G.I. Max

Robert asked for more videos, but I told him that Max wasn't doing anything interesting. Now I'm not saying that this is interesting but Max is crawling, sort of.

real food

Max had his first bit of cereal today. He has been wanting food for awhile now but we wanted to wait till he was six months. No your math is not wrong he is not six months yet, but when he had his check up today he had only gained a little over 100 grams so real food is on the menu.

he did manage to get some in his mouth
and this last picture is when the cereal was gone

so so…

so so suck your toe…

you know how the rest of it goes.

it's official

Maximilian is a Citizen of the United States of America and Canada.

we got his CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) and Passport in the mail so that makes it official.

here is a photo to commemorate this occasion.

reenactment

Max and I where sitting at the computer and Max was playing with his turtle. I heard him sucking on something and looked down and he had the turtle's head in his mouth and was sucking on it like a binkie. I turned on the iChat camera and took a photo but the resulting image was only 640x480px and was really grainy. So today we did a reenactment and I think the resulting image is just as priceless as the original.

rollover

On friday Max rolled over by himself for the first time. It took him a while at first time but now he can do it in a matter of seconds.

Achoo!

getting hungry

I just figured it was time for more pictures of Max. He is starting to grab at things and bring them to his mouth. So when I saw him trying to eat his monkey I grabbed my camera and took some photos. Enjoy.

Warm Weather Walk

The mercury was rising so we decided to get up, get out and go for a walk in the woods. So I guess that would make it a warm weather walk in the wood without wearing wooly winter wear. :)

The walk wasn't long but Max was completely exhausted by the end.

this is Max in his new hat. 
about half way through the walk he started getting fussy.
so we just took a few photos of him and mom and then continued the loop.
Max all tuckered out.

Baby Swap

For Easter we went to Aunt Karen's house for dinner, to hang out with the fam and meet Ayden. Ayden is Amanda's youngest son (Amanda is Carrie's Cousin). 

Dinner was fantastic, as was the company, as usual. 

Before dinner Carrie and Amanda sat down to hold each others baby. The difference between the two is astounding. Ayden is so tiny. I don't think there is a full month between them in age, but Max is easily double Ayden's size.
