Max you are growing up so fast it literally makes my heart hurt. You would take the gold in the Baby Olympics. You are perfect. You have eaten whatever new food we've tried with no complaint, taking the bottle with no complaint, sleeping and teething with no complaint. My only complaint is that my days of having you as a baby are numbered. Your dad sees it different and sees each milestone as exciting and is looking forward to the future with you. I am trying to share in that happiness but really it just makes me sad. I think because I have truly enjoyed every second of taking care of "baby Max." I made a movie montage for my grandpa's funeral a week ago and used the song "Remember When" by Alan Jackson. There is a verse that made me think of you that goes, "Remember when. We said when we turned gray. When the children grow up and move away. We won't be sad. We'll be glad. For all the life we've had. And we'll remember when." That plays in my head every time you do something new. You have given us so much joy and asked for very little in return. If you could talk I think you would say, I'm just happy to be here.
And I'm happy for your new milestone, sitting up!
Ok I'm sad. But a happy sad. I'm working towards just happy.

That was a beautiful post Jess! You have wonderful children especially little Max.
I hope I will be so lucky to have such a wonderful family that you have!
totally sweet.
And I've been experiencing the same feelings lately as I looked through some of Gabrielle's clothes that are already too small!
Love you!
So at 7 months, Max complains less then the Complainasaurus Genorex..... Have you ever tried to get Geno to eat veggies?
Very sweet:) Max is a wonderful baby!
I hear you Jess. Let's hope when Lucy and Max go to prom together we'll get in one good cry together and they'll roll their eye's at us.
sweet words
