sweet wells

this picture is a year old. this time last year....he was a different kid. he was still the babe he is today but he has definitely developed an edge since last summer. he's sassy...but i love him...

when he was 18 months old he spoke his first word..."wall"...in six months he learned an unbelievable amount of information...he knew colors, letters, shapes, numbers, family relationships, animals, dinosaurs, trucks, etc...he loves things...he loves his sister. he loves us. when he prays i get tears in my eyes. he thanks God for us and for his friends. he is so kind...

he also is rough and looooves to wrestle. he hurts me at least 3 times daily. he really loves to be outside and play hard. he loves go fish and uno. he loves snacks. he loves peanut butter. A LOT....he moves talia's chin to talk for her. his favorite "field trip" is to the dinosaur museum. he looooves WALL-E. he thinks that the story of adam and eve is hilarious because her name is Eve...just like WALL-E.  his favorite Bible story is Jonah. he knows it front to back. he loves the library. he loves self checkout in the library. he is only snuggly in the morning and at night...during the day he almost has to be hurt to let me hold him. he loves the steelers. he can name all the lead players by number and name. he calls his pediatrician "dr roethlisberger" even though his name is Dr Romberger. he changes his clothes about 3-4 times a day. he changes when he wants to become someone else...a jersey when he wants to become a steeler, an astronaut shirt, a teenage mutant ninja turtle, etc...tons of "dirty" clothes. currently he is obsessed with planets and fruit snacks. he loves saturn and talks about the solar system...he is incredible...

he says the funniest things i've ever heard....like this....

chris: max do you remember the day when you were born? 
max: yes 
chris: what was it like?
max: i was like, "where's outside?"

max: hey mum, the flyers suck
chris: yeah, they do but we don't say that word
max: oh, ok sorry

i hate it...i can't remember anything else...ugh...hopefully more will come back later. 

long story short I LOVE MY BOY!!!
