Max at the grocery store

Inspired by this series.

Be vewy vewy quiet

I'm hunting whabbits!

Max Friday

Like magic, now that Max is 7 months, it has become increasingly more difficult to photograph him. He does this now when I put him down.




Also in the last few weeks, I'm really starting to see myself. I still think he looks more like Ryan, but when I look at pictures of myself at this age, there are some spooky similarities. He is becoming more and more of a little boy and less of a baby everyday. It is so fun to see him grow.

Definitely not like this today

Oh, March in Wisconsin, you are no fun. I took these pictures on Wednesday, and now today our steps are covered with snow.

7 months

Max turned 7 months yesterday.

Rub-a-dub-dub

I didn't take many pictures of Max this week. Just 3 pictures will have to do. I've been wanting to put him back in the tub now that he is sitting, but he tried to chew the sides!


Update: I couldn't resist. I took some more pictures this afternoon. There was pretty light in our bedroom again.


I'm getting a little tired of our blue wall, but I don't think Ryan would agree with me painting it just so I can have a different color in my pictures. :)


Max is teething like crazy. I took his pacifier out and he start sucking on his big toe. He is just too adorable.

Too much of a good thing?

I warned you -- lots of pictures and lots more baby on the bed.

Get ready

for a lot of Max pictures in the next few weeks. I'm having a lot of fun with him sitting up.
I've been in a black and white mood lately. Usually, I can never decide to post color or black and white, but I've been leaning towards black and white more.

Max Friday

Holding on

Usually, I'm anxious for Max to reach each new milestone. I love seeing him become such a little person. However, I have not been anxious for him to graduate out of his infant car seat. I will miss how easy it is to take him places in it. But more than that, I'm going to very much miss looking in my rear view mirror and seeing his face through the little hole in the car seat cover. It makes me smile every time.

A very special Max Friday

I considered saving these until Max's 6 month post in a couple of weeks, but I was very anxious to share. I posted more pictures in my Flickr account here. Have I mentioned that he is the cutest? :)

Lunch

Today, Max and I met Ryan for lunch at a restaurant that just opened up across the street from where Ryan works called Sundays Bake Shop & Eatery. We had heard about it in the paper a few months ago and have been anticipating its opening not only because of its convenient location but because their specialty is pie. Ryan and I share a similar trait, a big sweet tooth. Over lunch, we discussed our favorite desserts. I decided that mine are most definitely ice cream and cookies, where Ryan's are pie and cake. I may convert to pie though after the yummy apple pie we had. Overall, I say Sundays is a hit (by the way, we did actually have a lunch, which was really good).

Max fell asleep on the short ride home, so you get a double dose of Max today. This picture is horribly out of focus, but I love it anyways.

First go at rice cereal

He wasn't quite sure about it. I think he was more interested in my flash.

5 months

on Sunday

Max Friday

While not the best pictures, these make me smile a whole lot because they are very much our life right now. The one on the left shows Max's current love for water bottles (and not to mention a half-eaten dinner and a baby on the lap). The picture on the right was taken last weekend when it was pretty nice outside. We bundled up Max and took a walk with Freckles. Max and I haven't been joining Ryan and Freckles on their walks, but we've been anxious to put him in this bear snow suit for quite some time. It finally fits. I think he may be the cutest, ever. :)

1st Christmas

I think Max had a great first Christmas. He received way too many presents for a boy of just 4 months. :) See the rest of the pictures here.

Happy Holidays

Thank you to everyone for a very successful start to my business. I'm so excited for next year!

I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday. We'll be enjoying our first Christmas with Max.

Max Saturday

I didn't post a Max Friday because I had a session. So, here is a special Max Saturday. I've been wanting to take this picture for awhile. Every morning while I eat my breakfast and check my email, Max sits in his vibrating chair and sucks his thumb.

Max Friday

I almost didn't make it!

Max Friday already

Just took this one this morning!
