Being Mischievous in Gma's Kitchen

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa Brock's house

Stretching out in my diapee

"Is my hair sticking up?"

"Really?? Sticking straight up?"

"It must be sticking up from all my high speed motion in my walker"
 

Max visits Great Grandma Hern

Max and Puppy visit Great Grandma Hern in her new apartment.


Max and Great Grandma share some Diet Coke :)


We didn't bring Max's walker along for the trip so he decided to try Grandma's walker instead.

He looks a little concerned that Great Grandma's walker does not include all the toys and lights that his does.

 

Baby Einstein and Baby Max

Max enjoys his "Baby's First Moves" video

He is studying the moves very carefully

At one point in the video, the babies learn to touch their nose. I cannot prove the accuracy of the next photo as it was taken by Grandma G while Mommy and Daddy were at the movies, but, it sure does look like Max is pointing to his nose, right? I think so.

 

Max models his hats for Grandma G

 

Max and the Girls Celebrate

Max got together with his best girlfriends Avery and Adyson to celebrate Christmas. I believe they would have all agreed that the real celebration was for the invention of tissue paper!


Avery vs. Adyson (Baby Stare Down)

Max looks like he's fleeing in fright but I think he was trying to get back to his red phone cord.

The trio poses for the Parental Papparazzi.

 

The Rosa Christmas Train rolls in to Murphysboro

"Did you say Christmas is almost over???"

Look at the child's eyes light up when surrounded by tissue paper!
 

Christmas Traditions

PAPER EATING CONTESTS

Playing "I'm taller than you" with the Stocking

Laughing at your stocking stuffers

Christmas Morning!!!

Santa visited Max!


Max decided to spread out and search for more presents.

"Santa's Little Helper" checks out his exersaucer.
 

Los TIME!!!

For those of you not from Murray and/or who don't know Max's Aunt Nikki....you may not know about the Los Portales. This (in the minds of many) is Murray's finest treasure. It is definitely Nikki's favorite place on Earth. Max has already enjoyed many trips to "Los" in his young life.
Here he is enjoying yet another Los experience and some good quality Key Family time.

Mayo Family Christmas

(like most seven month olds, I'm sure)...Max was most excited about the Christmas bows and paper this year. Don't get me wrong, he has definitely enjoyed the toys within, but first we must enjoy the wrapping!

All the "Kids" (and their babies)

Check me out...this was the pre-cursor to what has become my (on all fours rocking motion)...We think the crawling may be just around the corner.

 

Xmas at Nona and Paw's

Max really gets "in" to his stocking!

Cousin Jude delivery presents to Baby Max...or as Jude says... "Gacts" (or something like that)

Presents are piling up
