I'm not sure of his height or weight but he is quickly outgrowing his 12 month clothes. He is in size 4 diapers and size 4 shoe. His hair is turning more blonde and less red. His eyes are still bright blue!
Milestones:
He is taking a few steps! He can only do a few in a row then he gets wobbly and tips over! He is so proud of himself!!! He has signed all done once and milk once! Trust me when I say we are super proud of him for this because his favorite form of communication is screaming! He is starting to wave hello. He can say dada when he sees Dan. He can climb up stairs. He now drinks out of a sippy cup!
Likes:
His most favorite thing (besides being held by his momma) is cars. He loves to drive cars all around the house. He will even make little sputtering noises while he does it! It is very amazing!!!
Sleeping:
He is doing really well in his crib! I think he enjoys being with his brothers. He goes to bed when they do between 7-8pm and wakes up between 6:30-7:30. Sometimes he will wake up in the middle of the night and I just go in and give him his binky and turn on his lullybyes and he goes right back to sleep. He is taking a good afternoon nap. If we are out and about he will fall asleep in the car in the morning but if we are home he can push through and just take one good afternoon nap!
Personality:
He still has a big and stubborn personality. He definitely knows what he wants and will NOT settle for anything less. He is getting so aware of his surroundings and wants to do what the big kids are doing. If he sees me in the kitchen he always crawls over there screaming until I give him some food. He doesn't understand that sometimes I am in the kitchen cleaning not making food but he is so sure he is going to miss out on something that he screams at my feet until he gets a snack. Lol!!! He is pretty happy overall and enjoys playing. When mom is around that is all he wants but when he is distracted or I'm not around he is so easy and chill. I guess when you are the youngest of four you have to be able to hold your own and he most certainly does that!!!
This is its own category because he seems to have an abnormal (for my kids) amount of teeth!!! He has four on the top, four on the bottom, two molars on top and the two bottom molars are currently just pushing through. What?!?! Some serious choppers going on!
Overall we are starting to get into a good routine with him. He was such a challenging baby for me at times because he was so demanding but he is slowly becoming more independent and capable which is making my life a little easier. Once he starts communicating I think we will turn a hug corner because let's face it no one likes to be screamed at all day!
Oh Max, we love you. We love your laugh and spunk. We love your dermination and curiosity. We love your sweetness and your love of cuddling and hugging. You are the baby boy and you know it!!!
Kyle and Max - 4th kids, 3rd boys, both mama's boys and demanding screamers. Too bad we don't live close enough to commiserate over coffee/drinks. Ha! Kyle just turned 18 months, still demanding, but this month was a definite improvement, thankfully.
