a morning of celebration!

WOW! What a morning of celebration! Max impressed me with several new accomplishments...and all by 9 am! Pretty darn cool.

First, I have been eagerly awaiting the day that he would come get me in the morning versus screaming. HE DID IT! We actually were able to sleep in until 7am (he was up several times in the night). So I'm just laying in the bed enjoying this extended sleep time and I hear a little noise in the hall. And what do I see? The cutest lil' man walking my way! We were both very exciting to see one another! :)
Second, Max and I have a lil' morning ritual. He watches a video while I let the dogs out, get the coffee started...and most importantly prepare his "peanut butter and banana bowl." For whatever reason, he likes me to feed each bite to him. So I have been encouraging him to bring the bowl to me (usually I am just a few feet away). However, this morning he surprised me with the bowl delivery as I brushed my teeth in my bathroom. I couldn't believe he brought it all the way to me. So cool!
Third, I gave Max some peanut butter and then asked him to return it to the other room. And he did!
What a wonderful morning! And seriously, could the kid be any more beautiful than he is today? LOVE this shirt on him. (Thanks "L" for the wonderful hand-me-downs...such a huge help!)

















And last but not least...my VERY favorite new photo. "Watch out world...here comes Mighty Max!"

He's really growing into quite the little gentleman, isn't he?
