The rest of our weekend was just as great as Friday night, especially because we had a quick visit from GJ…

and we got to celebrate Robert’s first Father’s Day!

I think he had a good one.  Considering it involved a new hat, new golf shoes and some personal training sessions, I sure hope he thought it was good!  He still did have to mow the lawn though…a dad’s work is never done.

Maxwell had an exciting weekend.  Besides watching 2 two-year olds run around his house, he got to try cantaloupe for the first time.  At first I put it in one of these things…

But then thought he’d like it a lot more if I just gave him a big piece of cantaloupe…

I was right.

But then he chewed off a chunk of the cantaloupe and I was afraid he was going to choke on it (having no teeth to chew it and all) so I had to stick my fingers in his mouth and pull the chunk out which made him very unhappy.  Sigh…I guess a mom’s work is never done either.

First, a crawling update.  Since Maxwell started crawling 2 weeks ago, he has quickly progressed from tentative mover to big time mover and shaker!  His form is a bit questionable – on the belly, one elbow, one hand, one knee as a rudder with the other leg dragging behind – but he can get from one side of the room to the other in no time flat!  He’s quickly showing me where I need to baby proof and what cabinets need to be cleared out!  Just yesterday he started to move a little up on all fours.  Watch out world!

Second, As I think I’ve mentioned before, my mom has a great group on friends down in Florida and they all do these fantastic dance aerobics classes on the beach.  I always try and go with my mom while I’m down there and, let me tell you, it’s a workout…especially in the heat and humidity!  When we were down there two weeks ago, Robert walked to the beach with us so everyone could see Mr. Maxwell.

Maxwell wasn’t quite so sure he wanted to be out in that heat!

One of my mom’s friends also brought her granddaughter down that day.  Sophie is only 3 days younger than Maxwell and he had the best time checking her out!

Sophie wasn’t quite so sure what to make of Mr. Smiley Grabby Hands!!

Especially when he tried to take her clothes off!!

Luckily Robert intervened before we got into real trouble!

Maybe Maxwell and Sophie can grow up to be beach buddies!

These two cuties had quite the crowd watching them…Maxwell was eating up all the attention!

I think we’re going to have our hands full with this little ladies man!  🙂  It was a great day and, as we left, Maxwell waved goodbye to his adoring fans!

Fun times!

It’s was an interesting weekend…  Maxwell was his normal happy, smiley, giggly self on Friday afternoon and then at 6:00 the switch flipped!  He was inconsolable, had a low grade fever and didn’t even want to eat.  Not good!  We got him to bed and he slept very fitfully all night.  Saturday morning he was pretty listless and wouldn’t let me put him down for one second.  He also had zero appetite all day – I couldn’t even get him to eat his favorite applesauce!  He perked up a little in the afternoon so we were able to take him to his friend’s first birthday party but he just wasn’t himself.  Lulu and Granddad came up Saturday afternoon because Robert and I had a wedding to go to that night.  He seemed to be doing a bit better so went left him in the capable hands of his grandparents and went and had a great time at the wedding.  Maxwell did fine and thankfully slept pretty well Saturday night.  After a rough day on Saturday, he slowly got back to his normal smiley self on Sunday after a solid 2 hour morning nap.  We’re thinking maybe it’s just some teeth coming through?  I don’t know what it is but I hate seeing my little buddy so pitiful.

Feeling better on Sunday…

Doesn’t he look tough in his muscle tee?  🙂

I didn’t take many pics this weekend but still have some more from Florida to share…

Delaney playing with “Robber’s baby!”  🙂

Nate the Great…or Nater Tater…whichever you prefer!

More pool pics!  We got back into the pool on Monday before we left to go home and Maxwell thought it was about the greatest thing ever…

 

The best part about the pool?  After pool hair!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
