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!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

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!

Sunglasses round 2

March 22, 2011

On Sunday when my mom and I were working in the yard, Robert and Maxwell came out to keep us company.  It was bright and sunny so the sunglasses were a must to keep the squinting away!

Too bad Robert was squinting!  He needed his sunglasses too…

But he’s still pretty cute, squinting or not!

Can you find me in the picture?

You can see me even better here…

Cute baby boy.

Food update!  Surprisingly, bananas and apples are still a maybe.  Not as good as sweet potatoes but definitely better than the pears!  Peas weren’t that big of a hit either.  We might have a picky eater on our hands!  I’m not too worried though – if he’s anything like his momma he’ll come around and love just about any food…except mushrooms.  yuck.

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments
