Happy Birthday Max

Max turned 1 yesterday! Happy birthday buddy! I can't believe another year has passed. We are out of the baby phase and officially into toddlerhood. It's hard to believe we will have no more babies.
Max has been sick this week with fever and the yuck but he managed through his party last night. We had a Fiesta theme with fajitas, quesadillas, black bean salsa, and queso, Sombreros and marachas! It was delicious. He loves his presents and was glad to be able to share his special day with his family and great aunts! The boys had their well checks today. Max weighed in at 18lbs 12 oz (4%) 28.8in tall. Noah weighed in at 29.4lbs and 34.8in. Max is almost as tall as Noah!

Good morning birthday boy!

I think he likes it.

More cake please

Oh ya this feels good in my fingers

the video of the night....excuse all the cussing but my family thinks it is appropriate to get Noah to say "Damn it" again.....they did not win

Meeting the Aunts

Jason's aunts are in town for the week from Pittsburgh and California. They are so much fun and we are so glad the kids got to meet them. We had dinner with them Saturday night. Lots of great food and the kids were exhausted by the time we left.

Wine and Cheese before dinner.

Playing outside

Finally a weekend the weather was phenomenal.....We played outside all day Saturday.

Playdough and bubbles. Doesn't get any more fun than that.....

Except for the new Sand and Water Table we gave Max for his birthday. We moved outside (sunday) and filled it with water...fun, fun!

Ahhh the blessing of a Parrot

So Noah has been picking up some bad habits from Daddy (ok, mommy too - probably more from Mommy than Daddy but that is beside the point). Last night we sat down for dinner, I gave Noah a spoon hoping to help him scoop up his corn as opposed to a fork. I watched him struggle with one spoonful he got it up to his lips and the corn fell off. He tried again. On the third try he put his spoon down, sighed and said "I need a fork Damn It!". It was the funniest thing I think I have ever heard my little parrot say.....I was impressed he used it in the correct context. It took everything I had not to laugh. I got up from the table, mentioned that was a bad word (as he repeats, ya that's a bad word) and got him his fork. Oh how I love him!

FLASHER

HEY WHO'S THAT IN THE WINDOW.....Noah has become a challenge to get dressed for bedtime

Bring out the tent

Max didn't know we had a tent. We decided it was time for something new to play with and although it takes up half our living room the boys had a blast.



Daddy had fun too
