Dapper!

I used to think that it was impossible to find cute boy clothes.  I know now that it's not impossible, you may just have to look a little harder.  I really enjoy dressing Max!  I think "dapper" best describes this look.

Rocking the suspenders

Someone so cute shouldn't be so sad!

I filled Easter eggs in preparation for our neighborhood Egg Hunt.  Max had to investigate.

I am in love with those lashes

And those chubby cheeks

We've been on the hunt for some furniture for our living room.  It's been torture.  We have been so many placed and not really found anything we've like.  PLUS shopping for furniture with a 1 1/2 year old who wants to touch everything is not very fun.

One store had these great carts that allowed us to trap Max.  He had fun "driving" around the store.

Actually eating a grilled cheese for the first time (we've tried before).  It is starting to be fun to take Max out to eat.  We are getting better at finding things he will eat (note the pickle on the table) and are getting better at keeping him entertained.  He does a nice job of ensuring everyone around us sees how cute he is.  :)  We aren't complete pros but it is better. 

Video - Max cracking up while being tickled by dad.

Don't laugh - I took a picture because I actually made dinner.  I just don't have a lot of drive to cook.  When I get home from work it's the last thing I want to do.  I just want to spend time with Max.  So most nights either Peter cooks or we figure out something for Max and eat leftovers/pizza/fast food.  So, good for me.  I made dinner!

Joe's mom, dad, sister, and nieces were in town for a week.  Max got to spend a lot of time with them while I was at work.  He called them Grandma and Grandpa and didn't take long to warm up to them.  He was really cute with Joe's Dad and the two played together.

Britt, her family, her in-laws, and Max went to a place similar to chuck-e-cheese.  She sent me this cute picture of Max.  I guess he's not too young to start taking these types of places!

Sweet sleeping baby.  I hate to wake him when he falls asleep in the car.

Details about Maxwell Charles on March 24th, 2013

• When he licks his fingers he likes to get the smacking sound
• He has starting giving me something that I call "Cheek Smooshes" where he smashes one of his cheeks against mine.  I looooooove it.  It's really sweet and affectionate.
• He is trying to jump but it's more like just raising up on his toes without leaving the ground.
• He points out letters and numbers on things.
• He knows his numbers 0 - 10
• When we read "Dr. Suess' ABC's" tonight he knew all of his letters except L, N, and U!!
• He is still a picky eater
• He is starting to get the scoop method down when using a spoon.
• He actually sang tonight.  I sang 3 notes to him and he sang it back to me multiple times and a few times was even on pitch.  It's so fun to see him pick things up!  I asked him to sing and he did.
• When we were brushing teeth tonight, there was a moment where he looked in my eyes, like REALLY looked in my eyes as if seeing into my soul.  I don't know how to explain it but it felt like he was looking into my soul.  It made me instantly tear up to feel that deep connection with him.  The bond that I have with this little person is such an amazing and special thing.  I feel very lucky to be able to experience it and experience a deeper love as well.  It motivates me to do more, give more, and be more for him.
