maxwell. you are one. it is hard to believe you were born one whole year ago.
it seems forever ago, yet it went by so fast.
you are curious about the world around you.
infatuated with your busy big sister.
and always willing to give hugs & kisses.
I adore everything about you and
it's perfectly fine with me if you never change.
but we all know that isn't going to happen. :(
you are the sweetest little soul.
i am honored i get to be your momma!
the skills & life experience of a one year old:
1. walking is the next big milestone for this guy.
30 steps is his record so far.
in the meantime, he manages to
crawl around like a spider monkey.
2. he loves food. all of it & any of it.
in fact, he doesn't mind dog food either.
3. he loves anything with wheels. he likes to hammer stuff. he climbs on everything.
i've considered that maybe i'm noticing these qualities cause i'm expecting them from a boy,
but even when i try to have a gender neutral mentality, max is constantly being a 'boy.'
3 1/2. he climbs up the slide and goes down the slide all by himself.
4. he's been making a grunting noise as a confirmation to
something he wants or as a way to say "yes"
[it's like i speak cave man or something]
5. reaching & pointing to the direction he would like to be carried is a new thing.
it's a pretty smart method he came up with, but if you don't comply with
his commands then watch out for his rage!
6. says 'quack quack' when he sees a duck.
however, he also makes this noise for any animal he sees.
sooo we have some work to do on animal noises.
he does make a 'rawr' noise for a dinosaur.
7. his first time saying "more" was asking for lime salt.
[blaming grandma for that one.]
8. he mimics some sounds & just recently started saying "no no" while pointing his finger.
[blaming uncle kurt for that one]
8. he has two bottom teeth. two top teeth. and tooth #5 just made its grand entrance.
9. he recently upgraded to a front facing car seat and he's loving the change of scenery.
i also enjoy the change of looking in my rear view mirror to find two baby faces.
10. he begins his night in his crib and finishes curled up in his momma's bed.
this might be frowned upon by some, but he's my baby. and he's one.
i simply disagree with anyone who believes snuggling a baby
too much will leave a negative impact.
i'm his source of comfort and at this point,
i'm not worried about him lacking independence for it.
life is too short. time is cruel. i will cuddle my son as long as i want, as long as he'll let me.
