Bye, Bye

Well, we've been waving bye-bye pretty steady for over a week!! It's different from before - now you can almost get him to do it on command - well, when he wants to cooperate. It even sounds like he is saying bye-bye with the motions. It's so cute!! Now he kinda does his own version of Woo Pig Sooiiee (even though the Hogs just play with our emotions). He only raises one arm and just makes a humming noise that resembles woooo. It too is absolutely adorable - well, again, when he does it! Also, I think we're taking a break from teething because my sweet angel baby is back to normal! We're sleeping from about 9:00 to 6:30 - he eats at 6:30 and then sleeps until about 8:30. I love it because he snuggles with us in our bed from 6:30 until Kelly and I get up. On days that I go into the office, I actually have to wake him up - not complaining, I WELCOME that problem! (I haven't written about it because I didn't want to jinx it but we've consistently been back on track!!) I'm sure Max feels like it is just paybacks because on days I work from home Max is the one to wake me up. It's so sweet. He just rubs on my face (well some days he pinches my face or pulls my hair). It's GREAT! We've also weaned off the right before bed feeding and he puts himself to sleep, well for a month or so now!! I just can't believe how big my baby is getting!


He LOVES feeding himself!! Meal times have become even more fun. My favorite part of the day (well it's a toss up between bedtime and morning) is watching him bathe and get ready for bed. He is SO cute!! and SO happy!!! I can't even put into words how I feel! He is definitely just the cutest, sweetest and most animated during those two times. His face just beams with pride and his smile is gigantic as Kelly carries him around. Just ADORABLE!! I want to always remember it!


Today, he and I are going to Texarkana. I have court down there on Monday and Max gets to spend the day with Aunt Allison! I don't know who is more excited?!! Wish them luck! I'm so grateful because I haven't spent a night away from him and am not quite ready yet, (I know it's so silly, but I can't help it) so I'm very glad he gets to go with me. Thanks Allison!!


Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!! We have so much to be thankful for this year and just can't wait to spend it with family. Take care and hopefully we'll have lots of fun pictures from Thanksgiving.

Hugs!
