A moment of silence

June 29, 2012

Can we all observe a moment of silence on this lovely Friday for Maxwell’s shaggy curls.  He got a haircut on Tuesday and I mean a haircut!  I guess she felt like he needed a really clean cut for the summer!  It makes him look so much older and I’m just hoping those curls grow back fast!!

Maxwell didn’t seem bothered by the haircut at all.  He was just happy to get the sucker!

I on the other hand am a little bothered by it.  I just don’t like this growing up stuff.  Not one bit.

It is a nice cut though.  and he’s still my baby, no matter how old he looks.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!  We’re going to spend it trying to stay cool.  High on Saturday of 104!!  Yikes!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Recent developments

June 28, 2012

Two recent developments.

1. I think Maxwell is about to hit a growth spurt because, as of this week, he’s been eating like a horse.  We had a string of a few weeks where he was being even pickier than usual with his food and just not eating much.  I really think it had a lot to do with the congestion and cold he was fighting.  But, he’s healthy now and eating great!  Good thing because I think he was starting to look a little too skinny..

Look at those ribs!  I need my chubbo back!

One of his favorite things is a sandwich made on the panini press with pesto, chicken, pepper jack and tomatoes!  No PB&J for my dude – he wants gourmet!  Of course, his other favorite thing are corn dogs so…yea, guess he’s no gourmet!

2. Maxwell is obsessed with Grover, aka BaBa, these days.  With the 99 degree temps we’ve had outside, we’ve done a lot of this…

and this…

and this…

all while watching this…

Don’t worry, there’s still been some late afternoon outside playtime though!  Gotta keep him out there still to try and get rid of that darn sock tan!  🙂

See you tomorrow!

Up close and personal

June 27, 2012

Maxwell loves the self-portrait feature on my iphone.  I love it too because sometimes I get up close and personal gems like these…

Ok, so maybe that bottom right picture is a little too personal!  🙂  hahaha!  I’m sure Maxwell will kill me for that someday…that and everything else on this blog.  Love you sweet boy!!

Father’s Day

June 26, 2012

I’m finally getting up all the Father’s Day pictures from two weekends ago.  As I mentioned, we had Robert’s family in town for lunch and had a great time. There was a BBQ feast with Golden Rule BBQ and lots of homemade sides – cole slaw, beans, corn salad (very similar to this but I cook my onions and tomatoes) – and these strawberry shortcake cookies for dessert.  Yum!

Maxwell obviously loved all the attention and both he and Nanner got to wear some of Lulu’s jewelry for a while!

The weather was beautiful and the cousins had a blast playing outside with some bubbles and sidewalk chalk and whatever other toys were around.  I think everyone enjoyed being outside that day thanks to the fans on our deck!  I’m just going to let the pictures do the rest of the talking…

and, finally, proof that I was there too!

A great way to celebrate Father’s Day!

Playtime

June 25, 2012

Happy Monday!  Are we all ready for another week?  Yea, me neither.  The good news though?  Next week is July 4th which means a day off!  yay!

We had a great weekend but, man, it’s hot.  Highs in the upper 90’s and this pregnant lady isn’t enjoying it.  I’m already ready for the cool days of Fall!

Last week we had Maxwell’s friend, John Tanner, over to play.  John Tanner is only 2 months older than Maxwell and just lives around the corner from us.  I hope the two boys can grow up to be big neighborhood buddies!

Cute boys!
