Weird Phobia

To start off, I would like to say Happy Belated 18th Birthday to my littlest sister! We love you Aunt Audrey! Last Sunday we had a lovely lunch and yummy birthday cupcakes (if I do say so myself!) out at mom and dad's to celebrate. Now for the sad part. Over the past 3 months we have had 4 birthday's in the family. As far as I know, no one under the age of 30 is against these celebrations of life and living another year, that was until we began including my darling son in the festivities. The dinner's go great but once we get to the main event it all goes to heck! He looses it! The second anyone starts to sing the Happy Birthday song he just melts and if you don't get him out of the room quickly he goes into hysterics, I mean the whole bit! One time would just be a mood thing and twice maybe just the time of day. But 4 times in a row?! We have yet to figure out what we will do in 4 months when it is his turn. lol!

Chomp Chomp!

Well, Max has changed yet again. For the past few months we have been able to enjoy sleeping around 7 hours a night. Max wouldn't sleep uninterrupted the entire time but it was always only a matter of 2-3 mins to get him back to sleep. The past 3 nights in a row he has decided to get up at 1 AM and stay up for at least an hour. He isn't being grumpy or upset-he is just awake. Unfortunately, he requires an audience so either Cody or myself has to be up with him. Not nice! Not to mention-does anyone have a child that sleeps still at night? Max kicks and wiggles an insane amount! (Probably my biggest reason for really wanting him outta MY bed!) My quality sleep is completely gone!

Oh-now that Max has discovered his little nippers he has taken up spontaneously biting anything/anyone close to him! This has resulted in more than one surprised victim-like Aunt Audrey in church, or mommy carrying the boy up the stairs, or daddy trying to sleep in the bed next to the little piranha! Something is going to have to change-the child is just getting more teeth and stronger jaws. Right now, if you get bit and say "ow" or some such exclamation, the little monster will look at you and laugh! Scary, I know! SEE!-Those little things hurt!
Beyond all of those complaints, life is great! I have the cutest baby boy in the world and an absolutely AWEsome husband. Max is trying to walk and crawl more and more each day. We are really looking forward to trying to keep up with him.

The picture above is mostly on here cuz he is such a stinkin cute naked boy-but also so you can get a real idea of just how massive his thighs are! And yes-we know he has no butt! It is a Lukas man thing!

And see-He is soo close to crawling. He gets in this position and will sit there rocking back and forth a few minutes before he just gives up and does a belly flop.

He sticks that little hiney as far up in the air as he can-my little yoga boy!

He loves Grandpa Mark's motorcycle, sooo many shiny metal pieces!
