Favorite

August 10, 2011

Maxwell clearly has favorites around here….and right now I’m not one of them.  Robert and Susan are high on the list.  I try not to get my feelings hurt when I reach for him and he turns his little face into either Robert or Susan’s shoulder.  I try to convince myself that being a working mom isn’t causing this.  I try to remember this is just a phase.  It is just a phase, right?

I know I’m his momma and he will always love me…but I’m just ready for him to show me a little love.  a hug?  a “ma ma”?  anything?  I’m not asking for much….just to be his absolute favorite person in the world.  that’s all.

To make me feel better, here are some pics I took last week of me with my favorite buddy (even though the feeling may not be mutual right now!)

Ok, I’m off to attend my pity party now.  Reservation for 1.

What’s that? More shoe pics?

August 9, 2011

You didn’t think I’d let those iphone pics be it for the new shoes, did you?  Of course not.  We had to have a little “new shoe photoshoot”!

Enjoy the pics of the new kicks…

Wait for it…

Boom!

Goodness gracious he’s cute…in my totally unbiased opinion!  🙂

While he may not be walking in his new kicks yet, they sure haven’t slowed down his crawling!

Shoes!

August 8, 2011

Happy Monday!  Our weekend was very un-exciting and productive….love that.  We did take advantage of the Tax Free Weekend and got Maxwell his first pair of real shoes!  I’ve already shown you my love of footwear and so it wasn’t hard to convince me that Maxwell needed some real shoes for “school” in the fall.  (school = mother’s day out 1 day a week).  We got to the shoe store and, after measuring his foot, learned that our little buddy has quite a fat little foot!  His foot measured a 3.5 wide!

First we tried the cute Keds in both navy and white…

Even though they were a size 4 wide, they just wouldn’t go across the top of his foot.  So, we moved onto the New Balance…

Success!  See that little orange tag on the shoe?  Yea, it says WIDE in all caps!  I love my baby – chubby cheeks and chubby feet!

After going for a little practice walk…

we all decided they were keepers!

I’m sure this first pair of real shoes will get Maxwell walking on his own in no time!  In the meantime, he can just stand around and look cute…

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

workin’ for the weekend

August 5, 2011

Maybe it’s the heat.

Maybe it’s the fact that the summer days are ticking away.

Maybe it’s that work has been extra stressful lately.

Maybe it’s just that I want to spend all my free time with my best buddy.

Whatever the reason, Friday can’t come soon enough each week.  I am living for the weekends right now…weekends where we do nothing exciting but it seems like the best thing in the world because we’re doing nothing exciting together.  I love my little family.

Bring on the weekend!

I cleaned off the photos from my iphone.  Here’s a little glimpse into what goes on around here during the weekdays and weekends…

Happy Friday.  Happy Weekend.  See you Monday!

Groceries

August 4, 2011

Going to the grocery store isn’t exactly my favorite chore. But, if I can bring home this in my grocery bag every day I might change my mind!

Wonder if he ever goes on “buy one, get one” special?

In other big news, today is LuLu’s birthday!! Maxwell is sending a giant hug to you LuLu. He’s hoping your day is as good as graham crackers and Baby Noah on the DVD…it doesn’t get much better than that to him!

We love LuLu!
