9 months Old!

Max turned 9 months old on Wednesday. I really just can't believe it. He is just so stinkin' cute!! His little smile really melts my heart and I love when he "talks" to me and hugs me. He usually has A LOT to say - he must get that from his mom. He has started a new thing where if I try to hand him to someone he grabs a hold of me with both hands and won't let go. He started it at Thanksgiving. I think he may have gotten overwhelmed with all the people. He cries sometimes when I leave the room. It's so sad. We go to the dr. on the 19th so I'll be able to update more then. We are still sleeping through the night (when we are at home). We've just started eating a real lunch on a regular basis. He snacks a lot throughout the day. We still take our 10:30 and 2:30 naps and sometimes we take another one around 5:00 or so. Max still isn't crawling but he has started making some strides towards being a crawler. He still rolls ALL OVER the place. Now when he is on the hardwoods, he uses his hands to slide his body forward and backward (usually backwards). It's really funny to watch. He occasionally attempts to army crawl and tries to get on his knees. He really tries to crawl when he is in the bath tub. It is the most he has ever tried to crawl or get on his knees. We've decided it is due to the weightlessness of the water. It is GREAT and EXTREMELY cute! Now he'll even put weight on his legs and stand with assistance. He's just getting to be such a big boy. We can't wait for his First Christmas! Here are a couple of pictures. Enjoy and have a maxalicious week!!
