MDO Outtakes

I went yesterday and did a test setup at Max's MDO program. I will be taking the real pictures starting next week. I used Max and Curt's nephew James as the model children. These are some of the outtakes from Max's shoot. Curt's sister Andrea came to help. She is coming next week to help too. She is really good at making the kid's smile. The whole time she was working with Max he kept saying to her and laughing, "You're funny!!!" It was pretty cute!






Super Cheesy Face

Not sure what this look is about, it's like he is trying to model or somthing

He kept trying to attack me with the flower, "I'm Gonna Getchuuuuu!!!"

Calm

Max Videos

I sold our sony digital camera to Curt's sister Andrea. It was the camera we used for video. It wasn't great quality, but we got some cute video clips out of it. I feel sad that I'm not going to be able to get video on Max for a while. A digital video camera is next on my list for sure. I was going through some of the videos of him today. I wanted to share few of my favorites.

This was taken last month sometime. One of his favorite things to do is watch videos on the computer. His most favorite video in the "manha manha", an old muppet show clip. Here he is watching it,


Just a cute funny video. Again, I think it was taken in early January or late December. It's just a random video, no real point to it really lol.


This is one from last summer. I don't even remember this. It's really funny how he keeps crying randomly. Our baby has changed so much! I can't believe how grown up he seems to me now

Late Night Sledding

I know that the rest of the country has been getting lots of snow and I probably have sounded like a whiner for complaining about our lack of it. BUT yesterday evening it started snowing here and by 9:30 we had a couple inches. Today it was supposed to warm up and melt, so Curt and I decided that when an opportunity presents itself, we should take it. So we bundled up the boy and went sledding...at 10 o'clock We went to a popular sledding place which is a golf course and it's lit partially so we could see where we were actually sledding. There were several other people there with their kids as well, I guess we weren't the only crazy ones, hehe. Max LOVED going down the hills!! He giggled the whole way! We didn't stay too long, but we were able to go down the big hill a few times. It was SO worth it!!
Oh, and all these pics were taken with my old faithful Sony camera. Didn't want to take my canon sledding ya know, lol.
Max getting ready, all his layers before the snowsuit

Even though his face looks unenthused, I swear he was having fun, lol

We had a hard time getting him to keep his gloves on



Coming back up after going down the big hill

Being pulled back to the truck

Red cheeks


I'm sure you are all thinking that Max has some crazy parents for taken him sledding at night, lol

Happy Valentine's Day

Sorry! I've been slacking lately when it comes to keeping up with Max's blog. Things have been really busy. Hopefully I'll get back to posting regularly soon!!
But for now, here are some pictures from Max's Mother's Day Out Valentine's Party. They had Ronald McDonald come and do a magic show. It was really cute! Max didn't care too much for him, but it was still cute. Then they all went back to their classrooms and had lunch! It was a fun day!

Our Snow Day!!!

We didn't get much snow, but enough to satisfy my snow craving, lol. We are supposed to get another inch tomorrow, so hopefully some of it will stick around till Saturday so Curt can come play in the snow with Max too. Max really liked the snow, although, he wasn't quite sure of what to do with it at first. So he used he's usual rule for things he's not sure about...he ate it, lol.

Getting ready to go out. Not thrilled with the gazillion layers he had to wear

Mom, it's cold, do you realize that?


What am I supposed to do with this?


I guess now's a good time to tell him about the "yellow snow" rule, lol

Finger lickin' good!

I think I'm going to go on a snow diet this stuff is so yummy!

Ok...that's when I had to stop him from tasting the snow. No eating snow off the truck...we have some standards, lol.

His sled that he got for Christmas

He's trying to get out of it here but he couldn't because he had too many clothes on, hehe

Mom, would you put the camera away and help me?


More pictures to come later this weekend IF we get more snow!! Hopefully there is a snowman in our future!!!

Future Picaso

I finally let Max paint. I've been nervous to try it because he stills tries to put stuff in his mouth all the time. But he was super bored yesterday and I had been working on getting two picture books ready for someone, so I felt guilty for being so preoccupied. I got the paint out that I had used to paint my belly for Halloween when I was pregnant, lol. I need to go get some kid paint now I think. He did really great with it and kept it on the paper for the most part. I will definitely try it again!


Not quite the exact shade or bluey-orange he was trying to accomplish,

That looks more like it

Ahh Yes,

A genius at work


Look at those exquisite brush strokes!

I wonder where he gets his artistic inspirations from

Using the other hand, it's a new impressionist technique

Get your colors mixed just right.

This had a little bit of everything

All done
