9 Months

Showing off his mad skills (he also takes after his dad with his crack showing)




Max had his 9 month appointment a few weeks ago, here are the stats:

Weight: 20lbs (50th%)
Height: 27in(50th%)
Head circumference: I don't remember, but he is 90th%

Once again it has proved to Ben that our boy is still a genius!!

Things that Max has been up to lately
-Max crawls ALL over the place, and would rather crawl than walk, sit, be held, or be put in a stroller, so outings are a blast!!
-He pulls up on anything and everything he can
-He can go up stairs, but has no idea how to get down
-He gets into everything, and whatever he finds goes into his mouth, his favorite chew toys include any type of cord, our new coffee table, and phones (but only if they are working phones)
-He has six teeth, and is not afraid to use them! One of my favorite things is to listen to him crunch his food with his front top and bottom teeth
-He is still an amazing eater, and will not turn down anything, his favorites include veggie straws, cheese puffs, m&ms (don't judge), and bananas
-He still loves to be sung to, his favorites include itsy bitsy spider, the wheels on the bus, and basically anything with hand movements
-He loves books, and having people read to him, and then turning pages by himself
-He sleeps through the night, and is taking two naps ,one two hour, and one 30 minute nap a day
-He has had 2 haircuts so far, and is due for his next one pretty soon


We love Max so much, it is amazing how something so small can change you life in such a short period of time, and I would have it no other way!!!

Yosemite

This lady made me laugh soo hard during the trip, at one point I was laughing so hard I wet myself a little, pregnancy has done a number on my bladder

These trees were huge, and the views were amazing, (please excuse my lesbian attire, I did not realize it would be so warm and had to wear Ben's shorts and use a rope as a belt)!!

We hiked a lot longer than expected, and Max got really tired and hungry, I tell you he was a trooper through it all

I tell you these pics do not do Yosemite justice, it was absolutley gorgeous

A while back we went camping with our good friends the Brownings to Yosemite. I was a little nervous taking Max camping, but my fears were put to rest because the boy did beautifully, his mother however could have used a nice soft bed, an indoor toilet, and NO bears (I was sooo freaked out)!! All in all it was a great trip and I am happy for the experience!
