Our baby boy turned a whole half of a year last week! This whole growing up thing is going WAY TOO FAST! I think this 6 month age might be as close to perfect as things get – Maxwell is SUCH a happy little guy. He laughs, he giggles, he smiles – he just lights up the room every single day. He babbles constantly and Robert and I crack up at the different sounds coming out of his mouth. Although we had a rough patch with the naps, I think we’ve turned that corner. The past week – even though we’ve been living through tons of construction at the house – he’s been napping great and barely crying in his bed at all. He may not sleep the whole time he’s in his bed, but he’s not crying so I’ll take it! He’s learning to entertain himself and I love it. He still takes a nap at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm and then some days he still gets in a 3rd short nap around 4:30. Sleeping at night continues to be fantastic – we put him to bed at 7:00 pm and don’t hear a peep out of him until we go get him around 6:30 am. In the morning he’s just lying awake in there playing with his stuffed monkey waiting on one of us to show up and when we do, he gives us the BIGGEST smile you’ve ever seen. Let me tell you – there is no better way to start your day! He’s still eating 4 times a day and we’re going to be starting rice cereal this week. Big stuff! Though a bit wobbly still, he’s doing great at sitting up. Our little guy is just a joy – he charms strangers and gets compliments every where we go. I can’t believe how much I love him. Can he PLEASE stay this age forever?!!
Monthly picture overload straight ahead….
At first Maxwell wasn’t exactly excited when he saw me coming with the camera…
But when I explained to him that his adoring fans NEEDED to see some cute 6 months shots, he happily shared some smiles…
The smiles didn’t last though and boredom quickly set in….
Bored…
Bored…
Bored.
I knew I had to do something quick if I didn’t want all my pictures to look like this…
So, I brought out my secret weapon to get the smiles…Little Al!
Happy once again, we finished out the photo shoot with smiles and laughs galore!
Happy half of a year sweet boy!
We love you!!

Happy Birthday Maxwell! And don’t fret Mom and Dad! Just when you think it can’t get any better it does. 🙂
This little boy is just too cute for words! Can’t believe six months has flown by so fast! Love that you have taken these monthly pictures with Little Al and in the same chair so we can really see how much he’s grown and changed.
This is dad on mom’s computer.
Happy 6 months big guy. Sorry no birthday at this milestone, but wait until 6 months from now and see what surprises your mom has for you. She loves you and birthdays and she know you only have your first birthday once. Look out!
Oh my! Maxwell is so very adorable! Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pics! And Happy Six Month Birthday Maxwell!
