A Big Day!

Hello Friends!

Life changed on the 16th. Max, Joey and I will never be the same again. Exactly 9 months after Max was born, he started crawling on his hands and knees, pushing himself up into a sitting position, then pulling himself up into a standing position (all by himself), and his first tooth broke through. Since then, Max has been going non-stop, and I am exhausted by the end of the day. :-) I'm sure all mommies out there can relate.

Today, Max got his shots. Instead of being fussy, he was as pleasant as can be. He played for 3 hours and "went exploring." He really seems to be into figuring out how things work. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Children truly are a gift from God.

Happy 4th; Crawling; Headbands and Zwieback

Happy Independence Day!
Max's first bit of personal independence. He crawled to get the stale cheerios under his exersaucer. I'm going to have to clean a lot better now! :-)


Max with his dad's headband and a Zwieback for those teeth that still have NOT appeared. Oh, I so hope that they will come through one of these days. But in all honesty, he really hasn't been that fussy about his teeth. Sometimes I think he fusses just so I rub the Benadryl on his gums. He loves the stuff! Hmm.

"In the Pampers Box" & "In the Rain"

Max seemed to enjoy his little adventure in the Pampers Box.
Mom decided to be crazy and go dance in the rain.

Oh, I love you!
Will you be my friend?
Mmm, you taste good!

Happy Father's Day

Papa got a gift card to the driving range! I got to go with Papa one time so far. It was way cool. I didn't fuss at all! Love you, Papa!
