Not in the mood for pictures.
Attacked by the drying rack

Max loves a good book.
First time sleeping without a burrito...
Not a complete success.
He makes this face A LOT!

Making a mess... with no pants on.

Day to Day Posts!

Since I am awful at blogging (which I have been told on several occasions) I have decided to try a different method. I'm hoping that this will make it easier and less time consuming for me which will hopefully result in me posting more regularly, which is better for everyone else. Since October I have been keeping a journal for each of the babies. I have been jotting down a little note when something new or something funny happens. Since I am a much faster typer than writer (and I have an irrational fear of something happening to the notebooks) I have recently switched to computerized journaling. I have typed up all of the past entries and have continued to post new entries on their blogs. You can find this under the "Day to Day" link. Just to warn you, these entries are written to the babies, not to you... and I find even the most trivial things of utmost importance when it comes to my kids. You may not find everything as fascinating as I do, but feel free to read it if you'd like! 
By posting everything they are doing on an almost daily basis on the day to day page, I am planning on only posting pictures on this page. Hopefully this works and everyone who follows these adorable babies will be happier! 

Long Long LONG overdue!

I have nothing to say for myself.

Max is now a whopping FIVE MONTHS old and I haven't posted in three months.


I'm hoping that this amazingly adorable photo will somewhat make up for my neglectfulness?!?!

If not... here is a quick recap of the past three months of Max's life.
It's only half of his life... no big deal right?!?!

Max is a VERY smiley baby. His smiles are to die for! Once he figures out the effect his smile has on people the world is going to be in serious trouble!


Max and Tucker have become serious friends.
Some might even say "great buddies."
Tuck thinks it is just fantastic that Max plays with him now... unfortunately though Max has a very impressively strong grip and has a habit of grabbing onto anything he can get his chubby little hands on. This includes Tucker's fur and toys. Something that Tucker is not overly thrilled about.



He's beginning to realize that having a sister has it's advantages...

like always having someone to play with...
(he is holding himself upright! crazy!!)
to share your hands with...
to hang out with...
and to attack.
(yes, he is eating her foot & pulling her bow over her eyes)

It also has it's disadvantages...

like being wrapped in a pink blanket...
there wouldn't be anything pink in the house if there wasn't a little sister :)

Max is such a stud he can pull off ANYTHING!
See for yourself!

Thanks for the CUTE ears Sammi!

Max is loving his toys now. He especially loves his Jeep walker!
He enjoys honking the horn with his face and running over poor innocent puppies.
Tucker has been his victim on multiple occasions. Poor guy!
He also enjoys the occasional plastic spatula.


Daddy shaved off Max's baby mullet on October 4th.
It was a big day for our little man...
he seemed to have mixed emotions about parting with his first newborn hairs.

Max mastered rolling over on October 18th.
Now it is impossible to keep him on his stomach.
He has also taken up scooting, so you can put him in one position on his stomach and find him facing the opposite way on his back! He is going to mobile very soon!


Max has THE MOST ADORABLE laugh I have ever heard.
In fact he just makes the cutest noises period and lots of them!

And that's just a little about baby Max! And it only took me three days to finish this post
and I can give you 2 solid reasons for why it did :)


2 Months already!?!?

Max is growing so fast! It's incredible just how much he has learned in the last two months. He is becoming the sweetest little boy and we are having so much fun watching him grow.

A little about our sweet Max:

He has learned to smile! He has been smiling for a few weeks now but up until recently he was surprisingly stingy with them... we were up to the challenge but it's wonderful that he now thinks almost everything warrants one of his precious smiles! They will honestly melt your heart!



He has also recently learned to laugh. We're still waiting for a "real" laugh but we've been privileged enough to hear his "I'm slightly amused" one.

Max and his daddy have a really fun game that they play together. Max will occasionally humor someone else's attempt to play... but his heart just really isn't into the game unless he's playing with Dad. Awhile ago Max started roaring at us. Not only did this inspire his Halloween costume (a dinosaur) but it became quite the game. Jason will roar and Max will roar back. Yep. That's the game. Not much to it but it really doesn't take much to entertain a two month old... and his dad :)

He got his 2 month shots and he was very very brave. He just cried for a second and then (being the overly prepared mother I am... just kidding I just know him really well) I promptly placed his bottle in his mouth and all was forgotten, for a moment anyway. Unfortunately the following week did not go as smoothly and Max transformed into what was possibly be the most difficult baby alive. One week later he instantly returned to the sweet baby we all know and love. Needless to say, we are very much looking forward to his next round of shots.

Being a big brother has not been as difficult as Max had suspected it would be. Since Zoey is so chill and is happy, sometimes even prefers, to be in her swing or bouncer, he still gets (and still demands) everyone's attention ALL THE TIME! Good thing he is the cutest baby boy alive!! So we don't mind too much. :)

Max weighed 11 pounds 8 ounces at his two month checkup and is now 23.3 inches long. BIG baby!!

We just love our little boy so much!

And now for way too many pictures!
There are just so many ADORABLE ones I find it impossible to leave hardly any out!

Big Brother

Our little man became a BIG brother on August 19th at the ripe old age of 7 weeks.


As you can see... he's pretty thrilled about the idea.

You can meet his little sister Zoey at ourlittlemiracle-zoey.blogspot.com
