Max turned a year old and the changes just keep coming. We had his one year check up last week and he handled it like a champ. I don't think he stopped moving the entire time we were in the office...kept the doc on his toes! I'm not sure what it is, but Max has been sleeping really well lately. It could be the humidifier going...could be the fact that we aren't giving him a bottle right before he goes to sleep...could be him going to bed on his own and not being rocked. Who knows...I'm not going to complain or question it...I enjoy sleeping through the night! Now, when I say that he is going to bed on his own, don't be fooled. We can put him in his crib and he'll be fine, as long as someone is in the room. Last night, he had been in his crib and hadn't looked at me for about 5 minutes. I tried to sneak out of the room, but he saw the door open and it was big ole crocodile tears. So, I went over and kissed him, laid him down and after a few strokes of his hair, he was off to dream land. We have made the decision that once he goes into the crib, he will not be taken out until the morning. Unless, of course, he cries himself into such a tizzy that he spits up...which has done a few times. This usually just means fresh jammies and a new blanket. But, I think he is learning the routine and getting better with it.
We also turned his car seat around the past weekend. He doesn't seem to be to interested. I think he prefers to face the other way (I know I prefer it...much easier to get him in and out) because he was reclining when he was rear facing...now, facing front, he is more upright.
In other news, we are up to 9 teeth. Since his original 6 (4 on top, 2 on bottom) he has cut 2 molars on top and now one on the bottom, and there seems to be another one on the other side just about to come through. Before we know it, he is going to have a mouth full of teeth!
I just wanted to update everyone...here are some pictures of him from the last couple of days!

| He has so much fun sitting in the chair and swinging his feet |

| After dragging and banging all of the pots and pans, he decided to crawl in the cabinet. |
