Maxim, you are such a sweet boy with a ton of energy. You laugh and giggle all the time and you love to snuggle with me and I am just enjoying every second of it because I know one day you will not want to snuggle with your mommy and daddy. If you are crabby there is a reason for it. You are either tired or hungry because you do not just fuss for no reason. This helps us out a lot to figure out what you want...you make it very easy on us.
This past month you experienced daddy's Christmas, which is the craziness of March Madness. Of course we supported our team the Badgers as we watched them together in the Final Four.
We also celebrated daddy's birthday. You had fun helping him open his presents. Seeing you do this will make your birthday a lot of fun. Your favorite part was the tissue paper.
I came across this adorable rocking chair online and thought it would be a great decoration for your bedroom. It conveniently arrived on baseball's opening day and you just love it. I set you on the chair and you got it rocking. Your giggle and laughter the whole time made every penny worth it. Now, it's not decoration for your room, but instead it's another one of your toys.
Speaking of toys, your favorite right now is your red car. You just love to press every button and play with every inch of that toy.
Not only do you like your toy car, but you also got a kick out of my car. We were waiting for daddy one day while we hung out in my car and you just kept laughing as you played with the steering wheel. You also managed to turn on the blinker and thought that was way cool. Of course I had to get many photos of your giggly self.
You started seeing your new sitter, Ms. Marie, this past month and everything is going well. You get along great with her two year old daughter and you love going there. You are usually pretty exhausted when I pick you up.
You started sleeping through the night about three weeks ago. We don't talk about it due to fear of jinxing ourselves, but so far so good and we are enjoying getting a little more sleep these days.
You are an excellent eater. I couldn't ask for a better eater. You pretty much eat anything and you inhale your food. I pretty much have to try and slow you down, but you do not like that at all. You still do not eat sweet potatoes and you don't care for blueberry's but you will eat them. It just takes you a little longer to eat them since you are not a fan. Other than that you are eager to try new foods and love it when it's time to eat. Right now your favorite is cheese, toast, cheerios, peas, bananas and mangos.
We had a mommy and Max dad this month since I had some time off of work and we went to the zoo. It was so much more fun this time because you were able to see a lot more of the animals. You LOVED the goats, flamingos and elephants. After a couple hours at the zoo you were exhausted and passed out.
We have started to teach you how to use a sippy cup since you started to refuse the bottle. I have no problem nursing you, but for some reason you just do not a bottle anymore. This has been going on for the past month. Your doctor told us to keep trying, but in the mean time try the sippy cup because maybe you are just over the bottle.
You still do not have any teeth yet. You are definitely teething, but no teeth in sight. We are not worried as they will come in when they are ready.
You had your first Easter this past month. We enjoyed taking you to meet the Easter bunny, which by the way, you LOVED! I also had a good time giving you an Easter basket. You definitely make the holidays a ton more fun than they ever used to be.
You still LOVE the dogs. They make you giggle just by walking into the room. You enjoy petting them and giving them kisses. Madison sees you as an opportunity because she knows you will drop a morsel of food over the side of your high chair. Izzy is a protector of you. She does not like it if you cry and we let you cry longer than a minute. She wants us to get up and get you right away. Wherever you are, Izzy is. She always has one eye on you at all times.
Well, Maxim, we are two months away from your big birthday and from your mommy breaking down in tears because her baby boy is growing up. You are the sweetest most loveable little boy any mom would be grateful to have. I feel lucky and blessed to have you in our lives.
Love, your mommy
