eleven months.

Maximo,

Guess what? Today is your almost first birthday - just a month shy. This year has totally blown by I can't believe that this time last year I was massively pregnant and you weren't here yet! You took your first step this month, you were pretty pleased with your accomplisment, yet you've yet to walk anymore. Just so you know I am totally okay with that. I realize the territory that comes with walking, though your like speed racer with the crawling so I'm not sure it'd be much different. You have the strength but you're just a little apprehensive, be brave and confident cute stuff, you can do it!


You laugh is contagious and your smile is radiant. You have seven teeth and show them every hour of the day. Your trademark face is this scrunched up nose, evil grin thing. It's pretty damn adorable, even though you usually only flash it when being told 'no'. Am I in for it or what?


Your party is in two weeks and I can't wait to watch you dive in to some cake. There isn't a food you've met that you don't love. Among the recent favorites are waffles and bagels, but you haven't strayed in your fidelity to bananas, fruit loops or blueberries. You eat more than your three year old brother, which is probably why when your daddy accidentally put you in his jammies, no one knew it was wrong!


You admire your brother and your a keen observer of all things. You couldn't care a less about the TV even if it seems like it's constantly on, I'd bet you've seen less than thirty minutes of any said cartoon. You aren't a huge toy fan, but if it's Mason's YOU WANT IT. NEED IT. HAVE TO HAVE IT. Which you can imagine leads to a joyous morning or afternoon of battling. You hold your ground, especially with the size difference. You newest mastered skill is standing up without using the aid of any standing object. Pretty exciting.


You are a bundle of joy. A chunk. A total ham. We love you so much and can't wait for you to celebrate your first birthday in just 30 short days. Happy 11 months Maximo William.
