Never Expected This to Happen!

This is what a Zimmermann family wedding will do to you.

11 Months Old

Every month it seems like I'm getting further and further behind on the blog. Better late then never! Anyways, the day after Max turned eleven months we had an early birthday celebration with the Muresan family. Dave and Phyllis are in Florida so we wanted to have a celebration before they left. We did a Curious George theme and had decorations, party favors and a cake from a local bakery to go along with the theme. Well you know Max loves his food, so he had no problem figuring out how to eat his cake quickly then smearing the leftover icing all over.

At the beginning of the month Max was standing and starting to take a couple steps here and there, but over the past weekend he is walking much further distances sometimes six to eight feet. As everyone says I'm sure it won't be long before he's running all over the place! I think my mom was surprised but the amount of energy he had last night when we visited my Grandma McCoy.

I decided it was time to wean Max almost three weeks ago. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be or should I say he didn't seem to mind. So now that he's bottle fed he's finally sleeping through the night. Although he naps well during the day, his new thing is to fight going to bed at night. Whenever we lay him down he's been crying but a little classical music soothes him and puts him right to sleep.

A couple other things is that Max has seven teeth now, throws mini tantrums when told no and laughs at the television. The other night we watched Toy Story with him and he thought that was pretty funny. There's never a dull moment here! J

Max's Favorite Book

Max's favorite books are lift-the-flap books. Whenever I need to distract him I just open one of his Fisher-Price Little People books. Thanks to Aunt Beth and the kids for donating their old books! J
