Max's Six Month Stats

Weight: 19lbs 14oz. (88%)

Height: 28 1/4 inches (95%)

Head Circumference: 17 3/4 inches (80%)



Still no crawling, but pushing up and rocking. He loves to sit up and play with his toys. His bottom right tooth FINALLY popped through, he's been cutting for months!! Now I think he is working on the other bottom one...... He is sleeping good most nights even with his little hip brace, and loves to "talk" (da da da and ba ba ba) He is too lazy to hold his own bottle yet and prefers that Mommy do it, can't wait for that day!



James is a maniac, if only I had an ounce of that energy! His drawings are getting better and better. He loves drawing people and continues to add more details each day. We are still working on the potty training concept. I'm determined not to give up at this point, but we still have at least one accident a day. He has really gotten into his "friends" aka stuffed animals in his bed and we use them as motivation to keep him in bed at night. He is already talking about his birthday, we think we will have a party at Lewis Park. He is talking more and more everyday and is constantly cracking us up with the things he comes up with. He is still a very strong willed, independant boy!! We are continuing to work on using our nice words, some days are better than others, he is a much happier boy if we are outside burning energy. Thank goodness we live in Florida!!



We just celebrated Jims 35th birthday yesterday! We had a chance to go with our friends to the Taste of the NFL at Tropicana Field last Saturday night, it was really fun. Each NFL city had a table with a signature dish from a local restaurant and top chef, a matching wine and an NFL great from that city. We saw a few local celebs from the News channels and Meredith and Anne from the Today Show. The Max Weinberg band played, we had a blast, it was fun to get all dressed up and pretend to be VIPs!!

Max can sit up on his own for a few seconds, but eventually falls over,
he's soooo proud!
What a happy boy!



He has just discovered his tongue and is always sticking it out....

James' Artwork

James is quite the little artist, here are some examples of his latest...
He just started drawing people, he actually added hands the other day!

This is his fish (a flounder maybe?)

Christmas

He wasn't quite sure what to do with this big stocking!


James was REALLY excited about his bicycle that Santa brought.





James (aka Superman) got an easel from Santa too, and he LOVES
to draw on it, good job Santa!!
