this kid is so fun!

we've had a really interesting few weeks. max has been HILARIOUS!!! since he was 

about 16 months old, he's been able to pick out books by the title. it's

hilarious...now, he's been finishing every book. he has been doing that for awhile

with finishing sentences but now he's "reading" the books. he skips words, 

doesn't care about punctuation at all. he does an amazing job...

he gets his memory from his dad.

this is a baseball game between the boys.

this is max on the day he came back from bunna and poppy's house (my parents)

i gave them clothes for warm weather but it ended up at 55 degrees...

he's wearing bekah's sweatshirt...he went straight for his zebra

we have been looking for a good water table for a long time. we finally found

one at aldi's. tink told me about it and then bekah bought one....then i got

one....it's fabulous....he loves it.

this is his "happy earth day" shirt...

his latest stance... 

"why you do dat mama?"

when he was small i used to lay him down in the water

and hold his hands. he LOVED it. he would tilt his head to the side

and sip the water. we would crack up. we caught it on film a few times.

however, now he's gotten brave and now lays back by himself

and just lays in the tub. we, AGAIN, were cracking up, watching him

sip the tubby water.

note: we asked the doctor a looong time ago if this was likely to give him ear infections. he said that it was highly unlikely...so, full speed ahead...he needs to be a fish like his mama. we are going to swim from sun up to sun down SOON!

tonite was the hardest night i've EVER had putting him to sleep....he fought me for an HOUR! part of his issue could have been these boots. they seemed so hot! he refused to take them off. (i'll going to sneak them off when i go to bed)

i was always so enthralled by toddlers who marched to the beat of their own drummer and their moms who let them. is it all of them?? i hope this continues...
