up to date with Max

Max doing one of his favorite things, sliding.

I just thought this was a nice shot of Max out enjoying the warm weather.

We went out to eat the other day and I got this shot of him before his meal.

Easter Morning

just a quick photo of Max on Easter Morning gathering up his eggs.

Toyota Stroller

We went to the zoo the other day and the accelerator on the stroller got stuck. Max wasn't able to reach the gear lever to shift it into neutral so away he went. Lucky for us thought the stroller has a speed limiter and can't go past 5kph. That combined with the fact that the dry weight of the stroller is less then 14Kg I was able to just reach out and stop it.

Girl

These are some of the first pictures of our daughter.

popsicle

Max, up until today, has not liked popsicles. If you tried to give him one he would run away from it. Very unlike Max, who will normally run up to strangers if there is food involved. Well after having him stick out his tongue to have a lick he decided that he did indeed like it and took the last of the popsicle.



after I stopped filming he started looking around for the bit of popsicle that I had taken out of his mouth because he still wanted to eat it. I had ,however, already eaten it, so all he got to do is lick the empty stick.

renovations

The reno is coming along slow and steady. I will have a before and after pano for the blog once it's finished and I take the after pano :) For now, however, I just wanted to share a quick video. On the wall with the butlers pantry I moved the power outlet up to counter height and then added another outlet. Easy enough when you have wood studded walls, but when the walls are concrete it's gets to be a bit more difficult.

enjoy the video

Moments with Max

Carrie hates doing dishes (thankfully though she still does them, because I hate doing dishes more then just about anything) so she enlisted some help. The dishwasher is coming but I don't think it can get here soon enough.



The other day Max decided he was hungry and since we are redoing the kitchen our cereal is sitting down in the living room. To be honest I didn't think he would get the box open so I didn't take the box away from him. Well as you can see he did get the box open. I'm not sure if he got more in his mouth or on the floor.



Recently Max has started doing head stands, er I guess more like head leans. Anyway it is funny to see and he loves doing it.



Even though Max is gold most of the time he still has his moments of "I will do whatever I want" so he ends up getting into trouble for not listening. Yup that means that it's off to "time out."

Birthday

Last Wednesday Max turned one year old. Here are a few pictures of his birthday celebrations.

Before the party begins


After singing "Happy Birthday" to Max, he decided that instead of blowing out the candle he would use his hand


I don't think it went exactly has he may have planned


After that he got down to the business of eating his cake


This is from his party on saturday. Laura made the cakes and they were delicious

Life Poster

Awhile back (okay so it was 2005 when we did this but that still counts as "awhile") we printed a "Life Poster". We really liked it and have decided to do one for every year (starting with 2009)

We just got it back from the printer and now have it hung on the wall.


here is a close up.

Max on a plane

This picture is just too good not to post.
