Howdy, Y'all!

You can be a true Kentuckian if you don't attend a Southern-themed event every once in a while.

First Day in the World

First Birthday

May 5th, 2007

It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that this precious little bundle came into our lives. We have enjoyed every minute, Max. We couldn't ask for more. You amaze us everyday and we can't wait to share all the moments to come with you! We love you, Bubby! Happy Birthday!

Mobile Max

After about two weeks of "one step at a time"....Max is now officially walking. Seems like it happened overnight. He is waddling all around the house now. When he really wants to get somewhere fast...he plops down because crawling is still the fastest mode of Max transport. He looks like such a big boy walking around playing with Gracee.

My Future's so Bright....

I GOTTA WEAR SHADES!!!

....and then I "gotta" rip them off my face before Mommy can snap another picture.

Big Boy Bath

Mr. Max has been squeezing into his baby "tubby" for 11 months (Mommy's fault) but has now graduated to the big boy bath tub. He loves it! More room for toys and splashing.

Moving Right Along

Max and Daddy's new favorite activity is bike rides. Daddy does the peddling and Max does the sitting. He loves this cart. He even fell alseep in it this week and took a 30 minute nap while the bike ride continued. Babies can sleep anywhere. Thanks so much to the Holts (Grandma and Grandpa Brock's neighbors) for sharing this awesome ride!

Just in case the scenery is not enough...we take toys to entertain. :)

Last of the Easter (only 3 weeks late) :)

Easter at Aunt Shawn and Mike's in Cincinnati, OH.

Easter with Cousin Wyatt

The Easter Bunny must know I love PUFFS. He put some in my eggs.

Balloons are the BEST

11 month old Max Stats

SIZE

I weigh almost 21 lbs and am about 27 inches long/tall

TEETH

6 Chompers currently (4 on top and 2 on bottom)...

2 (possibly) 4 more just started to poke through on the bottom. I used my strong chompers to get Mommy a new cell phone last week (I cracked the old phone screen with one mighty bite)

I'll be eating steak in no time. :)

EATING

For now, I'm kind of in transition... (other than cell phones) I'm eating some table food, some regular baby food. I LOVE "Puffs" and thanks to a tip from my friend, Adyson, meat sticks are also a new fav (Mommy says they look and smell wierd but I love them) Next up on the menu...Birthday Cake (less than 1 month)

ON THE MOVE

I'm a master (quick) crawler. I pull up and "cruise" all over the place with the help of my trusty friends (Mr. Couch, Mr. Coffee Table, and whatever sturdy or not so sturdy help I can find)

Get Away Car

Does this look like a precious little boy up to no good?

(note...the Tivo has since been moved to the top of the cabinet...Max just LOVED to push the Tivo buttons...who knows what we'll end up recording)

"Just try to stop me...bet you can't quit laughing at me long enough to say "no".
"And now to my get away car....I'll be gone before Mommy realizes I just erased Grey's Anatomy"

(please note my "get-away face"...this is my new favorite scrunchy nose face...I think I learned this from Avery)

My First Ears!

Don't let this pitiful face fool you...I love my very first set of Mickey ears brought to me by Mitzi (Straight from the Magic Kingdom) I can't wait to get to meet Mickey in person! :)

Easter Egg Hunt (Round #1)

Get Ready...This is Round #1 of about 4 Egg hunts. Max will be an egg hunting pro by Sunday (and by pro I mean sitting in the grass with the eggs looking cute as can be) :)

"Um...this grass feels funny on my legs"

Very interested in the soccer basket from Mitzi


Proud of his orange egg

BUNNY TIME

Miss Mitzi invited Max to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Murray Calloway County Hospital. He got to meet the Easter Bunny (he was a little unsure about that Bunny).
