12 Months!!! (A little late...)

Being that our Baby Max is 15 Months old today, I thought it was only fitting to do his 12 Month post :)

I guess I got a little sidetracked with Max's 1st B-day festivities that I forgot to finish this post and actually post it.

I am still in shock that our first-born is already ONE!!!

Look how much that monkey has shrunk in the last year!

(There is no way that my baby boy has grown THAT much!)

Look how teeny-tiny Max was in that picture!!
(And, that was when he was a month old.)

All About Max at 12 Months:

Dr.'s Appointment: Weight: 20lbs. 9oz. (17%); Length: 28 3/4 in. (17%); and Head Circumference: 19 in. (92%). If you recall, Max weighed 6lbs. 9oz. when he was born, so he has more than tripled his weight! He was 20 1/2 in. when he was born, so Max has grown over 8 in. this year.

Eating: Still a great eater! However, you don't love most veggies. I am still baffled by this because I don't think I have met a vegetable that was not my friend! You must take after your daddy in that department. So, we are working on that :) You LOVE meat. You like most fruit, especially bananas and grapes. You also love some apple sauce.

Sleeping: You are a wonderful sleeper. You have transitioned to one nap a day. Which ranges from 1.5-3 hours. You usually go to bed at around 6:30p.m. and wake about 6:30 a.m. We are working on moving your bedtime back because it sure is difficult to do anything in the evenings when you have such an early bedtime :) You still only like to sleep in your crib. Never have you just fallen asleep in a random place (i.e. the highchair).

Activity: You are officially a walker! You took your first steps on the Sunday before your 1st Birthday, August 22nd, which was your expected due date. How ironic!!! You are a very cautious walker, which make for a very happy Mommy. You amaze us every day with your vocabulary. You say apple, Mama, Dada, Ball, Dog, and Vroom-vroom (for a car). Many times you will repeat a word that we ask you to say. It is so sweet! You really like to babble a lot and you act like you are carrying on a conversation.

Misc.: You started Mother's Day out about a week after your 1st B-day. You go one day a week, which is perfect! You seem to really enjoy it. I was really worried about you napping, but you seem to do fine whether you actually nap at MDO or not. You LOVE dogs and cats. You get so excited when you see either. Our neighbor has a couple of indoor/outdoor cats & you just squeal when you see them outside.

You are such a joy!!! We could never have imagined how wonderfully blessed our lives would be with you!!! We look forward to celebrating your life for all the years to come!!!

We love you to the Moon & Back Maxwell Miles!!!
