look at that grin!



ooh! a kitty!


I will go get it!


but wait, what's this? TOY!


oh man, toys are hilarious!

there's a lot of concentrating involved in being adorable.


lots.


but you can't forget the cheeks.


and the plaintive baby looks help too

I swear, sometimes this boy looks like a doll


OOOOOooooo!

but milk is your best food!

hey, check it! I'm about to crawl!



OMG!


Come on! It's cool! I'm still flopping around doing the worm or the butterfly stroke on dry land, but still!


No seriously! O. M. G.!


oops. I fell.


Harumph.


(and once again... Rocket! I'm taking a rocket!...)

but always nomming

this is one of my most favorite pics ever:


his shark hat/hood is so jaunty!

man, this kid kills with the expressions.

and me being a total dork.


but hey, Max broke out his own blue steel!


me = smirky, Max = Le Tigre?


regardless, the kiddo and proved that he is indeed, the cutest lil baby blue shark ever


did I mention I am a dork?


oh wait, it gets worse.


oh no! a baby shark killing me with the cute! But then I am saved by the fascination of the camera strap.

post-bathtime when Max is an especially cute sharky baby




and this is what happens when max decides he wants to EAT CAMERA NOW!

back in June (yes, I know, we're backlogged), Luke the baby and his parents Paige and Paul came out to Montclair to play on the superfabulous playground with the squishy ground.

A good time was had by all, despite the heat. Plus, Luke was so adorable in his toddler obsession with a) puppy and b) ball. Sadly, I have no pictures of Luke calling "puppy puppy puppy" softly in the stroller. But I do have pics of Luke and Paul finding a ball, or rather...

BALL! BALL! BALL!


Ah, ball. Also, Jonathan and Max in the background


Max went on the swings




look at those arm rolls! I want to eat him up.


and was a tall baby


who nommed on Jonathan's hat

HEY!


Let's go do fun stuff!


Also! Did you see I'm standing, kinda, with some help?


Oh hey, did you see my foot? I totally have a foot.

"wha? Hey, mommy. I so didn't see you there. I'm not doing anything. Not touching the video games at all, why do you ask?"


Why do I get the feeling I'll be seeing this look a lot?

that's 7 months!




Also, this rocket tee totally makes me sing the theme song to Astronaut Jones. "rocket! I'm taking a rocket... I'm packing my suitcase! Look out moon!"
