Foods

Max and I are working on a compromise. I will make more dinners he likes and he will try more of the dinners I make. 

This was meatloaf. In a hot dog bun. We were both happy. 

Let's Go, Hokies!

Perhaps the Hokies were also distracted by Angry Birds? Max was doing his part wearing his special Hokie Pirate sweater to cheer them on. He's such a sweet boy. As we went upstairs to bed he thanked me for making his special sweater for him.

Taking a Break

Max totally LOVES to play Angry Birds on our Kindle Fire. I think it is my Kindle. He thinks it is his. We seems to be doing ok with sharing. He cracked me up yesterday when he took the Kindle and sat in his little chair with his feet up on the lion walker toy thing. He was taking a little break!

Max loves dessert

After eating his dinner last night, Max got a donut hole, a ramekin of whipped cream, and his beloved cupcake from Wes and Laurie's party. All three were round. And he lined them up before starting to eat.

World of Wonder Toys

Max is playing with Max the Motorcycle and the policeman and police dog from the police car set. Happy Max. He said I was the Mommy with the baby in the sling. :)

Max and "his Baby"

Saturday evening Max said he wanted to go with Daddy when Daddy went to Home Depot. I stayed home with Meggie and Grandma. They were gone for about 2 hours. We heard the car door and Meggie was off the couch and running to the front door yelling "Max! Max!" When Max came in, he ran to the top of the stairs and yelled "Baby, I need to hug you!" and then they gave each other the biggest hug ever. It was so amazingly sweet! I still get a little teary-eyed just thinking about it. I'm so glad they love each other.

Don't worry, but Sunday morning they were back to fighting over scarce resources (who was going to have the best view of Elmo on the portable DVD player).

Max may not like Movement at school

But take him to a wedding reception and there is no stopping him!

This was September 26, 2009, Michael and Sheena's wedding. Reposted to share with Max's school. :)

Blocks!

NannyJo took this picture of Max with the "house" he built, and then knocked down. As you can see, he has had QUITE the haircut since school started. :)

Max's First Day as a WWP 3-day 3!

Tie Dye Shirt. Cars backpack. Teal chucks. Fruit snack. And Harry Potter glasses. He was ready!

Skinny Jeans Max

Here's Max in his special outfit today. He's got on skinny jeans with quite a slim fit. And 2 (count them! 2!) shirts. He was very excited about everything he got to wear today. The jeans. The shirt. The jacket. And then a rain coat too.

Playdoh!

Max and Meggie with playdoh. Max can't look up. That playdoh isn't going to form itself into ice cream on its own!

Business Meeting Max

Here's a photo of Max, wearing a short sleeved dress shirt and khaki shorts (summer business casual for babies), holding his baby Starbucks mug (full of water!), looking like he is wondering if he is late for a meeting. :)

Max Loves Trains

Even after a week at Granny and Papa's, Max didn't get enough time with trains. He has been playing with trains every day. Sadly he was too busy designing the track to pose for a picture for me. But he has made a large number of tracks using all the pieces, and making each track into a complete circuit. And then he happily drives the trains around and around and around. I'm glad he's having to much fun!

Pirate Max

Max is very excited about his new pajamas. And is very excited that his Alpha Oops book also has a pirate ship that looks like the one on his pajamas.

Fun on the slide!

Mr Cool

Max wanted to wear sunglasses today instead of his regular glasses. And yes, that is a tiny little Winnie the Pooh in the corner!

Happy Max!

But Margaret is not so happy! She did not want to be in the stroller. She's a big girl now!

Too Bad Max is So Sad...

This is Max and Margaret, watching Elmo's World for the first time. Too bad Max clearly hates it, eh? Margaret was also totally excited about her new Hello Kitty shirt! I cannot explain why Max is wearing both an apron and a bib to watch tv. The way his mind works is often a mystery to me...

Max on the Big Boy Swing!

No baby swing for Max now! He's a big boy!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Max is being a little silly, but he's making a birthday card for Mommy. He told me all about it last night. It's going to have a heart and say Max which is spelled Up Down Up Down Circle Cross Cross. Super thanks to Joanna for the photos and for making card-making-time happen!
