Poor Baby Max

Max was sick the week before last. He was just so sad!! Here are some pictures of my sick baby boy. You can see in his eyes how bad he felt. Poor Baby Max!

As I was typing "Poor Baby Max" it made me think, "When will he no longer be Baby Max?" He is definitely growing like a weed, however, he is still very much my baby boy. He wears mainly 2T clothes. When we went to the dr. while he was sick, his weight was down a little. He's around 26 lbs. and measures somewhere around 34-35 inches. He is still walking around furniture and the walls. Climbing is definitely one of his favorite pass times. He discriminately says Momma and Dad-da now. I must admit, hearing him say Dad-da might be one of the sweetest sounds I've ever heard!! For some reason, he says it so much cuter than Momma sounds, even though it still makes me smile when I hear him call for me. He can identify the baby in his book and says the same word for all dogs, including Rocky. He can point to your eye and say eye. We've been working on nose.

He still loves his monkeys! He breaks out into the biggest smile if you sing 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed or 5 Little Monkeys Swinging from a Tree. He spent the night with his Shugah last weekend. She taught him some hand movements to 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. He just LOVES it! (The itsy-bitsy spider is still a real staple!) He met Aunt Toochie for the first time and played with Memaw and Papaw (well between not during the Belmont, I'm sure). They said he was SO much fun!! Shugah spent the night with us Friday after Shugah and Max's mom went to hear Willie Nelson with Chris and crew. (Pop joined us for Catfish) Kelly and Max were too pooped to join us for Willie - they were both in bed around 8!! Max was just all smiles when he woke up with her the next morning. It was a much welcomed surprise! He was a wild man that morning too! (I think he was showing out for her!) I love how much Max loves his family! We've had lots more fun so get ready for a few more posts!
