Back to Max ~11.18.08

Two celebrations for Max ~ one on his big day, the other last week at Max & Erma's (they love that place- okay, so do I!)...

Happy Birthday to you!

MAKE A WISH, MAX!


Dominic finally enjoying cupcakes (remember?)


Zachary will NOT stop with the "CHEESE" face... mmmm, yummy frosting!



G with Mr. Cheese




Oh man, is he looking all grown up and FOUR!



Nonna with his boys (Nonna was trying to keep someone else happy... dominic)

Things you should know about Max...
  1. loves watching his big brother play video games on the computer
  2. loves going to Preschool
  3. loves watching "a show"- Star Wars, Diego, Sid the Science Kid, Super Why....
  4. loves chewing gum
  5. listens to Chris Tomlin, Polar Express Soundtrack, Kidz Bop, Matt Maher, U2, Laurie Berkner Band (rather eclectic tastes)
  6. will sometimes refuse to eat something because it is, say, "tuesday" or "wednesday", there is no rhyme or reason to this rationalization
  7. has to say the word "TURN" to get the bathroom door to open (at least that's the trick I taught him last week)
  8. still struggles opening doors, putting on/taking off shirts, etc
  9. easily frustrated
  10. he is totally our comedian
  11. loves treats of any kind and pizza
  12. does not like rice
  13. usually, will not eat cheese unless it is yellow (not orange like American- well, if it's melted that is okay). Prefers expensive cheese like Jarlsberg, except on Sundays (kidding about that last part)
  14. always remembers to pray
  15. still takes MONSTER naps with taggie, Arnold the pig and a very sad looking chenille blankie
  16. is a tough cookie with a soft interior
  17. goes with the flow
  18. always says "one sip, mama/dada" right after you hand him his drink and before he can drink it... everytime
  19. if you tell him he's cute, he'll say NO I'm NOT! (he used to tell us, NO, I'm Maximilian Kolbe)
  20. ends his nighttime routine with the same knock knock joke every night:

Knock Knock,

Who's there?

APPLE

Apple who?

Apple always says stinky ant.

get it? neither do we and that is A-Okay.

Oh that Max is absolutely delightful. I add "delightful" to the list of things about Max. Honestly, he is just so charming and sweet and FUNNY. Delightful kid. Delightful.

Every single one of those pictures is so cute! Really, it would be so much fun to scroll through the memory card on your camera or go through your photo albums. It would be one "awwwww...." followed by another.

Max...oh my word do I enjoy hearing about him. What an adorable, expensive cheese eating little comedian you have!
