I can foresee that Max is going to be my big helper once BB arrives. Nearly every night for the last two weeks I've been baking in the last week or so he's shown interest in helping Mommy out. He pulls over his green Stokke chair and climbs up it like a ladder and asks what he can do "aide Mommy". His official job is to raise and lower the bowl to my mixer and he holds to it for dear life as it mixes and he alerts me when he thinks its done. I keep having these moments where I catch myself staring at Max and can't believe my eyes at how big he seems. His legs are so long. His face is looking less like a baby. How big his hands are. He articulates himself so well using new words everyday. It's impossible to grasp at all these moments but I'm trying my to do my best to get some of the good ones in photos in words.
Hold on to those moments fiercely for as long as you can. I remember when my youngest was Max's age. I was his world. Now, at almost 13, not so much. Still my baby, but now his world has gotten a lot bigger. And other girls are starting to garner his attention. Darn it all, that growing up. ;^)

That is so very sweet of him, sweet little boys grow up to be sweet little gentlemen.

I never know quite what to say, wish I had a way of conveying how beautiful I find your reflections on your son (and your life in general). You really seem to appreciate the beauty that you have in your life, and it's just so cool to see the amazing photos and details that you capture. This will all be such a treasure for him (and whoever loves him) someday when he is grown.
