The other night, Robert was holding Maxwell when he just started chewing on Robert’s hand. We thought maybe he was beginning to teeth (apparently it can happen this early) but, nope…he just liked the way Dad’s thumb tasted.
Funny, huh?
Books are fun!
Maxwell is just to the age where a book will hold his attention for a few minutes. It’s so fun to sit down and read a book to him and watch his eyes follow the pages and look at all the bright colors. I’m sure he’ll be reading on his own in no time!
Robert and Maxwell enjoying the Wheels on the Bus book…
Oh Christmas Tree!
On Saturday Robert, Maxwell and I went to get our Christmas Tree! Ho Ho Ho! We found a great one and the house smells so good now! The best part of it all? When we got home, Maxwell took a THREE hour nap in his swing giving us a chance to get the tree into the house and completely decorated with time to spare. I guess he was just filled with the spirit of the season. 🙂
At the tree lot…
Our little elf was afraid we were going to put him to work stringing lights when we got home…
He decided the best way to avoid working was to sleep. Fine by me! (sorry for the blurry pic, the swing was swinging!)
Our Christmas tree!
Then, because I’m a dork, I made both of us pose in front of the tree with the baby. Gotta capture the memories! 🙂
If you’re curious after my post Sunday, here is the original and edited versions of the header shot:
Not perfect but I’d rather see some blurry trees than those people! I also took out the cars in the background. Pretty neat!
Quick update
As you can see by the new header, guess who got a Christmas tree?! Ho Ho Ho! Can I tell you how badly I wish those random people weren’t in the background of the photo?!! Oh well. Off to decorate…
Update – attempted to remove the people in the background using photoshop. Definitely not perfect but better! I’ll keep working on it.
A great Thanksgiving
Maxwell had a very nice first Thanksgiving. Robert and I packed up the car and the 3 of us headed down to Montgomery for the night. Maxwell got to meet his Great Aunt Betty and Great Uncle Don for the first time as they drove down from Huntsville. We had quite a feast and lots of good conversation.
Maxwell looking cute in his courdory Thanksgiving outfit…too bad it was 75 degrees that day!
I think he liked his little frog jumper despite the heat…
Hanging with Granddaddy…
and sitting with Lou Lou checking out his very favorite thing in the world, the ceiling fan!
Getting lots of attention as always…
Kicking it with Aunt Betty….
and Uncle Don.
Looking well fed just like we all were that day! 🙂
We stuck around Montgomery on Friday to watch the Iron Bowl – Alabama v. Auburn. While the first half of the game was great, the second half was not so great with a disappointing AL loss by one point. Oh well, there’s always next year!
Game day!
Lou Lou showing Maxwell how to say Roll Tide!
Good friends William and Garman came to watch the game…
and Aunt Mary Beth and Uncle Holland were there too.
I think this is how we all felt during the first half of the game…
and this is how we felt at the end. blah.
Despite the AL loss, it was a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for, especially our happy, smiley, coo-ing little guy!!
