8 months!

This past month has been a pretty big deal for the Mabry household...Max has been sleeping consistently without a peep from 7-7 or so (for now)! We've had a lot of fun lately taking him to do things we think he'll enjoy, instead of doing things we hope he sleeps through. Some of his favorite things right now are: his car, going for walks, being outside, giving open mouth kisses, anything with lights (sounds machine, oven, clock, etc.), rolling everywhere, sliding backwards, eating 3 meals a day including meat, any type of ball., making motorboat noises, switching toys from one hand to the other (he does this with his sunglasses the whole time we walk), Jeopardy (my mom says he will watch and smile, and will go back to playing when the show goes to commercial). He just learned how to pick up his sippy cup and take a drink. He thinks Hank is hilarious, especially when he's panting. He still gets so excited anytime I turn on the TV and he sees the blue screen while his Signing Time DVD loads. It's the little things in life, people. Here's a "few" more pictures from this past month.

Weee.

New trick

                                    

First school program. He almost lost it when they put him in the Bumbo.

The first time he actually sat in a highchair through dinner. You can see going to dinner has changed a bit.

Coming inside from a walk. Makes me laugh.

Bath time is still a favorite.

He cracks up every time this washcloth comes out.

                                    

 This is what you do when you have to rush inside to go to the bathroom with a teething baby.

He loved the fountains at Guthrie Green.

Helping me pick out what to order.

Love Bug.

First trip to the zoo!

                                                  

Wish we could put the bumper back on! 

This kid loves his food.

I don't think we could miss if we tried.

He almost had a black eye from his crib.

 =)

He loves his Pop Up Books. They probably won't last much longer.

M's class on Tues/Thurs.

                                                   

He prefers to hold 2 balls at a time.

And sometimes tries to go for a third.

He loves Hank.

Hank loves... if he has any leftovers on his face.

                                     

Ordering something real nice for himself at Babies R Us (a.k.a worst place on earth).

He prefers to sit up rather than lay on his Boppy.

Waiting for Spaghetti Eddie to go on.

                                      

Our friend, Jack (Dawson's dad) , was in this costume. It was AMAZING.

"Where's my dinner?!"

Sweet friends at Dilly Deli.

Eva's on the move!

Max and Dawson.

Who's there?

                                      

Watching Dad mow.

Straight off the course.

                                                   

Guthrie Green with friends.

"I'll take that off your hands." Thomas is exactly 1 week older than Max. Max is ginormous.

Jack, Dawson, Thomas, and M. His buddies all within 2.5 weeks of age.

These hats kill me.
