Baptism Weekend – part 1

April 18, 2011

Well, this past weekend simply could not have been better. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Maxwell was baptized at IPC on Sunday. We had just about our entire family in town for the big event and it was so special. My little guy did great during the church service and made us all very proud. I have lots of pictures to share so here we go.

My parents got into town on Wednesday and then my mom drove over to Arkansas to pick up Susu and Dodo on Friday. Maxwell was very happy to see them as always…

On Saturday morning, Keath, Jen, Delaney and baby Nate flew in from Florida. I was so happy to get to squeeze on Nate…

He’s a good snuggler! Someone who’s not a good snuggler? Miss Delaney. She’s too busy running around and around! Most of my pics of her looked like this…

A blurry whirlwind! She never stops moving! I did manage to grab a few cute ones though. Here she is in mid-conversation…

Playing with Maxwell’s toys…

Checking out her reflection…

And just being a sweet little girl…

I sure do love her! Keath and Jen had gotten up at 4:00am to catch their flight. Combine that with a 4 month old and Delaney’s energy, it’s no surprise that Keath ended up like this on the couch…

The great GJ was here too, of course. Here’s a rare moment when she didn’t have Delaney in her arms!

Jen must have been corralling her at that point!

Everyone was getting lots of good Maxwell time in, including me!

Daddo and Dodo got in on the action too.

Then Maxwell and Daddo had a little chat…

Probably about cars or watches. 🙂 Not wanting to be left out, Nate insisted on a few snuggles from Daddo too and he was happy to oblige…

Maxwell then decided he wanted to check out Nate a little closer…

Maybe a little too close! oops! 🙂 Let’s try that again…

Much better! I love that these little cousins are only 4 months apart. I see big buds in the future! It was a fantastic start to the weekend. Much more to come tomorrow!!

Here’s a little sneak peak…

Knee socks and monogrammed shoes. The cuteness is killing me! See you tomorrow!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

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…

March 21, 2011

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!!
