"I smarted you out!"

Max says a lot of really funny things and this is currently my favorite. It took me a few seconds the first time he said it to realize what he was trying to say, which is that he "outsmarted me."

He calls these (!) "excitement marks" instead of exclamation points.

A while back he would express his love in symbolic terms, such as, "I love you more that the ocean has water." That is cute enough in and of itself. The cutest part though, was that he would always follow it up by saying, "That's a lot, uh-huh."
