sadly, the last week of the regular Max and friends photos...




and this photo pretty much illustrates why:

TOO MOBILE. Guess who's a toddler now?

This one KILLS me

"he's a lumberjack and he's ok..."

That is in fact a Where the Wild Things are t-shirt

Tubby time!

Yes, he is holding a fake cell phone. He likes to call Daddy on it.

God only knows what he'd spilled on his shirt


SO MAD! BABY HULK SMASH!


know what brings Baby Hulk back down to calm? Picking at the monkey's nose.

Overalls!

NO PANTS!

Apparently Charlie Brown is eating Snoopy. Alas.

Yeah, I think so.

from back in october

Remember October? We finally do.

Here's a video of Max eating and the rest of family acting like idiots

How did we miss halloween? Two cameras. That's how. I downloaded pics from my camera, but we neglected to download pics from Jonathan's camera.

And so now, a solid TEN MONTHS after it happened, I present Halloween pictures. God we are BAD BLOGGING PARENTS.

So let's flash back shall we? Picture it: it's October. It's not a billion degrees out. And it's nearly Halloween....

Pumpkins need to be chosen, but Max is not thrilled by this.


Then Jonathan works his magic pumpkin carving skills:


Later that night, I work my own magic with a sharpie and an old navy t-shirt, and the next day, Charlie Brown shows up!


complete with snoopy and Daddy


And the rare Mommy shot


Though he is still not convinced by the pumpkins




Then there was some trick or treating up at Grampy and Miz Karen's house, and to our longtime family friends, the Dougherty's


Max and Di


Max and Theresa (who I babysat once upon a time, god I'm old)


And finally, Max decided to "help" hand out candy. Or really, just rummage around in the bowl.



Though I have to say, I do not think Charlie Brown was ever THIS charming.


Ladies? Look out. Especially if you are the little redheaded girl.

And the leaves, when they weren't actually on the trees?

Max does! Back in November, there were huge piles of leaves everywhere...

Max is unsure at first...


But then, hey, leaves! yay!




Hm, perhaps they taste good.


I shall see.


CHOMP!


NOM NOM NOM


Want one?

laundry basket rides are awesome!

(yes, there is yo gabba gabba at our house, therefore everything is... AWESOME! a la DJ Lance Rock)

(also, still playing catchup. this is from NOVEMBER.)

It's been over a month since the last post, which was itself over a month from the post previously.

Meanwhile the photos have been piling up on the memory cards, just waiting for me to get off my duff and download them. And then get off of my duff and upload them. And oh wait, get off of my duff and post them.

So anyway, let's start the catchup!

First we have cute pics of Max and daddy!




Oh and these are from NOVEMBER.

BAD BLOGGING PARENTS y'all.

Oooh GLASSES!

Just a couple of nice shots that Jen took of the boy and me.

On Saturday we took Max to a huge egg hunt at Brookdale Park. A local church has been throwing the event for six or seven years now and it's almost a fair -- there's free stuff, games, face painting, and an enormous (10,000 egg) hunt split into multiple age groups so everyone can play. The weather was beautiful and Max had a great time.


Max loves balloons.


but not the Easter Bunny.


Sno-cones make it all better.


Jen and Max waiting for the gates to open on the egg hunt.


Into the egg thunderdome. Hundreds of kids on stampede.


Hey look, it's Jen!


Mission accomplished!


Into the bag.


Now home, Jeeves. I mean Daddy.
