Wow! We are just one week away from that 1st birthday celebration! I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. Max had a great week this week. We got to go to a Pumpkin Festival with his friend Ava last weekend. He had a great time in the Corn Dive. It was pretty dusty, but hey...they wash off, right? He got to eat cookies, look at a fire truck, go on a hay ride and sit in the pumpkin patch. We even made it home with a little pumpkin. It was a beautiful day. He had a really good week at school. He is starting to be so independent and wanting to walk up to the doors instead of having Mommy carry him. He knows right where his room is too. Once I open the door, he goes right in and finds a toy and just starts playing. I think the structure in this room is good for him. They get to go outside and play and have story time, even all go down for a nap at the same time. The teachers are great. I've noticed that his appetite has really increased the past couple of days. Guess he stays pretty busy throughout the day and with only one nap now, he tuckers out a bit quicker in the evenings. It's a little disappointing to feel that our time with him in the evening is so limited, but I'm sure he'll start staying up a little later as he gets older.
Grandma and Papa got to Iowa today and they will be staying with us for a week. It took him a little while to warm up to them, but I'm sure he'll catch on really quick that if Mommy and Daddy say no, he can just go to those crazy grandparents.
I'm trying to think of some cute Max stories were from this week, but I'm drawing a blank. One thing that Eric and I have noticed is when he eats, he'll take a bite and then say 'OM NOM NOM'...this is from Eric and I doing this when we feed him, but it is the funniest thing to watch. He is a cutie and can't believe that he is getting so big. Here are some pictures!
