Hiking

 So we went for a nice hike today up where I like to go running. Max was a champ. Although slightly oblivious to the steep mountainside to his left, he ran the trail. 

 Who loves his hat?

 Some minor setbacks....

We found this beautiful 'oasis' at the end of a new trail....

Spa-worthy shower

So I hope all these pictures show the sweat and toll that has happened over the last 4 months....It was alot of learning, fixing, refixing, even now....please never ask me tile your bathroom. Although it would end up looking like this. So maybe you should.



Mother's Day 2012

Here are some spots from Mother's Day.  Max seemed to know exactly what was up. He slept until 8:45, snuggled with mom, played in the park and then went to sleep as soon as I laid him in the crib. Perfection.

Just Pictures

Just wanted to post some pics of us....Showered Max tonight and then he somehow escaped from his towel and i had to wrestle him to the ground....

 Love this face of my Chullo

 This was me wrestling the naked monster

 Bed time

 Max and I watching our novela this week

This is the Justin Dweeber Haircut...chasing a kid around the shower with scissors in hindsight may not be the smartest thing i've ever done... 

This was Easter...and he had just eaten a bunch of dirt. God made dirt and dirt don't hurt:)

Easter

I'm not sure why this is underlining....but Easter was really fun. Took Max to the AirForce Museum Easter Egg Hunt and it was great - if not super fast:) But Max got the rhythm really quick of picking up eggs and putting them in his basket.I did attempt to hide eggs in the backyard, but it was a little more difficult...lots of me finding the eggs and shoving them under his nose so he would stay interested.

Max Jumps the Fence

So I've been wondering what to share since I'm horrible at taking pictures and keeping things updated. There have been hints dropped that Max is no longer containable. We now have to lock the doors to the outside or Max is MIA in 10 seconds. He has since escaped from teh bathtub after I thought he was entombed. But tonight Max decided he needed to do something so audacious that I would have to post it. So I put Max in his crib while I picked up the room and then I hear a 'plunk' on the ground and I look over and Max is standing on the ground like nobodies business. So I didn't believe it. I mean who just up and decides bars can't hold you right? So I put him back in the crib and laid on the bed to see if he would boldly attempt to go where no not-yet-14 month old should go....The proof is in the certified, undoctored footage below.

Little Christmas Cheer
