Day Two Hundred and Thirty Six

Holding that head up

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Five

Pumpkin- such a source of entertainment!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Four

Signs of spring- first crocuses!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Three

Two finger soother

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Two

Visiting day
Max got to smile and coo to Ally, Ashlyn, Rachel, Barry, Alice, Becky and Tony.  He seemed to enjoy all the attention, while the rest of us had fun eating good food and playing Blurt.


Day Two Hundred and Thirty One

Getting big!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty

Heart cookies for the COW Valentine's Day party. 
I made these in the morning as the boys slept.  It was a nice little break and I had time to reflect on how fortunate I am for my 3 boys and that I'm able to stay home with them. 

Day Two Hundred and Tweny Nine

Max likes to sit up now, usually on our laps. He also likes to grab soft things and stuff them in his mouth.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Seven

Max's 3 month birthday

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Six

Note to followers of this blog:
Life is busier than before, with Max in the mix, so I am not able to take a picture every day. I will continue this blog, though, just adding pictures in the order that I take them. My goal is to have 365 days worth of pictures, but it will take a bit longer than 365 days.

Here are pictures from my seat (middle of back) on Max's first road trip.  The 5 of us packed into our little Ford Focus to visit the Welsches.  It took 2 tries to successfully complete the trip, but it ended up being a wonderful time- both the visit and the car trip.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Three

Excellent wine and cheese from last night's get-together with neighbors. 
It was an easy and fun way to connect with them and beat the winter blahs.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Two

A sign of spring!
(Not from our garden, but at the floral shop in Martins. Still, it's a sign that spring is on its way!) 

Day Two Hundred and Twenty One

Jack holding Max during our nightly family time.  Max fills out Jack's arms more than before. 
(And Jack is a good actor!)

Two Hundred and Twenty

Happy baby- ready for the next adventure!

Two Hundred and Nineteen

He's already making a difference in our lives!  I can only imagine how he'll make a difference in the world as he grows. This onesie was a gift from Gayle, Faye and Annika.

Two Hundred and Eighteen

Max's favorite naptime location
He only takes cat naps if we hang out around the house, but he will sleep for hours if he's in his car seat. 
(In fact, he's sleeping in there right now. Which is why I have time to update this blog!)

Day Two Hundred and Seventeen

Max's ducky outfit
This is a hand-me-down that I think is so funny.  The tag on the front says *Squeeze Me*.  And look at the footy.  This in the only time in life that this guy will be able to wear something like this!

Day Two Hundred and Sixteen

Jack took this picture of Max in his teddy bear bunting.  We all think he looks so cute in it!

Day Two Hundred and Fifteen

Max's first real tears
This seems like a weird thing to post about, but it was so noticeably the first time he had real tears.  Gracie barked loudly when Liam came to the door to see Jack, and the barking startled Max.  He cried, but calmed down as soon as I picked him up.  That's when I noticed the tears.  He was no longer sad when we took the picture. :)

Day Two Hundred and Fourteen

The day after the snow was beautiful! 

Day Two Hundred and Thirteen

Snowy Day
We had fun listening to the *Chocolat* soundtrack and watching the snow fall.

Day Two Hundred and Twelve

Move over teddy bear- the kitty is here!  Kitty is a new favorite of Max's, which he shows by batting and cooing at it.
