Saying his ABC's

Max has known all of the letters in the alphabet for a few weeks now and we have been trying to get him saying them on video. Like every family in the US we have the foam alphabet that stick to the walls of the bathtub and this is where he is the most consistent in telling us his letters. Sorry to future Max for posting yet another bathtub video of you, but it is just too cute and sweet to pass on!

Max and the Agilaylor

This was also from the perfect day. The elementary school had a flower bed with these alligator statues and Max stopped by to investigate them.

Bounce House Fun

From yesterday...

A Perfect Day!!!

So today was about Max's perfect day. The Woodway Public Safety Department had their annual fundraiser and so we headed down to support our fair community in the effort to purchase a new rescue truck. Hopefully we will never have need for that ourselves...

Anyway there were fire trucks galore out for us to explore and "drive". Max was so excited to see them all AND after lunch one of the volunteer fire fighters took us for a ride in the "leeddle" fire truck and he even ran the siren and honked the air horn a time or two. I so wish I could have had a camera on Max's face when we pulled out of the parking space. Elation is how I would describe it! On top of all the awesome fire trucks, they had a bounce house (video to follow) a playground nearby AND he won some Play Dough as a door prize. We came home and he sacked out for a 2 hour nap. Whew! What a great day!

Max and Daddy were checking out the "beeg" fire trucks. He was impressed with it's ladder.

Our friends Scott, Rachelle, Anna and Elizabeth Huitink were also there today. Max so desperately wanted to hold the "beebee" so I had a pile on my lap!

You will notice in the most recent videos that we keep trying to get Max to tell us that whatever we are looking at is awesome. The way he says it is so cute! Alas, he will not perform for the camera. I hope to get it some day though. I just wanted to explain why we continue to ask him to describe things or experiences.

Sneaky Peek!

Hi everyone!

We had some photos taken over the weekend while Max's Grandma and Grandpa were here visiting us. I know that there are no pics of them on the blog... yet. Our photographer Rachel just sent me a few as a teaser and the rest will get to us next week or so. Many more of these wonderful pictures to follow. Thanks Rachel!

Max and his Daddy. Plus he has on his fire truck T-shirt that he LOVES!
I LOVE THIS!!!!! It will be blown up and wall papered in our house!

Sweet boy. Check back for more pics!

This is MY son for sure!

We were out yesterday enjoying a nice day (it has cooled somewhat here so the outside is an option again) and we found this jeweled scarab beetle in the driveway. Max wasn't sure he wanted to hold it at first, but after he gave it a try he didn't want to put it back down. He is so curious about nature and those of you who know me knows that I LOVE that!!!
