Christmas recap, part 1

December 27, 2010

Well, Maxwell’s first Christmas has come and gone and I don’t think it could have been any better!!  I was down in Naples, FL visiting my parents with the baby for the past week while Robert flew down to join us on Tuesday.  Maxwell’s great grandmother, Susu, and great-great aunt, Dodo were there all week as well.  My brother, Keath, and his wife, Jen, drove over on Thursday with their 19 month old cutey chatterbox, Delaney.  While I really missed seeing my family in Searcy, we had a house full down in Naples and I loved it!!  I took over 700 pictures and it’s going to take me a while to go through them all.  I guess I’ll just start at the beginning of the week and give you all the rundown of events.  Sound good?  good.  Here we go….

Last Sunday, Maxwell and I hopped on a plane and took a direct flight into Tampa.  Thankfully he slept almost the entire flight.  GJ was waiting for us at the airport and Maxwell was super excited to see her…

We had a few hours to kill in Tampa before Susu and Dodo’s plane got in so we loaded into the car and headed to the mall for some last minute shopping…

Shopping wears you out though and we soon had to head back to the car for a little nap…

We finally made it to Naples pretty late Sunday night.  Early Monday morning, GJ and I took Maxwell down to the beach to meet all of his exercise buddies!  These are all my mom’s great friends from her fun dance aerobics class.  They loved getting to see Maxwell…and I loved getting to take the class!

Maxwell with GJ and 2 of her best buds, Judy and Becky…

I love this picture because it’s exactly how things were all week…everyone wanting to get their face in close to my little chubbo!

That afternoon, Maxwell got to play with Susu…

and Daddo…

He was such a happy little guy with everyone!  The next morning brought a little more playtime with Susu….

My cute little guy was definitely getting ready for Christmas to arrive…

Ok, that’s two days of pictures done!  I’ll be back tomorrow with LOTS more!!  Have a great day!

Christmas card photoshoot

December 22, 2010

While I wanted a photo of the 3 of us for the front of our card, I also wanted to take a cute picture of Maxwell in his Christmas hat for the back of our card.  So, one morning I pulled out the camera and snapped away.  It all went a little something like this…

Hi Momma!  a photoshoot for the Christmas card?!  Alright!

Since it’s for the Christmas card, I’ll sing carols while you snap away.  Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells…

Jingle all the way…

Uh oh.  I think I pulled a Lou Lou in that last one and closed my eyes.  Let’s try again.  Cheese!!

Geez Momma.  That would have been a great one if only you knew how to focus the camera!  I’ve got an idea  – let’s try something different like this…

Oh come on…are you suuuuure sticking my tongue out doesn’t look cute?

How about spit bubbles then?

Aw, come on!  No spit bubbles either?

You’re no fun, Momma.  I give up.

Despite all of Maxwell’s hijinks, I did get a cute picture that made it to the back of our Christmas card.  If you haven’t seen it, check back here on Friday!

Friday Favorite

December 17, 2010

First, guess who flipped from  his back to his tummy last night in his crib?!  My little acrobat!

Now, on with the show…Today’s Friday Favorite are the long sleeve Old Navy onesies. They’re thick and soft! I love the kind with 2 snaps up at the shoulder because they make it easy to get over Maxwell’s head. They come in lots of cute stripe patterns that totally remind me of clothes Robert wore when he was little…like this one:

The best part? they’re cheap. They almost always have some on sale. I just ordered this one on sale for $2.99. Cute, huh?

Rosy, chapped cheeks from the cold…

I think this picture is cool. It’s like a foggy haze on a pirate ship…

AARGH! Have a great weekend!

Bumbo

December 15, 2010

Look who can sit up in his Bumbo!

Feeling pretty proud of himself!

Wondering what that little bee is doing on his arm while he’s trying to enjoy his bumbo time!

We can’t leave him in it for too long as he still doesn’t have total control of that big ole noggin but he’s getting there!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments
