First Haircut. . .

Our little guy was starting to get a little scruffy!  His hair was getting so long! It would get soaked with sweat after his sprints around the house.  So we decided today was the day.  I was pretty sad to see those cute curls go.
 So was Max. . . .
  Then he decided maybe it was okay. . . .especially since he got his first sucker!
 I think it turned out pretty cute.  We all survived. . . .it's pretty short, but it will eventually grow back right?


Max the organizer. . .


Max is so funny.  His new obsession is his cars and trucks.  He has to have one in each hand when he goes to bed or has a nap.  He almost always has one on his tray when he eats.  And you are guaranteed to trip on at least one when you walk anywhere in our house.  His latest thing to do is organize then in the windowsill by our front door.  It is so cute.  He will stand there and arrange them.  He is really into sorting and organizing.  Pretty funny for a one year old!

What's been going on.....

It's been awhile since I have really blogged, so here's a few of the highlights:
Max loves the pool, and he especially loves to splash! We are trying to get him ready for the lake this summer. . .and this pool is pretty chilly so I think the lake water will be a breeze for him!
I have started playing tennis again! Hooray!! I have missed it so much. I will be playing on two league teams starting on the 16th. I'm so excited to play again, it will be so fun!
Don't worry we left the horses at home. . . . only in Idaho

We had a really fun Easter this year. On Saturday our ward had a breakfast and an Easter egg hunt. Max wasn't so sure about it. He ended up with two eggs. Better luck next year! We celebrated Easter Sunday with McRay and Dawn and their cute family. Dinner was delicious! And Max discovered Reese's. . .which he loved!
The biggest highlight for Jeff was the purchase of the firetruck. Yep that's right, we own a firetruck. Never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth. It is going to be our advertising vehicle for the office, but really I think Jeff is living his childhood dream. I do have to say it is pretty cute!
The biggest highlight for all of us is Max is officially walking!! He has been taking steps here and there for a few weeks, but just this week he has really taken off. He is so proud of himself. He gets so excited and claps for himself. It is so fun to watch this little guy grow!

Max is 1!

How did this happen so fast! My baby is now 1! Looking at these pictures I can't believe his thighs were ever so thin! He's not a sweet little baby anymore. . . .a toddler that never stops moving and has lots of opinions! He has grown so much and has developed such a fun personality. This past year has definitely had its ups and downs but really has been so great! We love this little guy even more than I could have ever imagined!
We had a few birthday celebrations for Max. First he got to celebrate with his Bryson Cousins. This was his first taste of cake, and oh did he love it!! He was concentrating pretty hard to get every little bit in his mouth.
Then we headed to Rigby to have a party with his all his Grandparents and more cousins. Unfortunately Max was a bit of a bear. . .he had a pretty rough day and was pretty grumpy for the party, but everyone else had fun! Here's his Cookie Monster Cake:
We had so much fun! All of his Grandparents and Great-Grandparents were able to be there. He is such a loved little boy! We sure love our little Max!

This face. . .

Isn't this just hilarious! Max does this face whenever he is trying to make us laugh, and it works everytime. He thinks its pretty funny. I couldn't not share.

11 Months

Oh my goodness! I can't believe on one month until we have a 1 year old. It's true what everyone says, that it really just goes so fast! Max has changed so much this last month, I think I say that every month. . .
His little presonality is really developing. He is such a tease and gets a little shy when strangers try to talk to him. He is always trying to get peoples attention in the store but as soon as they acknowledge him he grins and turns his head away. Then as soon as they walk away and aren't looking he starts waving. It's really cute.
He also is getting so brave and will stand by himself! But still no steps. He walks really fast when we hold his hands, so I'm afraid once he's walking it won't be long until he's running!
He is loving feeding himself, and still can't get enough to eat. He will pretty much eat anything!

He is recently getting very attached to everything 'Jeff.' He is constantly hauling all of Jeff's beanies around.
This boy LOVES his dad! They play airplanes together all the time. Max loves making cute little sound effects. It's so fun to see him play!He is such a happy little guy! We are so blessed to have him in our family. He brings so much joy and happiness to our home!

January Update

What have we been up to this month. . . .well not much else than the above picture. Children's Dentistry has definitely become Jeff's home away from home. In January it is quite possible that he was actually at the office more than he was at our house. Sad, but true. It's been so busy. Honestly it's all pretty overwhelming. I am doing the books, which is a challenge for me. I would much rather be in someones mouth than punching numbers, but I'm slowly getting it. Jeff is doing so great with the practice and we are so grateful that the practice has been very busy. Lots of kids with cavities in Nampa which is good for us! We are so happy to be in Nampa, it's a major change for our little family but so far so good!
