Max, you are at such a fun stage! It seems like this month you really started having fun with us. We still don't get cackles or belly laughs from you yet, but you think we're all pretty hilarrious...or weird. You love playing in your exersaucer, sitting by your sisters playing or someone holding you.
You LOVE your bath! You are a splasher and kicker. It's so fun to watch you get excited when we turn on the water. You look like a different kid when your hair is wet! And the tongue has come out this month. And, oh my word. You look exactly like your biggest sister in this picture! There are moments when I feel like I'm looking right at baby Mallory. So weird!
Max, you are one happy kid. I love your personality. I have a feeling you'll be a mix of Mallory and Morgan. You've definitely got that serious stare and concentration Mallory had. But, you are very cuddly and like to smile/laugh like Morgan. You continue to go with the flow and have a good time wherever that might put you.
You added two bottom teeth this month! Woo hoo! We started getting in a routine for baby food at dinnertime. You were content with that (you still make a face with the first bite, but usually have no problem cleaning your plate) until I gave you a cracker at lunch one day. Since then, you feel like anytime we're eating, we're supposed to share with little ole' you...and you'll usually scream until we do! I'm still nursing you 5 times a day. I'm making plans on that changing soon since you finally took a bottle. It's more my fault, but as soon as I changed the type of bottle we were trying, you took it! Even with formula in it! I was beginning to think I could never leave you!
Sleep is so overrated, and still hit or miss with you. We're hoping to go a longer stretch of being healthy and maybe that will help. Crossing our fingers...
You don't seem close to being mobile anytime soon. That is fine with me and our Christmas tree! We'll put you on your tummy and you'll push yourself up off the floor, but not quite on all fours yet. I've noticed you sliding yourself back when you do that, but nothing much more.

*Traveling to Burk for Thanksgiving. You got to see lots and lots of family. You were a trooper and went with the flow!
*Going to the Nutcracker! This was supposed to be an all girls event, but you tagged along. We hardly noticed you were there (sorry!) since you took a nap in Aunt Jenn's arms.
*Ear infection #4. That's right buddy. Two more and we get to talk about tubes.
We love you Mr. Maxers! It is so fun watching you learn and grow!
