Firsts

This weekend I have enjoyed several firsts that I thought I would share. My cousin Sydney came over Friday night and we had our first sleepover. It was a great time. After she woke up, Syd insisted that she hold me and we watched Care Bears in Mom's bed. Doesn't she have great morning hair? I aspire to have that much hair someday...


My other first happened this morning. After my morning nap I woke up to a beautifully sunny day. Mom packed me up in the stroller and surprised me with a trip to the park. Hardly my first trip to the park but now I get what makes parks so great....playgrounds! I had my first ride on the swing. It was love at first take off!

Two firsts and I've barely started my weekend! I'm on a roll. Maybe I can talk Mom into my first nunchucks?!

Erruption

Poor me. My second tooth errupted through my gums last night. I was sucking away at my gums yesterday and when I woke up this morning...there it was! I'm up to a total of 2 teeth right now. "What's the use?", I ask. I go through all this pain and my mom still feeds me pureed everything. What does a guy have to do to get a steak around here?

Today Mom and I are having a quiet day. I woke up several times early this morning. Mom finally let me stay in bed with her at 6:00. I slept for 5 minutes or so, just to get Mom off my case. Then, when her breathing slowed, I started reaching around for goodies. I found...nursing pads. Oh, they make this wonderful crinkly sound and smell like mom and food! Could there be a more glorious combination? Well, she caught on pretty quickly and soon enough I found myelf on the changing table getting ready for the day.

Hope you all enjoy a wonderful day!

Max Takes Over

Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Max and I'm the baby my mom keeps blabbering on about. I decided since I'm nearly 6 months old and my mom is a busy lady that it's time I took this blog over. I may not be the mother of Max, I'm even better....I'm the man himself! Anarchy!

I'm a pretty busy guy myself. I like to roll around, grab at stuff, babble, cool stuff like that. You know, it keeps the ladies ooohing and aahing so what can I say? I'm the man.

My mom likes to do annoying things like hold onto me tightly. I keep bucking away and throwing myself in the opposite direction to show her I'm my own man and can handle this on my own. She mutters something about me having "delusions of grandy jury." I'm not sure what that means. I think she's just jealous of my physical prowress!

I've recently started eating solid foods. I enjoy sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, apples, and apricots. Mom fed me some sweet peas for lunch today. I wasn't sure how to eject them from my mouth so instead I grabbed the tablecloth and wiped my mouth out. Trust me, the tablecloth tasted a lot better than those green vegetables.

During the week I like to split my time between my house and Nana's. She watches me 3-4 days a week while my parents go to work to pay for my toy habit. It's ridiculous, people. I act as though I might enjoy a particular activity. Let's say jumping. My crazy parents go out and buy the largest most expensive jumping toy they can find. In this case a jumperoo. I'm now up to a jumperoo, swing, exersaucer, 2 bouncy seats, a Bumboo...the list goes on. Although I suspect they're wising up to me since they've been buying stuff off of Craigslist. Anyway, my master plan to take over the house is progressing well.

My parents kindly hired a contractor to remodel the basement as part of my square footage domination plans. Mike is building me a family room, bathroom and a bedroom down there. There's also some room they call the laundry room. I don't have much interest in that one other than it allows my servants to launder my clothes and bed linens.

Alas, this is all that I have to share for now. It's my nap time!
