Maxwell David- 7 months

Turner is really into full names right now. The other day we were at Ross and there was a young toddler there. You know how toddlers exclaim their joy when they see a baby.. well that is what this little boy was doing at the sight of Max. "Baby, baby, baby!!!" Turner looked at him with narrow eyes and a serious look on his face and retorted: "No! Maxwell David!" The little boy persisted and so did Turner, pretty soon I had to leave the isle and head for a place of peace away from the war of the toddlers. Well my little Maxwell David is now 7 months old! It has flown by fast and I can't believe that we are on the downhill of the first year. Max has become a very happy child. (I know you can't tell from the portrait- stinker!) He loves to laugh esp. at his big brother. He wants to be right in the middle of the action and hates to be alone. He is still nursing like a champ but doesn't really like baby food. He would rather eat table food- a slice of bread or a hand full of kix is heaven sent. If he is going to eat baby food it is going then he would prefer sweet potatoes over anything else. He will sometimes eat peaches and pears but has literally thrown up over squash and green beans. Max is sitting up like a champ and can roll to get anything that he wants. He is a light sleeper and would prefer to sleep with mom and dad but has been sleeping "through the night" for a couple of months (except for when we are visiting family because I think he knows that I am not going to let him cry and wake everyone else up. And then it takes a week to get him back into the habit and then Turner get sick and is waking him up in the night...) He LOVES toys and is easily occupied with them. We love our Max and can't believe that he has only been with us for 7 months! We love you Max!
