Friday Favorite

April 15, 2011

We have such a fun weekend ahead and we’re so excited to see all of our family! Some have already arrived…

Yay GJ and Daddo! Can we also talk about how cute those little overalls are?! super cute.

Today’s Friday Favorite are these super cute, sturdy wooden trucks I got for Maxwell. He loves to watch me push them around him and then he, of course, loves to put them in his mouth. There’s a fire truck, a police truck and dump truck. I feel like these are really going to hold up and be favorite for a long time! If you’re in Birmingham, I got them at Once Upon a Time.

Have a great weekend!

Visitors!

March 23, 2011

Earlier this week we had a lunch time visit from Lu Lu and Granddad! Unfortunately we didn’t get a picture of Lu Lu but we got some good ones of Maxwell and his Granddad…

3 generations of Browns!

Food update – Squash is a hit! I think he liked them as much as sweet potatoes. Maybe Maxwell only likes orange foods? Carrots are this afternoon so we’ll test the theory. Supernanny Susan also got him to eat bananas. hooray! The boy can’t live on sweet potatoes alone!

Sunglasses round 2

March 22, 2011

On Sunday when my mom and I were working in the yard, Robert and Maxwell came out to keep us company. It was bright and sunny so the sunglasses were a must to keep the squinting away!

Too bad Robert was squinting! He needed his sunglasses too…

But he’s still pretty cute, squinting or not!

Can you find me in the picture?

You can see me even better here…

Cute baby boy.

Food update! Surprisingly, bananas and apples are still a maybe. Not as good as sweet potatoes but definitely better than the pears! Peas weren’t that big of a hit either. We might have a picky eater on our hands! I’m not too worried though – if he’s anything like his momma he’ll come around and love just about any food…except mushrooms. yuck.

His future’s so bright…

He’s gotta wear shades. really, really cute shades!!

Are you dying yet? and laughing out loud? I can barely handle the cuteness and think they are so funny! GJ visited this weekend and brought Maxwell these awesome sunglasses. They totally protect his eyes, can be worn with either side up and have a head strap so they won’t get lost. Genius! We love them and we love GJ!

We had a FANTASTIC weekend. GJ, Maxwell and I hit up lots of fun stores and got Maxwell all ready for spring and summer with lots of new clothes. GJ then very nicely babysat Saturday night while Robert and I went out to dinner (Chez Fon Fon – yum!) and then she babysat again Sunday morning so we could go to church. But the nicest thing GJ did? Help me work in the yard! We got tons and tons of weeds pulled and things are looking good out there!

What else did we do this weekend? We fed Maxwell fruits and vegetables for the first time! We now know he LOVES sweet potatoes and HATES pears…I mean HATES pears. It was honestly funny to watch him try to eat the pears…there was plenty of gagging going on! I think we’ll move onto other fruits and leave the pears alone!

Here are some more pics of our cool little dude in his glasses…

This picture cracks me up…

Pucker up buttercup…

Checking out Robert’s newly organized and super clean storage shed!

Playing with GJ’s face…

Just being cool and letting his cheeks hang out…

I simply don’t think it gets any cuter than this…

Thanks for all your help this weekend, GJ! Come back real soon!!

Huntsville Recap

March 17, 2011

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you’re all wearing your green! 🙂

As I mentioned on Monday, we went to Huntsville last weekend to see most of Robert’s family and meet the newest cousin, Andrew! It was a great day…

Maxwell got lots of good squeezes from Lulu…

and had lots of fun playing with her face!

Maxwell then got to meet Andrew. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on him!

Andrew wasn’t quite so sure what to make of Maxwell! 🙂

But he warmed up to him pretty quickly…

and they were instant hand-holding buddies!

Maxwell then enjoyed playing with some different toys…

and watching Andrew open some presents…

We then tried to take some pictures of Andrew and Maxwell together. Definitely not as easy as it sounds. My focus is way off (I blame the moving babies) and the color was terrible so I changed them to black and white. Not the best but it was the best I could do in the light…
