Acorns

October 12, 2011

A few more pictures from the yard last week…I took a lot!  🙂

It is no secret that Maxwell loves to put everything in his mouth.  Guess we can add acorns to that list too!

He saw the acorn…

examined it…

and, of course, put it in his mouth…

I then told him, “No sir. We do not put acorns in our mouth.”  All that did was make him laugh…

My little stinker.  And don’t worry, I was watching him closely and as soon as it actually went into his mouth I put down the camera and acted like a good momma!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Tuesday

October 11, 2011

Not much going on this week.  Trying to stay low-key as we get ready for some upcoming fun travels.  Maxwell is just a treat these days.  I sometimes find myself just laughing out loud while I’m watching him playing.  The only downside of all of this is that he’s so intently focused on whatever he’s playing with, he can’t be bothered to look at my camera and give me any good smiles!

Last week we played outside and the grass was clearly WAY more interesting than my camera…

and his truck was WAY more fun than my camera…

But then…

He found a leaf.

And he REALLY wanted to show it off for my camera…

Smiles galore!

Oh Happy Boy!

His smiles sure do make me happy!  🙂  But so do serious faces like this…

My sweet little buddy.  I’m off to eat him up now…

Weekend recap

October 10, 2011

Happy Monday all!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Our was good.  Robert cooked me a fantastic dinner for my birthday on Friday.  Maxwell even got in on the celebration too and enjoyed some of Robert’s leftover my birthday cake…

On Saturday Robert got Maxwell dressed and out he came in these hilarious squeaker Alabama shoes.  They were a gift last Christmas from Jenny and Ronnie and I didn’t think they fit yet but they did…and they are funny.

Want to see and hear the squeak in action?  Of course you do!  Here you go!

Robert got to go to the game Saturday night so Maxwell and I stayed home and kicked it on the couch together…

Sunday morning Maxwell played with ALL of his toys..

and then accompanied us on a trip to Home Depot where he helped Robert pick out a leaf blower/vaccum.

Maxwell was quick to point out which one was best…

and was very happy when Robert picked the right one!

Maxwell then helped us gather up some mums…

So we could make our front steps look like fall.  Success!

Great weekend all around!

You say it’s your birthday?

October 7, 2011

It’s my birthday too!

Happy Birthday to me!  The big 33.  I think you should get to celebrate extra big on your dual number birthdays so I plan to do just that. What am I going to do?  Hang out with this little guy, of course…

I sure am a lucky girl to get to spend my birthday with him and Robert!

And if I’m really lucky maybe I’ll get a piece of cake! (leftover from Robert’s birthday, of course!)  🙂

Hope you all have a great weekend!  I know I will!

Balloons and cake!

October 6, 2011

First, I am happy to report that Maxwell is feeling much, much better.  I think we’ve turned the corner and have our happy little guy back!  thank goodness!

Second, we had a rip-roaring, throw-down of a party for Robert’s birthday on Tuesday.  Not really.  We did have balloons, tacos and cake though!  What more could a 35 year old ask for?

I still had some helium leftover from Maxwell’s birthday so I decided to make things a little festive for Robert. When Maxwell saw the balloons I blew up for Dad, he had to have one himself…

Balloons and babies are just fun together!

I don’t think Robert really cared about his balloons, but he did like his cake!

I hope he thought it was a good birthday. And I also hope whatever he wished for comes true!

Considering he scored some box seats for the AL game this weekend, I think his wish might have worked!  🙂
