More Snow

I know this is awfully redundant but I couldn't resist.... :)

Snow Days

No action for snow boots

Two weeks ago, Max woke up unable to put any weight on his right leg. He collapsed down in tears a couple of times but quickly learned how to maneuver to get where he wanted to go. Of course his parents were very worried about his sudden limping. We spent most of the day at the hospital getting x-rays, blood work, antibiotic shots and strep cultures. The Doctor finally decided he had something called transient synovitis. Basically, some infection (from a cold two weeks prior) had lingered and settled in his hip joint causing inflammation and pain. After a big antibiotic shot (see left thigh), some motrin and lots of parental worrying, our little Buddy woke up the next morning hopping, jumping and running as though nothing had ever been wrong. These babies bounce back so quickly. Max was so excited to be walking again (after a whole day of taking it slow) that he felt he needed to sport his very snazzy snow boots that light up when you walk. Sadly, in KY, we have been the recipients of lots of nasty winter weather but no pretty snow....only yucky ice and sleet which is not fun for toddler playing. This may be the only action his snazzy snow boots see this year. :)

"When will we get some good-playin snow?"

In Action

Dump Truck passenger

In addition to the new motorized vehicle, Max also enjoys riding in his "Daddy-powered" dump truck.

Max's New Wheels

Max's Mama and Papa do not want to hear him whine when he's 12 that he never got a car when he was litte (they might be remembering Max's Mommy doing a little "too late" whining on this topic in the past).
Thanks for the wheels Mama and Papa!

Look what Santa brought!

"C" is for Cookie Monster

Did anyone order a cute little boy for delivery?

Max gets "delivered" to Great Grandma Hern's room by UPS man, Daddy. He LOVED this game and there were many, many tears when Daddy got too tired to play anymore :)
