12 months

How can my baby be one? It seems like he’s always been here but at the same time like we brought him home from the hospital just last week. I know that doesn’t make sense.

Somehow we’ve reached our final month circle and Max wears it so well!

Since I compared Raelyn from birth to one in her 12 month post, I’ll do the same for Max.

birth to one So much changes in one year!

Max is a little bit mischievous. He likes to find cords and outlets, much to my dismay. He also loves crawling over to Sheba’s bowls and pulling himself up to stand so he can clang on them. He pulls open drawers and throws random utensils around when I am working in the kitchen.

He cruises around the house going from one piece of furniture to another and using the walls to keep himself steady. He also loves pushing Raelyn’s stroller around. He’ll be walking unassisted any day now.

128Max’s favorite toys are his fire truck and dump truck. Really he enjoys anything with wheels. He loves pushing those trucks around!

He still only has his 2 bottom front teeth. He is pretty good at gumming his foods though and loves anything he can put in his mouth by himself. His favorite foods are those that come from mama’s plate!

He hasn’t quite mastered the sippy cup yet. We have tried hard spouts, soft spouts, and straw spouts. Every once in awhile he’ll get a sip to drink but mostly he just chews on the spouts or straws.

Max easily made the transition from formula to milk. Someday we hope to get rid of the bottles!

He has definitely been my easy-going baby. Max is quick to flash a smile and happy to relax in mama’s lap. He is the sweetest boy I’ve ever met!

Max, we couldn’t be more proud of you! You are a gift from God and are loved more than words can express.

Happy Birthday, Buddy!
