Hi everyone! Sorry again that this has taken a while! Things have definitely been busy around here. I'm sure most of you know, but Matt found out at the end of March that he got another promotion with Pfizer and this promotion will take us back to Michigan. Needless to say, it's been a busy month and a half with vacations to Florida and California, putting our house on the market, looking for homes in Michigan, etc. It's definitely bittersweet. We have really enjoyed living in Ohio and are so thankful for all the friendships we've created in the last year, but are excited to go back to Brighton, MI where we already have friends and know the area.
Now back to Max. In two short weeks Max will be turning one on May 16! I can hardly believe it! I keep wondering, "Where did my little baby go?" But I suppose I'll be asking this many times over in Max's life - what happened to that toddler, where's my little boy gone, etc. Max was a trooper traveling to Florida and California where we greatly enjoyed time with both sides of the family, not to mention the warmer weather! New things for Max are pointing, doing so big with his arms both in the air, getting his first ear infections (in both ears at once!), actually making noise while clapping, kissing (a lot!), waving more, cuddling again, getting his first haircut courtesy of Auntie Natalie, and the latest, walking! A couple weeks ago he would take one step in between us, but this past weekend it took off into really walking. Very exciting and he's really proud of himself! Enjoy the pictures (warning: there's a lot of them) and videos!
Max finally figured out how to throw his big ball.
Walking around with some help.
Max picked up this glass and made some noise into it. The echo kind of shocked him, but he started cracking up. Here he is doing more of it. The dogs are trying to figure out what's so funny.
First "real" walking this past Thursday (of course to get Dad's Blackberry, that's how we got him crawling too).
And here he is a little more proficient at it this past Friday.
