Max and Mom (Sometimes we invite Dad)

 Mom's handsome man

 Monkey Boy - no crawling forward yet, but he can roll and go backwards to get anywhere.

 Swings were great!  He loved it.

Max and I watch Ellen everyday - Max claps along with the audience and loves Ellen's voice.

A Sunflower for Mom

Will and Max got me a beautiful Sunflower today on their walk.  It was a super surprise when I got home from a busy day at work.

Max is clapping!

Max has started clapping and it is darling.  If you say "Max Clap" he will.  He still doesn't like a whole room of people clapping and I still see him get a sad face during a clapping moment in Elmo's World, but he can clap now and that is what counts.

I checked Mom, there were no yellow spots.

It finally snowed more than a dusting in Utah.  So I took Max out and had him "try" some snow.  Max doesn't really like the cold, and tasting snow I don't think was on his top ten things to do either.

Crawling is tough Mom!

Max hasn't figured out this whole crawling this yet.  He can scoot on him bum and push himself backwards, and will try to reach for just about anything, but forward is a struggle.  He is so frustrated with himself.

What I love most about my day - hanging out with Max!

8 months

Max turned 8 months on 2/18/2012.  I can't believe I already have an 8 month old baby.  Max isn't really a baby anymore - he is a 30 inch 25 pound little man.  I love his chubby cheeks, legs, arms, and everything chubby on him.  His smiles are heart melting and he knows how to work a whole room of people.  His new favorite things are:  Pancakes, Prunes, Mangoes, and apple juice.  He has recently been heard saying "da-da" and "hey."  Oh I do love my little man so much!

8 months of fun with many more months to come!

Max is the happiest baby!  I love it.
