yeah yeah caterpillars are cool




but auntie sharren...


is awesome!




and she's soooo funny!


and when auntie sharren talks...

there was cake! (as shown in front of my dad)


there were tickles!


there was caterpillar-nomming!

oh man, we are so playing catch up...

Max has been napping in his crib for months now, but back in May, the bouncy seat was really key to getting him to sleep during the day. Until his butt started hitting the floor.

And so, may I present, the last hurrah of the bouncy seat...
it starts out well...




the kid is still cute...


but the end is never pretty

back in may (shut up, we're behind), Max started to figure out mobility. Crawling? not so much. Flopping? Oh hell yes. The best way to describe it is like the butterfly stroke, but on dry land: pushing up, flopping forward, repeat. He even got the dolphin kick down pretty well.

(because it was summer, and pjs were onesies and onesies were pjs)

one of them just woke up, and was wearing spidey!

sitting on the stairs (note the pretty pretty new color!)


tummy!


tall baby!


picking at lint, or something

...looking that is. these pics crack me up


oh flash. so bad.

and this? well, it's both cute and maniacal


it's like he's practicing to be a comic book villian. which really, considering his parents, would be an admirable career! muhahahahaha!

ok, this one is pretty cute though

but this one is one of my favorites
