Look at my little munchkin! This year went by so fast, blesssed day after blessed day. Max is full of energy and curiosity and affection. He crawls like a speed demon, cruises with ease, climbs the stairs, and once in a while stands alone. He is rarely still! He is fascinated by the dishwasher, the sweeper, the dog's bowls, lights and fans, and many other non-toys. He has four teeth and the best smile! He likes to be tickled and chased. He loves all his siblings (Will can really get him laughing) and the dog, and has begun to enjoy books for more than just chewing on! He enjoys plenty of table food and eats like a man some meals. When he wants a drink he says "Ahh", like you or I would after taking a big gulp, so cute. He says "DaDa" all the time and uses my name, "MaMa", mostly to mean food! He also says "Doggie" which I think means animal of any kind. He understands so much and is incredibly aware. He waves at things he want or wants to know the name of. He's still Mama's boy and I am loving it. We are all so, so thankful for God's gracious gift of Max Henry in our lives!
Max had his first party with cousin Audrey, who is just 9 days older than him. It was a wonderful celebration in my brother's family's beautiful backyard, a big gathering with family and old friends. My sister was even here from Canada!
Celebration #2 was this past weekend with Todd's parents. A sweet time!
