13 Months part II

So much for trying to do their 13 month post together.  Can't leave out The Max Man!!

Can he get any cuter?!

Oh, how I love him!!  Max is the sweetest baby (yes, he is still a baby, not a toddler ;) ).  Sure he has his moments of fussiness, but when he is happy, he is so sweet, funny and cuddly!  He has the best smile and the cutest cheeks I've ever seen!  Recently we noticed his first little curl.  We've started calling him, "Max one curl" - That would be his Indian name!

He has been practicing his walking.  He has gotten good at his walker and making turns... and has taken one step on his own.  When we hold his hands and he walks, you can feel how heavy his legs are!  It's going to happen any day now.  I didn't realize how crazy things were going to be (with two walkers) until today.  I took them to the Children's Museum by myself.  When we were leaving, I let Max push the stroller and Claire walk on her own... she has gotten so fast and goes in the opposite direction we are walking.  Life just got a little crazier!

Max loves to dance.  In fact, he dances to noise in general!  If I start up the vacuum, he starts the head bob, same with the dish washer or washing machine - makes me smile every time :)  They like to chase each other, especially under the kitchen table.  The best giggles come from chasing or hiding from each other.  Bath time is another favorite!  They could play in the bath an hour if I let them.  He (they) are obsessed with dogs.  Their face lights up when the hear a bark or see a dog.  They each have a stuffed animal dog and they love on them all day!  Dog Dog was one of Max's first words.  He can say, dog dog, Mama, Dada, ball and he signs, "food/eat", "more", "please", "ball", and "bird"

Max is an excellent eater.  His recent favorite is tortellini.  We are working on the bottle transition still.  This morning they had their milk in a sippy cup.  Although he finished it, he fussed the whole time.  Claire would not drink hers.  What to do???? Tonight I gave them their milk in a bottle. I'm going to Target tomorrow to look for new cups.

 Max has NINE teeth!  The newest is a molar and I think there might be another one getting ready to break through.  He wears a size 4 diaper, and 12-18 month clothes (a few things are 18-24).

13 Months and a GIVEAWAY!

13 Months and 11 days....  better late than never!  I think I'm going to combine their monthly updates for the next year.

Claire... is my crazy girl! This girl has NO fear and is FULL of attitude!! And I love it! .... might not love the attitude in a few years ;)  Recently, she has gotten good at crossing her arms and making a face that screams, "just try me" or "who are you talking to?"  A little scary that she already does that.  She is also extremely sweet and loves her Mama.  As of this weekend she is a full time walker!  She has been taking steps here and there for about a month, but now, she loves to walk... and the attention that comes with it.  She walks around with a huge grin on her face and loves for you to cheer her on.  I still have a hard time believing it's her when she walks in the room! She also loves to talk.  I wish I knew what she was saying.  I bet it is so funny.  As of today, she can say: Mama, Daddy, Doggy, Ma (for Max), and shoes.  She signs "please" and "more".

"seriously, Mom"

She is a wonderful eater and will try anything.  I've recently added Boca  burgers to their menu and they love them.  I still give them two bottles a day.  I know, I know BUT she doesn't drink much out of her sippy cup and I want to make sure she is getting her milk.  I give them 8 oz, twice a day.  I think tomorrow I'm going to try a sippy in the morning.

She wears a size 4 diaper (really a size 3, but Max is a 4 and it's easier to keep them in the same size).  Most clothes are 12-18 months, although she can still wear some 9-12 months.  She has four teeth.  Loves baths, dogs, walking, music, dancing, grandparents, riding in the grocery cart standing up and swinging outside.  

*going to have to make a part two... too tired to stay awake any longer.  

*Stay tuned for my very first giveaway!! Super excited ;)

5 Things I'm loving

Today I'm linking up with Megan at Chesterrific with her "5 Things I'm Loving".
In no particular order....

1.  The weather forecast!  I am so ready for warm weather.  We love to spend time outside and nothing makes me happier than bright sun shiny days!

2.  Toms ballet flats
I have four pairs of the classic style and so excited about getting a pair of these! I hope they are just as comfortable!  I wish they had them in red!

3.  People Style Watch


I love reading and seeing about the new style trends.  I'm hoping for a shopping trip in my near future!

4.  Shutterfly
I upload the majority of our pictures to their website.  I love that they have deals all.the.time.  Yesterday I had a deal for 101 free prints! Even with shipping, it is cheaper to get through them. I also purchased a groupon deal for a photo book for $10!!

5.  Groupon/Living Social deals

groupon


Living social

This week alone, I have bought 600 thread count sheets for $34, coupon to a local Fro Yo place, ESPN magazine for Justin, and a deal for a shutterfly photo book!!  I don't usually buy that much in one week, but those are all things we will use!

What are you loving right now?
