warning-serious bragging ahead...

let me just start of by saying that max amazes us every day with something new.
i can't get over how smart this little guy is!

for example...

the letters at the top left of the puzzle are the only 5 that he didn't correctly identify tonight when we were playing with this puzzle. and with the "c" and the "d" he got too distracted with the pictures on them!

we have been singing songs and he picks up on the so quickly. he knows "itsy bitsy spider," "twinkle, twinkle, little star," "ring around the rosie," "baa baa black sheep," "mary had a little lamb," and "you are my sunshine." sometimes we will hear him singing them to himself while playing or riding in the car. he is just too precious!

he is getting better with his colors. for awhile, everything was "green." now he can usually identify green, red, blue, yellow, and purple and sometimes orange and brown.

he can count to 11 and sometimes makes it to 14. he loves to count things around the house or the stairs when going up for his bath.

he can finish the sentences to most of his books by adding in the last word or two. and the other night for the first time he did the same thing during our "angel of god" bedtime prayer. it made this momma tear up a bit.

mr. max, you are a smartie pants and we are so proud of you!
