A-B-O's

Max has been trying to sing his A-B-C's, which is the cutest thing EVER! Gosh, at every stage in his life I keep saying, this is my favorite stage and then he does something new and I say, "no, THIS is my favorite stage!" It just keeps getting better and better!!
Anyway, we are working on the alphabet and when he sings he has to add the letter "O" in every 3 or 4 letters, lol.
"A-B-C-OOOOH!!!"

"G-H-OOOOH!!!"

"X-OOOOH!!!"

There's some serious cuteness going on in this house right now!

Just some bath and bubble pics!

Thanksgiving 2006

These are pictures from our time in Morehead. We went there on Friday and came back last night. It's always so much fun there and Max just really enjoys himself! He's become quite the Papaw's boy! My dad is by far is most favorite person there! My mom is working on changing that! I had a lot of fun taking pictures of my neice Autumn who is almost 7 months old. She is just SO cute and her personality is really coming out! I love it! I took my baby fairy wings down there and got some pictures with her wearing them!

Sweet Girl

Daddy's Hat is a little big

This is what I miss about not being at home. There are the most amazing sunsets all the time and we used to go out almost every evening with my mom and watch the sun set over the hills. It's a great childhood memory of mine. I'm so happy I was able to capture one

There are lots more photos in my gallery if you are interested. I encourage you to go look at my neices fairy pictures! I can't wait to try them on her wearing just a diaper! And there are lots of pictures of Max on there too!

Morehead Thanksgiving

And here are the pictures from Curt's family's dinner on Thursday
Stucky Thanksgiving

Mine

My Odd Child

We put the Christmas tree up today because we are going to be gone most of Thanksgiving weekend and I love having the tree up soon after Thanksgiving. Anyways, Max was a royal pain while we were setting it up, he busted two bulbs on the lights, he kept taking down the balls everytime I put one in his reach, trying to climb under, the works...BUT there were a couple ornaments that I put up that made me feel better about it all once I saw his reaction to them, lol. He kept trying to eat them like they were candy. He kept asking if he could have a bite, and I didn't really know what he meant, so I said sure. Then he started trying to bite two of the ornaments. It was SO funny, I was trying hard not to laugh because I didn't want him to think it was ok to go around eating ornaments. But I did get a few pics of him trying to eat them,

Day at the Downs

Yesterday Curt's company had all their employees come to Churchill Downs for a day at the races. It was a lot of fun! If you've never been to the Kentucky Derby or Churchhill Downs, you have to go sometime in your life. It's such a great tradition here in Kentucky and always so much fun!! We used to go to the Derby before Max was born. Yesterday was just a regular race day, so we were able to take Max as well. He loved it!! We knew that he would, Kentucky is horse-country and aside from "doggie", "horsie" was one of his very first words. So he was in heaven!!!

We were on the 6th floor, here is Max by the balcony

The middle of the track

What could possibly be making him cry???

Churchhill Charlie, the racetracks mascot, Max didn't care for him one bit!!

Getting tired in the afternoon

Off to sleep for a while in the stroller

Down at the paddock, where they bring the horses through after and before races.

Waiting for the horses to come through

I think I see one Daddy!!

Wow, a horse!

He was amazed!

Playing with the table numbers

Trying not to pose with Mommy

One of my winning horses, I thought the name was HILARIOUS!!!

Watching a race

This is fun!!

The money! We actually came out ahead as far as winning money. We didn't bet on any horses, but every race we did a drawing for the "comeback horse". That's the horse that comes back across the finish line after the race is over. We put a dollar in the pool and then draw a horse. Whosever horse is the comeback horse they win the pot! I won four times and Curt won once!! It was so cool!!

Fishies

Here are a few pictures I took last night. Curt and Max were checking out the fishtank and I thought it was a cute moment.

He kept asking for Nemo




Giving the fish a kiss

Mommy, do you see the fish too?

First Major Boo-Boo

Max had his first major boo-boo tonight. He was running around being silly when he slipped and fell into the bottom of the computer chair. He has a little puncture and a knot instantly appeared. It looks terrible! It was almost 10 o'clock when it happened, so it's kinda hard to keep him awake now like I've heard you are supposed to do with a head injury. Here is a picture I took right after it happened. Is this typical for a goose egg bump? This is our first time dealing with something like this. It looks so bad in real life.

I kept him awake for an hour, I'll try to check him throughout the night. Poor little guy!

Just in case you're all out of ideas on what to get Max for Christmas, here is the coolest thing since sliced bread,

How sweet is that?? Man I wish I were a kid again sometimes!!
