Happy Birthday Kacee!

I didn't have my camera with me, however, Ben got a shot of Maxwell enjoying some fabulous birthday cake. In case you were wondering the blank stare is because Ben got Max to face the camera by holding a fork full of cake in front of him. It was a fun party but by the end my arm was KILLING me. This kid needs to learn to walk asap! Since I am kind of on the topic of walking Max has been having physical therapy more often. He has it about once a week at the house. They added more days because we are going to be working on speech and motor skills now. Maybe today after Sooner Start comes out I will have more to report. As always, until next time!

Oh what a b-e-a-utiful day!

There was so much to do today and a ton of fun to be had. We had a very fun play date at the Jaggi's. The kids played outside and Ben brought over the jump. Also all the kids enjoyed dinner outside (thanks Ashlee for the happy meals!). The other kiddos are still running circles around Max but he is trying to catch up.

Here is a video for you all to see how Max is starting to progress. He is finally showing some semblance of wanting to walk, just a little. And with a little help and encouragement this is the result.

Easter Sunday

Easter has come and gone again. This was our first year to get to dye eggs. Maybe it was still a little to early seeing as how we started with 8 eggs and ended with 4. You live and you learn. You could tell that Max got more into Easter this year than he did last. The basket was like a treasure chest of goodies. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Andrea took Max to church on Sunday and to Andrea's parents house for lunch. There was an Easter egg hunt at their church and he loved it. I know there are a ton of pictures but I couldn't help it.

Lots to talk about today.

As some of you may remember I have been getting into sewing and crafting lately. My newest creation isn't really something for sale and it isn't like I invented the pajama pants, but it is the first time for me to use a pattern since Home Ec in 6th grade. My mom gave me some pointers like how to get more out of my fabric and how to meassure the bias line. I have found that sewing and crafting is quite relaxing. These aren't for sale, but to see any of my other stuff check out the Bambino Bazaar blog.

Maxwell has a new trick.

Max has learned to climb on the couch now. It is so adorable and he is getting pretty good. He is getting faster and faster. What is even better is that if Max thinks your about to pull him down his cute little butt squirm up the couch like a dog is chasing him. I have said it before and I'll say it again, I sure do love this kid!

Evel Knievel!

So the family was out sick this week, as usual. I'm now getting over and ear infection and Max is getting over bronchitis. While I was at work on Sunday Jeff calls me (which rarely happens). He tells me that Max fell out of the bed. I flipped! My son climbed out of his bed and fell between his crib and the wall. Jeff said that he heard a thud and then screaming. Little guy has a bruise on the side of his head with a cut and a bruise that goes from his eye to the side of his mouth. When your baby is hurt you tend to exaggerate everything in your head but really we are lucky that nothing worse happened because he easily could have broken something. I'll add a picture once I get home today.

Bambino Bazaar

Some of you may have know already but I have started a new side business. It will let me show my creative side and hopefully people will love it. It's called Bambino Bazaar. I have a blog through blogger and I am selling my items on etsy. I don't have any items posted yet but hopefully over my days off I will get that done. Wish me luck on this adventure.

The Zoolander!

I asked Max to strike a pose and this is the vogue that he picked . Just call him Maxwell Zoolander Brown from now on. I took these pictures over my days off when it was still cold.

Also this is Maxwell's version of thug life. He is such a versatile test subject. Willing and unwillingly it doesn't matter.

Well Baby Dentist Visit

Max had his well baby dentist appointment on Tuesday. We heard basically the same thing. Make sure he is brushing twice a day and he is showing dental delay. Dr Strange thinks that Max should be cutting two of his molars and two more teeth on top. The doctor also said to start saving for the whole shabang for braces. He thinks the process will need to start when Max is about 7. As usual Max was pretty well behaved. He even reached out to the doctor and forced him to hold him, but I don't think the doctor minded much.

Mommy and Max take on Texas!

Max and Granny on the train. He was a good boy on the train. He started to get cranky the last 45 minutes, but even that wasn't bad.

Uncle Brian watched Max while all the girls went for pedicures. We came back to this adorable picture of Max taking a nap on Uncle Brian.

This is Max with my sister and Saddie. He didn't stop laughing at the dog the entire time. If I could have I would have packed her in my bag for Maxwell to keep forever.

I was supposed to go on a girls weekend with my mom, sister and sister in laws to Canton Texas for shopping and fun. Things happened and plans changed. I decided that since I already had my time covered at work that I would go ahead for a visit with my sister and bring Max. He is such a good boy! We took the train and my mom came with us too. I was a good time just relaxing. I love spending time with my sister whenever possible!
