Maxim, you are the sweetest, happiest and silliest little boy ever. I feel I have lucked out with you and how good you are. Every week that passes you become even more fun to be around. I enjoy watching you learn and discover new things and most importantly I love when you laugh and smile. Your latest thing is giggling really hard when we play peak-a-boo with you. You will sit in the bed while we duck on each side of the bed and pop up saying peak-a-boo. You will roll with laughter at this every time. I find this hysterical.
You also laugh and giggle every time the dogs come anywhere near you. You find Madison and Izzy a lot of fun as you always want to pet them and explore to see what they are. My favorite thing is at the end of they day when I come home from work (or pick you up from the sitter's house) you squeal with joy and reach out for me. That just melts my heart. You are definitely a mamma's boy and I am loving every minute of it.
This past month you have decided you do not like the Bumbo at all as you want to sit up all by yourself. At the sitter's house you decided you wanted out of the Bumbo and got out, looked back at her and started laughing. I am happy she got a picture of this as I can definitely see you doing this. After that, the Bumbo got retired.
You think you are such a big boy out of your Bumbo sitting up all by yourself. You think you are an even bigger boy when you stand up. For both activities you have a huge smile on your face as if you are very proud of yourself. Sometimes it's hard to get you to sit down because you just want to stand ALL. THE. TIME.
Now that you are such a big boy sitting up all by yourself you sit in a high chair at restaurants and you think you are so cool.
You also want to feed yourself with the spoon or grab the dish with your food in it and feed yourself. When you do this I will let you so you can learn. You find this a lot of fun and I enjoy watching you learn...ok, I laugh more than anything, but we are both having fun.
You survived the month of March in Phoenix as it's spring training here and your daddy has us go to a Cubs game every weekend for the whole month. You were such a good little boy the whole time. You enjoyed playing outside, watching all the people and going for walks to the splashpad and of course the porta pottie's with me.
You still stay home with daddy on Thursdays and Fridays and you enjoy this just as much as daddy does. This month you experienced the craziness of daddy and March Madness. Poor guy!
We still call you The Big Man all the time, but we are trying to use your name so that you don't get confused on what your name is. That is hard because you will always be the Big Man to us. That nickname came about because you were so small when you were born, but a big deal.
We had our first selfie together.
We celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day together. By celebrated I mean I put you in a cute onesie and took many photos of your smiling face.
You love sitting in the grass and running your fingers through it as you try to figure out what it is.
You are still drooling like crazy, but no teeth yet.
Maxim, I am more than happy to have you in our lives as you bring us so much joy. I love our little family and I look forward to watching you grow and learn more new things this next month.
Love, your mommy
