Stickers!!

Max was sitting at the table like such a big boy today I felt like we needed to do something constructive with the time. I pulled out a blank file folder and a pack of safari animals stickers I got on the dollar rack at target. This was Max's first experience with stickers and he did really well with them. I pulled them off and handed them to him. He put them on the folder. We talked about the noises the animals made and I showed him sometimes where to place them! It kept him busy for probably 10-15 minutes. Not bad focus for a 2 year old!

Brotherly love

Testing out my email feature with a picture of the boys playing. It may be blurry- taken from my phone. But I love these moments of my boys interacting!

Max is 2!!!!

And evidently this is how a 2 year old rolls.......

Not at all sitting still anymore for the chair pics!!!

But the boy knew how to rip into a Birthday present (disregard the christmas wrapping paper)

My car/truck/train lover is now a geotrax boy!!!

He and daddy had so much fun putting it together. It's still a huge hit- he runs straight to it every morning!!!

It's been a busy few days so I got behind on the blog!!! His birthday was saturday. On friday when granny, grandma, and pawpaw were here they did presents (a lot of cars) and cake. We did chair pictures saturday morning and he opened his geotrax. On sunday he had an ice cream cake down at granny's. Monday we had dinner with our friends and opened presents for the 2 boys (Max's friend D turned 2 just a few weeks ago). Tuesday all the first cousins on my side were over and grandpa came up and grandma was here and we had dinner, cupcakes and more presents!!! Today, we're staying home all day. Momma's exhausted!!!

Happy Birthday Bubby!!!

Bubby Max-

I cannot believe you're 2 years old!!! These past 2 years have been fun, exciting and hard all at the same time!! Its amazing watching you grow and develop!! Its so neat to see your little personality shine!!!

Everyone said you looked just like your Daddy, but now everyone says you look just like Mommy!!!

I love your blonde hair and curls!! I love your daredevil spirit- even though it scares the bejeebers out of me!!

I love that your first word was truck and how you get excited when you see construction workers!!! Everyone at church thinks its precious how you cry and whine as we head towards the nursery but go in on your own free will and play SO well!!

You get so excited when you see all your cousins and love to play and chase them!!

You love your little brother- you make him give his belly laugh and hug him whenever you can!!

You know when you're testing your boundaries with us and have your Daddy's silly grin when getting into trouble!!

You share your Daddy's love of Pop Tarts and Mommy's love of television!!!

You play with cars morning till night (and I swear sometimes in your sleep)!!

It was tough when Mommy was pregnant with little brother and I couldn't carry you and was sick and had no energy! That may have been the hardest time of my life. But now I love to get down on the floor with you and Jake and play and get attacked with kisses and hugs!!!

I pray for you everyday!! I'll pray you'll grow up knowing God and loving Jesus! I pray that you and Jake will be the best of friends!!!

You are such a big boy now - but you'll always be my firstborn, my baby, my Bubby Max! Mommy and Daddy love you now and forever!!!



Love,

Mommy

6 months old!!!

Look at the big boy!!!

He's weighing in at 16 1/2 lbs and 27 inches tall!!!

Does this look like a kid that got 6 shots today???

Took them like a champ I tell ya!!!

We thought we'd try something new for the chair pics this time...since I'm not sure if both boys will fit in one chair!!!

Then we moved the chairs to in front of the TV for some more pictures.....


they are just fascinated with each other!!!

I hope they become best of friends!!!


And just so you can see- our favorite movie right now.... Cars.

Ca- chow!!!
