Max is SEVEN months old!

January, 2011

Max is seven months old and is 17.11 lbs.  He is getting so so so big and with every passing day he is just becoming this little man.

Max's stats:

• Max cut his second tooth (both are on the bottom)
• He is getting up on all fours....but not crawling.  Just sort of rocking back and forth.

• Max got stuck in the house for a whole week!  We had a really bad snow and ice storm and we were all stuck at home....no work for dad and no school for Max. 
• Max fed himself his first cheerio.  He is very excited about this!  He makes a 1 in 10 in his mouth, and the rest go to Bear ;-)

• Max ate his first REAL green bean....not mashed into baby food.  He wasn't too sure about it, and didn't like it all that well.
• Started holding his own bottle on January 24th.  This was life-changing....we don't have to really hold him to feed him.
• Max is babbling, babbling, babbling....da da da da da da! 
• Started using a sippy cup....
• Max got his first gift from a girl.  Miss Brittany (at his school) brought Max back a plate and a Mickey Mouse onsie from her trip to Florida. He is such a flirt at school :-)

There were so many developmental milestones this month.  Part of me was so proud and excited for him...but the other half of me was so sad.  He could now start feeding himself somewhat with food, and definitely holding his own bottle.  I had these fleeting moments where I felt as if he needs me less and less these days....then, he would wake up at 4 a.m. and I quickly realize "he stillllllll needs me". LOL.
