Baptism Weekend – part 3

April 20, 2011

Continuing on with the events of last weekend…

After brunch, Robert’s side of the family headed back to Montgomery and Huntsville but my side of the family came over to our house for a little bit.  Maxwell was clearly happy to get out of his “fancy” clothes and into something a bit more comfy…

He then had fun checking out Daddo’s watch as usual.

Delaney was pretty good at pulling out all of Maxwell’s toys, including Little Al!

After running around and around, we finally got Delaney to sit still for a few minutes by turning on an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  She loved seeing Mimi Mouse and Don Duck!  🙂  Here’s she and Daddo watching intently…

Meanwhile, John and Cara got some good Maxwell time in…

and GJ smiled!

Maxwell then got to open some really sweet gifts for the big occasion.  Along with a beautiful silver frame and sweet wooden cross, he also got a bath time Sophie…

a cute Noah and his Ark…

and an awesome elephant rocker!

Of course he tried to eat the ears!

We then tried to get a few shots of Susu with her great-grandbabies.

A shot of 1 baby worked great…

a shot of 2 babies was a little difficult…

and a shot of 3 babies was impossible!

It was pretty funny.  At least we tried!

And, finally, just a few more shots to round out the day…

It was such a fun weekend and I’m so grateful so much of my family was able to be there.  I’m ready to do it all again!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Baptism Weekend – part 1

April 18, 2011

Well, this past weekend simply could not have been better. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Maxwell was baptized at IPC on Sunday. We had just about our entire family in town for the big event and it was so special. My little guy did great during the church service and made us all very proud. I have lots of pictures to share so here we go.

My parents got into town on Wednesday and then my mom drove over to Arkansas to pick up Susu and Dodo on Friday. Maxwell was very happy to see them as always…

On Saturday morning, Keath, Jen, Delaney and baby Nate flew in from Florida. I was so happy to get to squeeze on Nate…

He’s a good snuggler! Someone who’s not a good snuggler? Miss Delaney. She’s too busy running around and around! Most of my pics of her looked like this…

A blurry whirlwind! She never stops moving! I did manage to grab a few cute ones though. Here she is in mid-conversation…

Playing with Maxwell’s toys…

Checking out her reflection…

And just being a sweet little girl…

I sure do love her! Keath and Jen had gotten up at 4:00am to catch their flight. Combine that with a 4 month old and Delaney’s energy, it’s no surprise that Keath ended up like this on the couch…

The great GJ was here too, of course. Here’s a rare moment when she didn’t have Delaney in her arms!

Jen must have been corralling her at that point!

Everyone was getting lots of good Maxwell time in, including me!

Daddo and Dodo got in on the action too.

Then Maxwell and Daddo had a little chat…

Probably about cars or watches. 🙂 Not wanting to be left out, Nate insisted on a few snuggles from Daddo too and he was happy to oblige…

Maxwell then decided he wanted to check out Nate a little closer…

Maybe a little too close! oops! 🙂 Let’s try that again…

Much better! I love that these little cousins are only 4 months apart. I see big buds in the future! It was a fantastic start to the weekend. Much more to come tomorrow!!

Here’s a little sneak peak…

Knee socks and monogrammed shoes. The cuteness is killing me! See you tomorrow!

Daily happenings

April 7, 2011

It’s been a pretty nice week around here.  Gorgeous weather, no painters and the porta-potty is finally gone from our driveway!  hooray!  Maxwell has been playing hard every day and rolling over and over.  If he doesn’t get that 3rd little nap in, he usually looks like this around 6:15…

All tuckered out…

and ready for bed!

Yesterday Maxwell enjoyed eating some more carrots and getting them all over himself…

And we’ve LOVED having Robert in town all week!  We love Dad!

Hope you are all having a good week too!

Look at me!

March 31, 2011

Look at me!  I’m cool like Dad!

Hey!  who turned out the lights?

That’s better!

Now let me show you some of my many faces…most of these are made while I’m grunting, shrieking, and woo-wooing!

Ok, I’m done being cute now…

Done.

Just done.

Ok, one more just for you Momma!

Guess who ate some peas yesterday?!  They’re still not his favorite but at least he didn’t gag like before!  Progress!

Visitors!

March 23, 2011

Earlier this week we had a lunch time visit from Lu Lu and Granddad!  Unfortunately we didn’t get a picture of Lu Lu but we got some good ones of Maxwell and his Granddad…

3 generations of Browns!

Food update – Squash is a hit!  I think he liked them as much as sweet potatoes.  Maybe Maxwell only likes orange foods?  Carrots are this afternoon so we’ll test the theory.  Supernanny Susan also got him to eat bananas.  hooray!  The boy can’t live on sweet potatoes alone!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments
