11 Things//February Edition

I'm nearly a week late with this list...but
I'm happy to have these little snippets
of Max and his personality recorded.
The pictures don't necessarily have
anything to do with the words...but
are pretty cute :)

1.)  His favorite number is 100.

2.)  Whenever he gets out of the bath and

we are drying him off – he holds up his

arms and says “don’t forget the (arm) pits!”

When you put the towel under to dry

them – he folds his arms back down

and giggles hysterically.

3.) He went to a birthday party for his

friend Addy last weekend.  The party

invitation said “for kids only – no adults

please”.  So, we were wondering how it

might go.  Rob dropped him off – and said

he was extremely shy for about 10 minutes

and then ran down to the basement to join the fun.

When I picked him up two hours later – he

proclaimed “mommy, I had so much fun!”

4.)  He signed all eight of his Valentine’s

all by himself.  It was the cutest thing!

5.)  He loves, loves, loves the car wash.

6.)  He really likes to help me do

what I call “chores”. He carries his towels

and laundry down to the basement and helps me

put them in. He pushes the mop around in the kitchen.

And LOVES to dust.  We have a Swiffer duster

that he is getting pretty good at operating. 

He also loves to run up new boxes of

tissues, paper towels, or toilet paper as needed.

7.)  While my sister and mom were babysitting

Max – they discovered he loves Pepperidge

Farm Mint Milano cookies. I’m not above

using them as a bribe for finishing his dinner.

8.)  We discovered the “Magic School Bus” theme

song on YouTube  and I swear he would watch it

thirty times in a row. We also had to google the

words because I kind of love to sing it too.

 9.)  After letting out a little toot, I said, "Max, 

you're a tooting machine"! And, he said, "no, 

Daddy is a tooting machine"! (He's not wrong). 

10.)  He informs us lately that he likes "Batman, 

Spiderman, and Superman". 

11.) He's taken to telling us, "Mommy, I love you". 

Or, "Daddy, I love you". All.the.time. It's really sweet. 

Bonus: At night, we will put him to bed - wait about

10 or 15 minutes (until we think he's asleep) and turn

on the TV.  However, recently, immediately after he 

hears the trill of the TV coming on - he will yell for

one of us. Upon entering his room, he will say "I heard

the TV turn on". Like, does he think we only watch it

with him? We aren't allowed to turn it on without him?

Either way - it makes us laugh.

He's the best.
