Reports

January 24, 2012

A few reports:

Report 1 – Big news around here! After riding backwards his entire life, Maxwell is now facing forward in the car.  It’s like a whole new world!

I think he likes it!  and I love being able to just turn around and see his smiling face!  🙂

Report 2 – his Jumpin Jack shoes are still awesome.

ps – the pic above was clearly pre-haircut!

pps – his pants are still too short.

Report 3 – Maxwell is wiping this house clean out of toilet paper…

Report 4 – Maxwell doesn’t discriminate when it comes to rolled paper. Toilet paper or paper towel…he’ll clean you out of both!

Report 5 – Maxwell loves wearing hats. Inside, outside, everywhere. If he finds one of his hats in the house, he’ll bring it to me to put on his head and he’ll wear it all day.  Examples…

Report 6 – Maxwell ate at the big table and really liked it I think.  He even used a spoon to put a small amount of food in his mouth and a large amount of food all over the table…

Report 7 – Maxwell said Momma clear as day…several times.  This kid is all Dada this and Dada that every day, all day.  He NEVER says Momma but them, in the middle of his dinner, he just looked at me and said it. He then said it again several times that night. It was awesome…and he totally should have been asking me for a new car because I would have given him pretty much anything he wanted at that point.  🙂

Report 8 – Look who can still fit in the beloved sling?

Report 9 – My buddy is cute.  That’s all.

That’s all the reports I have for today!  Have a good one!

Would love to hear from you! 7 Comments

A Perfect 10!

January 23, 2012

Happy Monday everyone!  We had a good weekend and Maxwell even got to go to a birthday party on Saturday for his buddy Anne’s 2nd birthday.  The party was at the local gymnastics place and let’s just say that I think I’ll be signing him up for some gymnastics lessons soon!  What a fun place for a party – the kids got to run around, jump on anything they wanted and even play in the foam pit.  2 year old heaven!

Maxwell wasted no time getting busy….

There was fun stuff to climb on all around…

He looks like a natural, huh? You know, I just thought of this.  Maxwell’s grandmother is named Mary Lou and the greatest gymnast of all time is also named Mary Lou…coincidence?  Or a sign that Maxwell is destined to be a famed gymnast??  Stranger things have happened!

Foam pit = awesome.

After the kiddos were all jumped out, it was time to celebrate the birthday girl with cupcakes and juice.  Maxwell had his first experience with a juice box and it went better than expected…

He then got a big red cupcake…

and before I could even say bib, he had that thing in his mouth…

No surprise there considering his history with cake.  Maxwell clearly enjoyed the cupcake and the red icing…

While Maxwell was pretty messy, his friend Davis next to him on the right took the cake…literally.  His cupcake landed in his lap icing side down and there was red icing everywhere!  So wish I had gotten a better picture of him.  Oh well, nothing a few (dozen) wet wipes and some Shout can’t take care of!  Love these messy boys!

It was a fun party all around!!

Redneck wonderland

January 20, 2012

Yes, I’m from Arkansas. Yes, I live in Alabama. No, ya’ll, I’m not a redneck.  But, I did recently take my first trip to the redneck wonderland that is Bass Pro and it’s pretty unbelievable.  For starters, the place is HUGE.  There are boats inside the store for goodness sake! You can eat lunch, play old school shooting arcade games, and buy absolutely anything in camouflage that your heart desires. The purpose of our trip was for Robert to pick up a few things for an upcoming hunting trip.  While he browsed, Maxwell and I explored…

We visited with small fish…

and big fish.

We posed in front of the woods…

and checked out the massive first floor below.

We tried on some boots…

checked ourselves out in the shoe mirror…

and went up and down this ramp in the shoe section approx 562 times.

We played sheriff…

and galloped away on the horsey.

We checked out the real live fish…

and checked out the fish some more…they were pretty cool.

What a day!  Need to remember this place for a good rainy day activity!

Hope you all have some fun adventures this weekend!  See you Monday!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Anniversary

January 19, 2012

4 years ago today Robert and I did this…

You can read more about our wedding here and here.

There are lots of things I love about Robert – his smile, his eyes, his funny and spot-on impersonations that always make me laugh. But, what I love most about him now is this…

He’s a GREAT dad.  and Maxwell LOVES him to pieces…just like I do.

Robert – 4 years of wedded bliss plus 1 cute baby boy…I think that deserves a high 5!

Happy Anniversary!

Speedracer

January 18, 2012

How cute is this race car sweater I got Maxwell in Aspen?  Full disclosure – I got it at The Gap in Aspen…but it sounds so much cooler to just say I got in Aspen doesn’t it?

Whaddya think, Daddo?  Kinds look like the GTO, huh?!
