I love being a mom and I love my little buddy.  But, let’s face it, motherhood can have some highs and some lows.   Yesterday had both extremes:

Low – I had to travel for work on Wednesday and I left before Maxwell was up and got home after he was asleep.  Needless to say, I was super excited to go get him out of his bed yesterday morning.  Maxwell was kind enough to greet me with a bed full of vomit.  I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say that both the bathtub and the washing machine were in use before 7:00am!  I think, yet again, he just got choked on some congestion and his sensitive gag reflex reacted…all over his crib.  Ugh.

High – Maxwell wasn’t sick and was totally fine all morning so I sent him to school and he had a GREAT day.  He even got an adorable school picture taken which I’ll share later.  After a fantastic nap he was just as happy as he could be.  He was belly laughing and pushing his lawn mower around and around and around the house.  We played a rousing game of peekaboo which really got him giggling.  He was giving hugs and kisses left and right.  At one point last night I remarked to Robert, “I think this is the cutest he’s ever been.”  Definite high.

I sure do love him…even if he is a puker.

In other news, Maxwell now has a hat that fits him. He actually now has several.  Thank you Old Navy!

I think this little red one is too cute.  Yes, it’s a little big right now but I’m sure his big ole noggin will fill it out in no time!

Big brown eyes…

And I know what you all are thinking about the hat and I only have one thing to say….

“Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits!”

I hope all you wascally wabbits have a great weekend!

Remember this snort?  Well, after a brief absence, it’s baaaack!

It’s even funnier now that he has teeth!

My little piggy!

It was pretty chilly here last week so we had to bust out the coat and hat.  I bought this little hat at Old Navy and it’s a 12 to 18 month size.  You’d think it would be plenty big for my 14 month old, right?  Well, not for his big yet perfectly round 14 month old noggin!  It kinda looks like it fits here but it’s tiiiight…

Must be all those brains he got from his momma!  🙂  We’ll be ordering a new, bigger hat today!

In other news, Maxwell has abandoned his beloved swings for the much more exciting slide…

This little slide he can brave by himself (with a little help from Momma).  The real fun comes when he gets to go down the big slide on my lap!  We’ll have to get a picture of that another day…or not.

I have a slight obsession with puffy vests. I own several and love them. When I saw the baby puffy vests at Old Navy, I knew Maxwell had to have one. I am now slightly obsessed with how unbelievably adorable he is in his puffy vest…

Are you kidding me?! I could eat him up. seriously.

I love this next one. As I said on Facebook, “Next stop? GQ.”

Somebody get this kid an agent.
