some things that i want to remember...

max is giving "real" hugs now. he comes up and puts his little arms around our necks. i.love.it!

he can say the entire "guardian angel" prayer on his own. it is the sweetest thing i have ever heard.

he will randomly start saying "hallelujah!"

max likes to pray before we eat. and after we pray he always asks throughout dinner, "pray again?"

he is still loving blues clues. he sings all the songs and uses some hand motions. my favorite is when he "wags his tail" during the mail time song!

he is really starting to pick up on and use some of our regular phrases. when something exciting happens he says "oh my goodness." when the dogs are barking, he'll walk into the hallway and yell "that's enough." sometimes when i ask him a question, like, "max, would you like some milk?" he'll answer, "ummm, probably not." too funny!

he can count to 20, but sometimes skips a few numbers. he knows the alphabet song and sometimes skips a few letters but can identify all of them.

if you tell him something like, "you're the man!" or "you're hilarious!" he will respond with "no, you're hilarious!" it cracks us up.
