February Arrives

February is a great month because it means Spring is almost here in Texas.  The weather has been so mild this winter that very rarely has Max had to be completely bundled up against the cold.  It is still too cold to play outside so there is lots of playing going on inside.

He loves sucking on his fingers

 Max has been so interested in watching me eat.  I really want to wait until he hits 6 months old to feed him solids however the poor boy looks so longingly at the food I eat, it's very tempting to give in early.  So, one day I caved in a little and let him suck on a bell pepper stick for about 10 seconds.  He was so cute. 

 Now that Max can sit up, he is playing with his toys in a whole new way.  I absolutely love watching him grow.  It is so very special and awesome to me that I get to watch him learn new things every day.  It is so great how on some things one day he doesn't do it and then the very next day, he does!  The time is just flying by and he is growing up so fast.

This elephant is one of his favorite toys.

One adorable face - "what are you doing?"

Another adorable face - All smiles

Max is so much fun to play with.  He responds, interacts, and just melts my heart (and Peter's too).

Video- He loves playing pat-a-cake. 



Max happily playing with Peter

I can't deny this face a thing! I'm so in love with this little guy.



Sweet chubby baby toes

Have I mentioned how happy Max is?  He is rarely unhappy.  (Except the usual grumpiness when he's tired, hungry, or bored.)  He has come so far from that fussy infant.  Here are some of my favorite smiles.

Bringing out the dimple

Video - Max has started rolling over some times but not consistently.  I've been trying to capture it on video.  What you can count on though is if I get out my camera to take a video, it won't happen.  So watch Max deny me and decide to talk to me instead.
