It's been 2 years...

... since we found out something was wrong with our little boy. I still can't believe it's been that long since our lives were turned upside down. I still remember everything about that day. Tim and I took this picture right before we left for our ultrasound. We had planned on registering right after we found out what we were having. Man were we shocked at the news that we got that day. The outcome didn't look good for our unborn son.



Two years later...



...our beautiful 20.5 month old is blowing all of us away with how absolutely fantastic he is doing. I can't believe how well he is doing to be honest with you. He is sucking through a straw now. He is sticking his tongue out and licking everything (I know that doesn't seem big to most of you, but he has never known that he has a tongue). He is trying to pull himself up onto his knees. He got fitted for his braces that we will hopefully receive late next week. He now officially army crawls and hops on his butt to get to where he wants to go. He points at everything. Signs "please" after everything!!! He shakes his finger at the dogs when they lick him and says "ah, ah, ah!" Which translates to "no, no, no!" He draws on everything even though the paper is right in front of him. He puts anything (phones, remote controls, cars, etc) up to his ear and says "ha" which means "hi." He licked a lollipop for the first time tonight and actually liked it. He dances to any type of music. He LOVES and I mean absolutely ADORES Mickey Mouse. If he sees him on TV, on a ball, on a balloon at the store, anywhere- he bounces up and down with a huge smile on his face waving and saying "ha... ha... ha!" It could possibly be the cutest thing ever. He puts his finger up to his nose when we say, "shhh." He knows where his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, belly and feet are. He hates wearing socks. He thinks it's funny when we tell him no with a stern look- he smiles and continues to do whatever it is that we told him to stop doing. I could go on and on and on about what Max has been up to in the past few weeks. I can't believe how much he has changed in just a month. I hope you enjoy him as much as we do...

Max was a little excited Christmas morning

Does anyone know what the phosphorus content is in a green crayon?

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!
