It's Max again....Mommy is finally back on track (I hope) with my newsletters.
This past week has been a busy one for me, the weather has been so good that I have been going outside every day! First thing in the morning me and Mommy and Daddy all go for a walk to "get our blood going". After Daddy goes to work, Mommy usually takes me out again in the afternoon to do shopping or groceries and stuff. I love love love being outside seeing the world!
I am still working on crawling, I am getting closer and closer everyday! Mommy thinks it will be in the next 2 weeks that I will probably get the hang of it. I am really good and rocking back and forth on my hands and knees though, so that's a start!!! I said "mama" for the first time on Friday....I said it a bunch of times, although people aren't sure if I mean "mommy" or not. I am still saying "mum mum mum" when I need Mommy, so she is pretty convinced that I am saying it for real, which is pretty cool!!! I can't wait until I can say all the things I want to say, Mommy and Daddy think I will probably be an early talker.
We had a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to visit Mommy's friend Mel, it was her little boy's 2nd birthday party, I had lots of fun and eventually passed out on Mommy's lap from all the excitement. Then on Sunday we all went to the Beaches and walked around and had lunch. I got a bunch of summer clothes since the weather is getting hotter, I want to be prepared! All in all it was a fun day out in the fresh air.
Anyway everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the Springtime! Can't wait to see you all!
So sorry this newsletter is behind, I have been bugging mommy to get it done but her and daddy have been busy getting our new house ready and stuff.
I really like my new place! There are so many more rooms to see and explore and we have much more space. I can't wait until I can crawl for real and I can check it out on my own (not a chance, says mommy, LOL). Speaking of crawling, I am getting closer everyday, I can sometimes get up on my hands and knees, but mostly if I try to crawl I just push myself backwards or around in circles, but a little guy's gotta start somewhere, right!?
Last week, Mommy and I went to meet this nice lady, who mommy says will be babysitting me when she goes back to work. We are both very sad that we can't just keep hanging out all the time forever and ever, but we will manage. The lady is very very nice, I liked her and the 2 other kids who were there, it's a lot like home, so I think it will work out fine.
I am still giving lots of kisses when you ask me, which is very cute (and slobbery!). Mommy made me a "book of babies", which is really just a little photo album with magazine cut outs of babies, but I love it I laugh and point and give the paper babies kisses, it is all too cute.
Yesterday my Uncle Rob, Aunt Kathy and cousins Asher and Abby came for a visit, it was lots of fun, I like it when people come to visit! They lent me a really cool video which I watched today and loved it, lots of music and things.
My newest thing is "dancing". When I hear a beat or some music, I rock back and forth and wiggle to the music, I just love music!! I also love to bite things with my new teeth. I bite down on the spoon when Mommy feeds me, sometimes I won't let go.
Anyway friends and family, I hope you are all doing as well as me! Can't wait to see you again!
Sorry this newsletter took me a while to get out, we have been SO SO busy!!!
We moved into our new house!! I like it a whole lot, there is so much to see, I like my cool new room, and I even have a playroom downstairs, but it is still full of boxes right now. It is a much better house I think, more space, 2 whole floors and it is much safer for me for when I start crawling around, which will be soon I think! Thanks to everyone who helped us move!!!
Things with me are great! I got two more teeth, so now I have 3 teeth!! They hurt coming in, but I am feeling better now. I now have one bottom tooth and two top teeth, good for chomping on things! Mommy says I eat like a horse now too, I sent a bunch of pictures of me eating, it's funny because I make such a HUGE mess! My favorite things to eat these days are baby cookies, yogurt, any kind of fruit and I love creamed corn baby food, yum yum. I have a high chair at this house which makes my meal times much easier for mommy during the day. I am a very busy baby these days, I don't like to sit still unless I am doing something very interesting, I just want to go go go. I can sit up perfectly now, and can get from laying down to sitting up in seconds. I can also stand up by myself, if I hold onto something like the back of the couch or my crib bars, but I can't get to standing by myself yet. I love standing on the couch and looking out the window. Mommy and Daddy think I will be crawling very soon, I am practicing getting up on my hands and knees and trying so hard to pull myself up, maybe I'll just skip crawling all together and just start running!!! (mommy winces) Other than that things are good, I am babbling a lot, I say lots of dada's and I laugh all the time at everything, Mommy and Daddy say I am the sunshine in their day, that must be good, right!? I also have learned about eyes, if you ask me, I can point to my Monkey's or Daddy's eyes when you say "where are so and so's eyes?", I also know how to "give snuggles" and have learned how to "give a kiss" when asked (if I feel like giving out kisses, mostly only to Mommy). Mommy and Daddy are amazed at how smart I am for only 8 months old!!!
Anyway everybody, I hope you have a really great Easter! Can't wait for you to come and visit me at my new house! Enjoy the pictures, Lots and lots of love, Baby Max
