Cup and straw

My little man has been drinking from an adult cup (with assistance) since he was 6 months old. Today, he has officially sipped out of a straw from an adult cup! No sippy cups for this boy- he is acting to grown for that ;(. 

Eggs

Today we tried egg yolk for the first time. Crossing my fingers for no allergies!!

Birthmark

One of the cutest things on max is his birthmark. I did not notice it until we got home from the hospital since he was always bundled up there with it being 30 degrees outside at the time. There is a small dot perfectly centered on his back. I am not sure how he will take to this when he's a teenager- but I love it!!!

Dada

Today my little man said, 'dada'. It was definitely unintentional because we were just floating around in the pool and he was moving his little mouth around, sometimes making jibberish and sometimes moving it without any noises......and it just came out. So sweet to hear a new word, ( because he did say mama first). This stage of his life is the sweetest. I get a hug after every nap, I am always wanted no matter what or when. I am thankful to know what a gift this is as I experience it. I have the best cuddler there is!

Social butterfly

Max had the opportunity to see a lot of people he has either never met or has not seen since a couple of months old. He has been surrounded by ladies all day, such a ladies man! He loves to stare and smile at every woman- I know I'll have my hands full in the future. After seeing a childhood friend (Rebecca), we headed with Lolli to another childhood friend's (Erin) baby shower. Then grandma came over for dinner, max got his first taste of zucchini, 

(recipe, which is actually good: http://livedan330.com/2014/07/19/zucchini-recipes/).

Ankle biters

Today me, max, and Lolli went to chick fil a for breakfast. We then headed to te library at the marietta square and attended an infant class on sign language. Max obviously didn't get much out of it - but it was fun! We then headed to the marietta square for a caprese panini and a dessert from the Australian bakery (so good). We then dropped Lolli off and headed to the pool. Such a packed day for such a small little man - he has passed out and called it a night

First words

My husband might be ready to oppose this, but I am definitely hearing 'mommmaaa' coming out of maxs mouth. Starting July 27th I've heard this at least twice a day randomly said....agh I love it! My sweet prince knows who to butter up!
