Happy 8 months sweet lil boy!

Ok...so it is really hard to get a picture of him in his chair these days! So you can pretty much tell from other pictures that he is getting bigger!

Max's friend Noah came to play yesterday while his mommy appliqued some t-shirts for his older brother.

Max and Noah played so sweet together.

Max actually shared his drumset toy a little. I couldn't believe it! He loves it so much!

He doesn't just share his drum with anyone....

It was such a nice day Hannah and Max went on a stroll around the neighborhood in Cooper's wagon! Thanks Cooper for letting us borrow your wagon while you were napping! Max loved riding in the wagon!

Max is 8 months old today! He is weighing in at 20lbs and he is 29 1/2inches! He is really starting to look and act like a big boy and not a baby anymore! So sad! Even though he is busy busy he still is my lil snuggler and he gives kisses ALL the time! So sweet!

New things:
* He eats pretty much everything like his daddy! HA! He has had most of the baby meats. He started third foods this week and he likes them ok. I think he prefers finger foods at this point but he is not quite ready since he only has one tooth! He screams for our food. It is too funny!

* He is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. He just started pulling up on his crib in the last two days. I go in in the morning and he is standing peeking over the crib at me! SO CUTE! I found out that he won't crawl out of the playroom without pants on because he doesn't like for his legs to touch the cold tile. So funny!

* He has really gotten attached to his B (blankie) he wants to take it out of the crib in the morning and carry it around the playroom with him. Guess this is his new attachment.

* He loves watching Baby McDonald, Baby Einstein.

* He loved playing with my bottle of vitamins (don't worry it was supervised). He would shake it and just laugh and laugh. So I bought him some maracas (spelling?) and he just loves them!

* He is really playing well with other babies!

* He talks ALL the time like his momma! And for those of you that know me...you know I like to talk!!!

That about sums it up....I think! You know how babies are, they change everyday! It is so amazing to watch him grow and change everyday! I thank God for giving me the chance to watch him grow! He is such a wonderful gift! Thank you God for my sweet lil Max!!

More projects...

Well, I haven't been updating as frequently because I have been using all my free time to applique and embroider things for Max and friends. Let's just say it is VERY ADDICTING and I LOVE IT! I went to my first sewing class tonight to learn how to make a johnny for Max (for those who don't know what a johnny is...it is basically a little jumper). It went pretty well! I am almost done with it. It is going to be his Easter outfit. Hopefully it will turn out good and I will post pics when I am done...but for now you can enjoy pics of my latest projects!

I don't like bananas....

So I gave Max some sliced bananas the other day since his favorite baby food fruit is bananas. I just knew he was going to love it! Well, actually he didn't like it at all! He made horrible faces and gagged! It was quite funny. Guess....he doesn't like bananas that much after all!

What a BEAUTFUL day!

Notice Hannah trying to rip her glasses off and Max with no care in the world! He is just so laid back!

Mr. LL cool J with his leg hiked up and his sunglasses!

We went to the park today with some friends! We were enjoying the one day of beautiful weather this week. It was like 65 degrees out and the sun was shining! The babies were just chillin while we walked around for a while. We did get on the swings and slides. I don't think they really cared about the playground just yet....give them some time and I bet we won't be able to get them off the playground! HA!

My first project!

Well, I broke down and got an embroidery machine. I LOVE IT! I did my first project Tuesday and it was so much fun! I haven't been able to make things for Max yet because I had to order a smaller hoop. I can't wait till that comes in! I have been buying designs lately to build up the library....who knew this could get so expensive. I do think in the long run it will save me a lot of money....well I hope so anyways! HA! I guess the whole point is...I am having fun!!!

We have a CRAWLER!!!

Max is officially crawling everywhere as of Sunday Feb. 15th! I can't believe it! He is just crawling wherever he wants to go. It is so darn cute. He smacks his little hands down so hard when he is crawling. He is a little dramatic (I have no idea where he gets that from...ha ha!) He crawls to daddy when daddy gets home at night...which by the way it so adorable! Craig just eats it up! We are having a lot of fun with him these days!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Note: his outfit says "I'm the man of your dreams!" HA! Too cute I just had to get it!!

Max just wanted to tell everyone HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Oh and he crawled half way across the room to DADDY!!! WAHOO!!! Will try and capture it on film and post later! Mylil man is getting VERY busy!!!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Baby Max sends his lil wet kisses out to everyone! We love you all!!

New addiction!!!

Made this one for Max for Valentines! You can see pics below of him in it! SO CUTE!

Made these for a friend's lil girls Madison and McKenzie!

My new addiction! I went over to a friends house the other day and learned how to applique and embroider on shirts! I must say I LOVE IT! Thank you Candice for teaching me how to do it! All the shirts turned out GREAT! I can't wait to make more!

7 1/2 months!

This is about the only way I can get him to sit in the chair these days....is either by giving him a book or tickling him! He is just SO busy!!!

Baby Max is 7 1/2 months! He is weighing in at 19 1/2 lbs and 29 inches.

Eating better these days....he takes about 4: 5-6oz bottles and baby food 3 times a day.

His favorite baby foods: squash, sweet potatoes, chicken and broccoli, turkey and green beans, and anything with bananas

His favorite table foods: grapes, bananas, bread, potatoes, rice (i think this is all i have tried with him....i think he is going to like any table food i give him)

Wearing: Size 3 diapers, 6-12 month clothes, and 6-12 month shoes!

New things: He pulled himself up to standing yesterday! Wahoo! Go Max! He is also crawling backwards. He pretty much gets to whatever he wants either by pulling himself, rolling, laying and then sitting back up, crawling backwards. If I sit him down at one thing in the playroom I can go back in 5 min later and he is across the room playing with something else. I just can't believe how BIG he is getting! I know I say this all the time. But it is just unbelievable that he is almost 8 months old!!!

Ears Update!

Feelin MUCH better!

Okay...so update on baby Max's ears!

Saturday 2/7: Went and had 2nd Rocephin shot! He cried for about 10min! I felt so sorry for him! Wish I could have taken those shots for him!

Monday 2/9: Back to MD to get 3rd Rocephin shot and he actually did not cry very long! He just wimpered for a little while. Poor Baby! I am SO glad the shots are OVER! Dr. Christion looked in his ears and said they were better but still pus in there. So she wanted to recheck them Thursday and go from there.

Thursday 2/12: Just a recheck! AND GUESS WHAT!!! CLEAR FLUID!!! YEAH!!!! However, if the fluid doesn't drain off by itself then we may have to go to ENT but for now we are doing good! YEAH!! I am so excited for Max! We want to thank everyone for all the prayers! God is good!!!
