Its hard to believe that it's already 2017! We're approaching the one year anniversary of Max's adoption finalization. He has grown so much since then! Last year, he was still a such a chubby little guy who wasn't moving around very much. He's now a speed demon who is into everything! Max is such a joy to be around. He does have a little stubborn side that has started to show, but he's usually a very happy guy. He loves Baby Signing Time, cars, books, and being outside. He also loves having "car races" around the house with his sisters, who also like to take a spin on his ride-on toys. Some of his favorite words are tractor, cars, go-go, eat, more, thank you, shoes, mama, dada, mamaw, papaw, out, up, and uh-oh. He is very into music and loves to dance. We've even caught him trying to mimic words from songs lately. He is pretty good at humming and imitating "That's What Makes You Beautiful" 😅 He's such a character! He has had two haircuts so far. Both times made me want to cry! I love his curly long hair, but it was nice to see his ears and to make sure it wasn't in his eyes all the time!!
We are thankful for each day we have with Max! He is such a blessing to our family!
Here's a little recap of the last few months, including his 1st Birthday party!
