A trip down south

February 7, 2011

Last weekend, Robert, Maxwell and I loaded up the car and headed an hour south to see the fam in Montgomery.  Maxwell was itching to visit LuLu and Granddaddy and Robert had a date with a 3 year old little girl.  Very important reasons to head down!

Luckily Maxwell slept the whole ride down…

got lots of good squeezes from LuLu when we arrived in Montgomery…

and had all sorts of fun new toys to play with!

It was a GORGEOUS day…

Yep, that says 75 degrees in January! Robert and I took the baby over to the nearby park where we thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine…

After all the fun strolling, Maxwell and Robert had to take a little time-out to rest and chew on their hand…

Did you know Robert’s a funny guy?  He is.  Makes me laugh every day.  Love him.

That night, Robert had a big date with his niece, Anna.  Anna and her sister Katie had plans to go to the Daddy Daughter dance at the country club.  However, there’s 2 of them and only 1 Daddy.  So, Robert gladly stepped in to play substitute Daddy.  Here’s everyone all dolled up and ready to go….

The back row looks a little more excited about the dance than the front row.  Perhaps Ronnie didn’t yet know that Miley Cyrus would be played by the DJ?  or that there would be as many heart shaped sugar cookies as he could eat?  Had he known that, I’m sure he would have had a smile as big as his brother’s!!  🙂

The girls boogied, twirled and shook their way all around the dance floor with Uncle Robert.  Meanwhile, I hung out with Jenny, Mary Beth, LuLu and my long lost friend, Pinot Grigio.  Definitely a good time for all involved!

We had a great trip and can’t wait to see everyone again soon!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Saturday surprise!

February 5, 2011

Happy Saturday!  Just downloaded these pictures off my phone so thought I’d do a little Saturday surprise post.  These are about 4 weeks old but are some of my favorites…

Love this smile.

Love these eyes.

And LOVE these cheeks…my favorite cheeks…

That’s not the first time I’ve done that to my poor child’s irresistible cheeks….and I can guarantee you it won’t be the last either!  🙂

Friday Favorite – Johnny Jump Up!

February 4, 2011

Today’s Friday Favorite is our new Johnny Jump Up!! Maxwell doesn’t really “jump” in his Johnny Jump Up yet but he sure does like to hang out and swing around!

It sure looks fun…kinda wish I had one for myself! 🙂

Sitting up!

February 3, 2011

Maxwell is very close to being able to sit up on his own.  He’s still a little wobbly but if he leans forward enough that belly can help him stay upright.  Exciting!

5 Months Old!

February 2, 2011

Maxwell turned 5 months old on Sunday!  I love this age.  He’s so happy and smiley.  He reacts to us and interacts with us.  He’s sleeping great too which doesn’t hurt!  Every night he goes down at 7pm and doesn’t stir until 6:30am….sort of.  He won’t fully wake up until the morning but he will stir in the night and will lift his legs up and slam them down onto the mattress with a loud WOMP!  I have no idea how he doesn’t wake himself up doing that because it’s loud.  I can hear the WOMP all the way down the hall in our bedroom!  He loves spending time in his jumperoo, going for walks in the stroller and swinging at the park.  Every night he gets so excited for bath time and kick kick kicks his little legs in the water.  He’s still a great eater and now eats 4 times a day – 7am, 11am, 3pm, and 6pm.  He takes 3 naps a day – 9am, 1pm and another short nap around 4:30.  He definitely knows who Robert and I are and even sometimes gives a little pouty lip when we leave…sad to see but I love that he loves us!  🙂  He puts everything in his mouth.  I think those teeth are coming soon!  As much as I want him to stay this age FOREVER, I can’t wait to see what the months ahead have in store for him!

As usual, we did our monthly photo shoot in the green chair…

And, as usual, we had a nice little conversation throughout…

Mom:  Maxwell, do you know how many months old you are?

Maxwell:  ummm….this many?

Mom: No silly, not 2 months!  try again….

Mom:  Nope, not 4 months either!  Try one more time…

Mom:  5 months!  that’s right!  I’m so proud of you!

Maxwell:  Oh boy!  I love being 5 months old!

Maxwell then decided to show me some of his best poses….

Suave guy…

Happy guy…

Grumpy guy…

and, of course, Swimming guy…  🙂

We then had to take our picture with Little Al….

Maxwell always gets excited to hang out with Little Al…

And now, just a few close-ups to round out the 5 month celebration…

And, of course, I saved the best for last!

Happy 5 months sweet boy!  We love you!
