Hast ein Problem?!

You wanna piece of this?
La vita e` bella!
Give me some sugar!

Contemplation

Sometimes I wonder what is going through his sweet little head, especially when he is making new discoveries. What must it feel like to see the world from an entirely new position, to feel the warm evening breeze suddenly blow against your face, to feel the thrill and excitement of the sudden appearance of one of the dogs?

In the Pool

After seeing Lauren and Keith's daughter, Lily, in the pool, I just had to give Max the same experience. Joe got in with him at first because Max can get a little wobbly still when he is sitting. Max loved every bit of his first swimming experience, and I am sure there are many more to come.

Getting so Big!

Mother's Day Outing

Watch Out Mom

Today Max had a first that took me by surprise. I was babysitting for some friends from church. They have a 2 year old and a newborn. The baby slept most of the time I was there, but he did wake up for the last hour of my time with them. Well Max could not handle the sight of Mama holding another baby. He freaked out! I think that he was scared at first because the baby was crying and Max doesn't seem to like loud noises. (Lately, he's been snuggling up real close to me if he hears a loud noise.) But then, when I couldn't pick him up because of holding the other baby, he had a meltdown. Needless to say, the little sucker is still in his car seat and fast asleep because of exhausting himself. We'll just make sure we get some good snuggle time in before bed tonight. :-)

First Professional Photo Shoot

Yesterday, Max had his first photo shoot. We were a little worried because our appointment was at 5:00 and he usually starts getting tired around then. We actually didn't even start taking the pictures until 5:30 but as you can see he still had plenty of smiles left in him. For all of you who are going to be printing these pictures off the blog (like Omi), we have ordered a lot, so you will be getting some of them!!! :-)

Carrots

You want me to eat what?
These are pretty good!

Ok, I lied! They are REALLY good!
And now it's time for my bath.

Lot's of fun!

My favorite toy! :-)
I love swinging!
...and chewing on the strap.
Dad's keys are so cool!

Hair Style and Celery

This is us and Kristen at our church's swing dance. Max loves Kristen!
Max wanted something to chew on so I gave him a cold celery stick. It was a hit after the initial look of disgust.

I don't know what this face was about, but I had to share it with you.
Do you like the way cool hair style my dad gave me? All the chicks at church dig it!
