7 months (& 2 weeks)!

Sorry this is coming out to everyone so late! We've been busy with spring and teething and sitting and and and and...

So here it is 7.5 months! I have lots of updates and lots of pictures. 

First off, Max is finally sitting up all by himself and very very well! He did it in like two days too, it was crazy. I'm loving it because it makes things so much easier. I can plop him down in the living room and he can just sit & play.

On top of that, he has teeth! His two little bottom font teeth popped at the same time (poor kid) last week, so he's been plenty cranky and fussy (still smiling & happy mostly). They're growing fast too, already about a millimeter or two out! CHOMP!

Thirdly, he's waving. :) It's a whole arm wave & very hesitantly, but day by day he's getting better at doing it and knowing when to wave. We're all waving like crazy over here...

And lastly, I think he said "Mommy" finally. He's sort of said it sometimes when he's crying but I think he said it for real the other day (unless my mind is tricking me). I've been hesitant to count it though because i'm not 1000000% sure. :-\

Those are really all of the Max updates, besides maybe that we went on our first hike a few weeks ago and that we saw the cherry blossoms. Other then that, he's still a happy kid, sleeping through the night (except maybe for a few wake ups for the pacifier), eating TONS of solids, meat & now yogurt included and is giving lots of slobbery open mouth baby kisses everywhere!

In other Mullineaux news however, Cameron has to go to Tennessee for a few days for work next week, which will be a nice break for him and I've enrolled at UMUC for Environmental Management starting in 2 weeks! Life is good here, a little hectic but a good adventure. Enjoy the pictures!

7 months & sitting up!

Max's first hike with Josh & Megan - he LOVED it!

CHERRY BLOSSOMS!
I haven't been to see them in decades & it was really worth it (not sure if mom agreed...)!
(The weekday with less people still = tons of tourists!)

And some mommy love - I'm about to get a baby kiss here...

And finally, lets play a little game: Who does Max look more like?
