!
It's so exciting to watch him figure things out and he's doing great!!! It's obvious that Max decided to crawl when he was good and ready-not a minute too late!!!
With this new milestone comes new issues though-I think I've read that with newfound freedom of crawling comes new fears. Max is uber clingy but doesn't want to be held - it's silly really. He screams if we set him down and walk away (not that we'd ever walk that far). But pick the boy up and all he does is squirm!!
We're learning more and more about his personality. Max is back to liking his stroller (after a little stroller strike stint). Depending on the day (and possibly the alignment of the other planets and how far we tilt our head) he doesn't like his high chair. Really, there is no rhyme or reason to it!!
He loves to stand and does it as much as possible-which leads us to believe that walking isn't far behind. I don't know if I'm ready for all that!!!
