Weekend recap

October 10, 2011

Happy Monday all!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Our was good. Robert cooked me a fantastic dinner for my birthday on Friday. Maxwell even got in on the celebration too and enjoyed some of ~~Robert’s leftover~~ my birthday cake…

On Saturday Robert got Maxwell dressed and out he came in these hilarious squeaker Alabama shoes. They were a gift last Christmas from Jenny and Ronnie and I didn’t think they fit yet but they did…and they are funny.

Want to see and hear the squeak in action? Of course you do! Here you go!

Robert got to go to the game Saturday night so Maxwell and I stayed home and kicked it on the couch together…

Sunday morning Maxwell played with ALL of his toys..

and then accompanied us on a trip to Home Depot where he helped Robert pick out a leaf blower/vaccum.

Maxwell was quick to point out which one was best…

and was very happy when Robert picked the right one!

Maxwell then helped us gather up some mums…

So we could make our front steps look like fall. Success!

Great weekend all around!

You say it’s your birthday?

October 7, 2011

It’s my birthday too!

Happy Birthday to me! The big 33. I think you should get to celebrate extra big on your dual number birthdays so I plan to do just that. What am I going to do? Hang out with this little guy, of course…

I sure am a lucky girl to get to spend my birthday with him and Robert!

And if I’m really lucky maybe I’ll get a piece of cake! (leftover from Robert’s birthday, of course!) 🙂

Hope you all have a great weekend! I know I will!

Balloons and cake!

October 6, 2011

First, I am happy to report that Maxwell is feeling much, much better. I think we’ve turned the corner and have our happy little guy back! thank goodness!

Second, we had a rip-roaring, throw-down of a party for Robert’s birthday on Tuesday. Not really. We did have balloons, tacos and cake though! What more could a 35 year old ask for?

I still had some helium leftover from Maxwell’s birthday so I decided to make things a little festive for Robert. When Maxwell saw the balloons I blew up for Dad, he had to have one himself…

Balloons and babies are just fun together!

I don’t think Robert really cared about his balloons, but he did like his cake!

I hope he thought it was a good birthday. And I also hope whatever he wished for comes true!

Considering he scored some box seats for the AL game this weekend, I think his wish might have worked! 🙂

Ear update

October 5, 2011

As I told you on Monday, Maxwell has a double ear infection and started on Amoxicillin Friday. I was really hopeful that he’d be back to his old self by Sunday but, no such luck. When he was still pretty pitiful on Monday morning I took him back to the doctor and she confirmed that the infection in his right ear was not getting better and his left ear was even getting worse. No good. So, she gave him a prescription for a stronger antibiotic, Augmentin. After even just two doses he already seems to be doing better. Thank goodness, he’s just been so miserable. I think it hurts me almost as much as it hurts him!

I took these pictures Monday morning before I decided to take him back to the doctor. You can just see in his eyes that he doesn’t feel good…

These ear infections have been like a horror movie…that’s why I decided to dress him in his Freddy Kruger shirt. ha! I bought this shirt at Old Navy and had no idea that Freddy Kruger always wore a red and brown stripe shirt until Robert told me when I got home. Guess it could be a makeshift Halloween costume if we need it!

Hopefully this horror movie will be over soon and he’ll be back to his smiley, giggly self!

In case you’re wondering (although I’m sure you’re not), the birthday pictures from yesterday were actually taken earlier last week before he got so sick…that’s why I got a few good smiles out of him! but, if you look at them again, you can see that he’s got redness under his eyes and looks a little tired..the infection was coming!
