Christmas Ketchup

Yesterday we had a low key Christmas. Cin buns in the morning, sandwiches for lunch, and then chicken kiev for dinner. I made some fries to go with Mark's dinner. And Max, of course, was a fan. Mark had ketchup on his plate. Max tried it. It was good. So for the very first time he got to have ketchup on his own plate. And he was very serious about his dipping and eating. :)

School Days Max

Joanna sent me these pictures a couple of weeks ago but I was a slacker and didn't get them posted. These are photos of Max playing around while helping Joanna pick up her girls from school. Max wanted to wear the backpack and carry the lunchbox, just like the girls.

Max Knows Grandpa

My folks were here over the weekend for Christmas. We had a great time. Max took a little while to warm up to everyone but was soon trying to lay on the floor like Uncle Michael so that they could play with the wooden sorting toy together. He loved his shopping cart from Granny and Grandpa, although he was more interested in putting the other toys in it and running away, instead of putting in his toy groceries. He also had a great time with Auntie Sheena hiding a toy car in the curtains. A good time was had by all.

But at one point Grandpa put his coffee in the microwave to heat it up. After making the oooeeeooo noise for the microwave, Max was concerned that the microwave had dinged but no one was opening it. I told him that it was Grandpa's coffee. So he went into the front room where everyone was gathered, grabbed Grandpa's hand, and dragged him into the kitchen. He then pointed at the microwave. Dad got out the coffee and then and only then could Max relax! What a helpful baby. :)

Pirate Monkey Max

I got this little outfit after Wes was at the mall and saw a different cute outfit. Max was no into me taking his picture this morning. At least not a picture that showed the matching monkeys on his shirt and jeans. He was pretty excited about the little matching shoes.

Max at My Gym

NannyJo sent some photos of Max at MyGym today. He seems to have had a wonderful time on the swings. Not a surprize since he is a huge fan of the swings!

Sleeping Max

Here is the photo Joanna sent me today of Max taking his nap. I am so jealous. I wish I was taking a nap...
