Holiday update

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Well, it has been busy the last couple months. Maxton is growing into quite the little man. He is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up on everything and then walking around anything he can. He can stand on his own, but once he realizes what he is doing, he will fall to his bottom laughing. He has found the stairs and can climb like a champ. He made it to the top his first try. We had to quickly put up a gate. He likes music. He likes to make it and to dance to it. His dancing is quite cute, he "shakes his booty". He is eating anything and everything it seems. He tries something new everyday. Thanks to Grandpa Dave though, he knows how to stick out his tongue and blow spit. He particularly likes to do this when he is full or he doesn't like something. Thanks Dad:). He gives the best hugs and kisses, even though his kisses are pretty slobbery. There is nothing better than a big hug from Maxton after a long day. He definitely has a mind of his own and when he is determined he doesn't give up easily. Like I said before he is moving around everywhere, this being said he is into everything. We are trying to teach him boundaries. There are things he knows he shouldn't get into, but he will look to see if you are looking and if not he will move right to his target. We will let him know he is not to get into whatever he was after and move him. He will attempt this many times a day, clapping once he has done whatever it is he was trying. He definitely keeps us on our toes.

As far as Mike and myself we are doing fine. We did get food poisoning on Monday however. I was over it on Monday, but it has stayed with Mike all week. I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday, but I'm doing fine. Other than that not much is new with us.

Dad and Patti came down for Christmas, which was great. They got Maxton a walking/riding truck which he loves. I can see him walking on his own any day now, especially after seeing him walk with the truck.

I hope this New Year brings many happy memories to everyone. We are blessed to have you all in our lives.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Maxton is very mobile these days. One of his favorite places to hang out is by Bucky's cage. I don't know what it is about the cage, but it definitely interests him. I guess it makes noise if you pound on it , so that may have something to do with it.
Maxton has found the stairs...oh no! He climbed all the way to the top his first attempt.

His first Harley.

Look Ma I can walk!
