14 Months old

Today Max is 14 months old.  It is hard to believe that we met him almost 8 weeks ago! He is doing remarkably well.  He has settled into our little family as if he was meant to be here...that's because he is!

He does some of the cutest things.  Here are a few...I may be able to come up with 14!

*Max has the cheesiest little smile when he is happy, he squishes his little face up and shows all his teeth.
*He will never smile for the camera, I have so many pictures of the top of his head and the side of his face or a really close closeup.
* He says "UP" alot, he uses it for wanting to be picked up, put down in the chair out of the chair.  Pretty much whenever he wants to be somewhere else.
* Max has used mama and dada correctly a few times. 
* Max knows that he is Max, when we ask him where Max is he pats his belly.
* He loves to take a bath, he is happiest in the bath, he can splash and play for a long time.
* He is starting to climb on everything.  If I am on the couch he will want up, then he uses me to climb up over the back of the couch onto the counter behind it.
* Max loves to take a big drink out of his sippy cup and open his mouth and let it run down his neck, he thinks it is hilarious.
* When he does manage to actually drink something he will very quietly say, Ahhhhhhh as if he is shy or something.
* Max is a social butterfly.  It may take a few minutes...but he will approach almost anyone. He loves to have company.
* Max will flirt with all the girls. He flashes his cute smile to any girl at any time.  I bought him a shirt that says "lock up your daughters" we will be beating them off with a stick.
*As active as he is, he will snuggle in for a little while anyway. 
* Max will dance to any music, a commercial, a toy you name it.  He actually has a little rhythm too!
* Max is cute and he knows it, he will do something he is not supposed to and just give a cute little smile and a giggle, this must have worked for him in the past, it sometimes works now too.
