Friday Favorite

May 6, 2011

When we did Maxwell’s baptism a few weeks ago, I had a photographer meet us afterward to take some pictures of all the generations together.  The photographer, Lauren Ustad, did such a great job that I decided to make her today’s Friday Favorite!  If you need a good photographer in Birmingham, I definitely recommend her!

You can check out her work here:  Piper Photography

Here are some of my favorite shots of hers from the day….

I could kiss his sweet cheeks all day long!

I specifically asked her to take this shot so we could get a good photo of the knee socks!

With Susu, Dodo and GJ…

Granddaddy, Daddo and John….

The three Max’s all together!

With Granddad and Lulu…

The whole Brown clan – love Maxwell’s face in this one…

and the whole Patterson clan!

With Daddo and GJ.  Someone really should have told Robert to unbutton his jacket here…  🙂

It was a great day and I’m so glad Lauren was there to capture it!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!  See you Monday…or maybe Sunday.  😉

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

My buddy and me

April 11, 2011

This weekend I was on my own with my favorite little buddy. Robert was out of town on a golf trip with his brother (a Christmas present from moi) so Maxwell and I got lots of QT. We were pretty productive too – worked in the yard, took several walks, stocked up on groceries, did some shopping and then cleaned out my closet to make room for that shopping. I’m taking advantage of these days when I can tote Maxwell around Saks with no complaints…I know that won’t last forever! 🙂 It was a gorgeous weekend here too with temps in the high 80’s. It was nice but I’m not ready for those sweltering summer days quite yet. Let me tell ya, 88 degrees feels way hotter when you’re toting a 17 pound baby boy on your hip!

We have a fun week coming up. Maxwell’s baptism is on Sunday so lots of family is coming into town. We are so excited to see everyone! Enjoy the pics today…

Maxwell sucking on his bottom lip like he often does…

Maxwell shrieking in delight…

Have a great Monday!

Rainy Day

March 15, 2011

Last week we had some pretty nasty weather.  A dreary rainy day seemed like a good excuse to take some pictures by the window…and I thought they looked neat in black and white.

Then Maxwell and Robert checked out all the rain in the backyard…

Cute boys…

I guess rainy days aren’t so bad after all.

Comparison

Just to compare how much he’s grown…

Almost 3 months old…

and almost 6 months old…

I’m off to invent a machine that stops time now….

Friday Favorite

February 25, 2011

Today’s Friday Favorite is Sophie the Giraffe!  Sophie has a bit of a cult following in the baby toy world and I can see why.  Maxwell absolutely loves this squeaky little rubber giraffe and chews on it more than any of his other toys.  I think it feels good to his gums.

Sophie is French (ooh la la) and has been around since 1961!  You can read the whole story about how she came to be here – Sophie.

Here’s Maxwell chewing, chewing, chewing on Miss Sophie!

I highly recommend Sophie to anyone with a baby!

Have a great weekend!
