Pringles

Earlier today the lady who usually does my hair called and asked if I would be able to take her little boys' pictures. In exchange for me waiving my sitting fee she was going to do my hair and makeup for free for my wedding. I thought, great deal!! So I went home and got all of my stuff set up and...she called and cancelled

So I plopped Max down and took some pictures of him. I haven't taken the time to get any of him in a while. He still won't look at me when I want him to, but he is getting better. Oh and I used Mr. Wolfie to help me get my settings right, lol. Here are a few:
Sweet Boy



Something's obviously funny!

I didn't notice that there was something on the front of my lense until after, so it's a soft focus!

Read a book

Bribery with a pringle

Yummy!

Thanks Mr. Wolfie for helping me get my settings right!

Little Tux!

I tried Max's tux for the wedding on him. Can you say SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!!!

 
 
  

A teensy bit of unabashed bragging!

Max has really suprised me lately! I bought some alphabet flashcards the other day from PBK's and I've been going through them with him. Today he was repeating some of the letters back to me and he would hold them and I would ask what they were and he would say the letter.
In his animal books he can tell me what almost every animal in that particular book is.
And right now, Curt is throwing different color balls across the room and telling him to get a particular color ball and he is getting the right one.

*swoon* my little man is growing up and I couldn't be prouder!! It makes me tear up to think about how little and dependent he was just a year ago!

Carefree

You are young my son and you have not a worry in the world.

As you grow I hope that your life is as carefree as the days when you ran circles around the dog...just because it was fun at the time

Life is about having fun and welcoming each moment as it comes

Be carefree

Fly when you feel like it

You can be anything

Take your world in your hands

Love yourself cause you are beautiful and full of life

Make jokes and laugh often

Don't be afraid to be afraid of something

Know your limits and how far you can push them

Your life is what you make it and my wish for you is that it remains as carefree as you were today


My little Max Max, I love you!!!

Daily Reading

Max has aquired quite the book collection in the past few months. But the boy LOVES his books!
 
  

His Space

So yesterday I decided to give the boy his own space. A place where all his toys could gather and hopefully stay out from under my feet. I think the area turned out nice and the best part is that I can see him while I work on the computer.

I would like to try and build him a table and chair set. I want to paint it with an under the sea theme or jungle animals! Hopefully that will be a project I could finish by Christmas.

Swan Bites

Max and I spent the day in Cincinnati yesterday with my best friend Mandy, her sister Jessica and her little girl Brittany. It was such a nice visit! I really hope Mandy moves closer to Kentucky when she moves!! Jess and Brit are moving soon and they are going to be only an hour away! So that's really sweet!
We went to Miami Whitewater Park, where we had some friends who wanted to share our fries.
Brittany, Max and Mandy feeding the swans


I'm pretty sure this is when one of the swans bit Brittany. Poor thing! It scared her so bad! She was through with the swans afer that. She wasn't going anywhere near them.

Showing me her "war-wound"

Ice cream will make any swan bite feel better




Of course, Max had to have ice cream too, lol



Sneaking a drink of Mandy coke. It's so funny because the cup is almost as big as him, lol

Princess Brittany trying on the flowergirl dress she will be wearing in my wedding in a few weeks.

Brittany took this picture of Max. Not a bad job!

Max's Halloween Costume

A Lobster!!!!
I couldn't resist it when I saw it today! Now I just have to find some orange or red pants to go with it. He hates the headpiece, but hopefully he will like it better by Halloween

Perfect

Sometimes I catch myself in complete awe of what Curt and I have created. Such a perfect being, this little boy of ours. Nothing in my life will ever compare to the moment I gave him life. Nothing.

I love this kid!!
This is him dancing to the opening music of the Spiderman movie.

Hot Zoo

We battled the insane heat today to go to the zoo with my sister and her fiance. They came for the weekend so that my sis could help me put on my wedding dress and help with the bridal pictures. It was a lot of fun!

Max walking

Watching the penguins

See, this is why I want the rest of his hair to catch up so I don't have to cut it. He has awesome curls in the back when they are not totally frizzy. But if the rest of his hair doesn't start growing soon, he is going to have one fine mullet, lol!

The rare white alligator

It was so hot that this squirrel was just laying out on the pavement like this. I thought it was dead before we got up closer. I've never seen a squirrel lay like this!

Me being a wimp about some birds

Curt's friend

Gettin' some lovin'

The BEST part of the day. They let us come in a feed the giraffe and pet him. It was so cool! I've been there so many times this past year, and have never been able to do that!





They have such long eyelashes!

Silly giraffe

Bye bye Bo (that's what the lady said his name was)

Back at home with Daddy

MMMM Pizza!

Can someone get me some garlic sauce?!
