Haircut

Hi all. It is Max.

While I was at Yiayia and Papou's, I got a haircut. Mommy and Yiayia laughed alot. I don't know why. I kept trying to wiggle around to take a look, but they kept trying to keep me still. Anyway. Here is a picture of me and my new haircut.



love,
Maxers

Quick Update

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know what is going on:

Home Sweet Home

Mommy, Daddy and I moved into our new house! (With lots of help from Family and Friends, Thanks Everyone!!) I have my very own room and so does Callie. Mommy and Daddy are still unpacking, but it is looking pretty good. We love our new house and are just so excited. Mommy said she will post a picture to the blog very soon.

I'm One!

Two days after we moved into our house, I turned one! (On November 21st)


Me and Mommy with my cake

We didn't have a big party for my birthday since we just moved into our house and all. But mommy made me the yummiest thing called cake. I absolutely love it!! I can't get enough. Daddy says I inherited my sweet tooth from Mommy.

Check up

The day after my birthday, I had a check up with Dr. Guru. (I had another appointment with him the Friday before cause I wasn't feeling well. I had an ear infection!) Anyway, Dr. Guru checked me over and said I was doing much better. My ears looked good.

The nurse weighed me (23lbs and 5 ozs and 32 inches long!) Dr. Guru thinks I will be over 6 feet tall when I grow up! That is taller than my Uncle John!

I have to admit I was a bit of a grump during my appointment. I was so tired! It was all because Mommy took me to see the firemen so they can fix my car seat. Those guys are pretty cool. I like their truck.

Thanksgiving

Then on Thursday we went to Yia Yia and Papou's for Thanksgiving. Turkey is yummy. So was the peas and sweet potato. Then we had turkey potpie for leftovers. Yumm-o.

I hope that everyone had a great holiday. I will post again very soon.

Lots of love!
Max

Just a Quick Note...

Hi, all,

I have been extremely bust lately with all kind of things. We just recently got our DSL connection back, so I will be making a longer entry soon. But now, I have to go get a bath.

Bye for now,


Max

Trick or Treat

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday was my first ever Happy Halloween. It is a holiday in which kids get dressed up in costumes and come to my house and ask for candy. It was pretty cool; some of the kids were funny, others scary. Mommy turned me into a Punk Rocker. She put some gunk in my hair so that it stood up high. She called it a Mohawk.


Mohawk Boy

I also had a Ramones t-shirt. I don't know who they are but they look like some really cool bears.

While Mommy waited for the kids at our house, Daddy and I went to trick or treat at Grandma and Grandpa's. There were lots of kids at their house! It was a pretty fun night.

Next year Mommy said I get to choose what I want to be. And I can go to a lot more houses. It will be loads of fun!

Hope you all had a great and spooky Halloween!

Max

Anniversary

Hi All, Max here.

Yesterday was Mommy and Daddy's third wedding anniversary! Daddy brought Mommy some flowers. Mommy showed them to me, but they freaked me out, just like grass does. I wanted those things as far away as possible!

Mommy and Daddy have been putting all our stuff in boxes. I keep trying to take everything out, but for some reason they don't like that very much. It has something to do with our new house. I am beginning to think that something might be up. Am I gonna have to leave my room? I know that we have been looking for a new room for me, but I thought I would just have two. I think that maybe I won't.

I am getting a couple new teeth too. Two more on the bottom for a total of 7.5. Mommy said she is having trouble seeing if another one is coming in on top too.

I am standing for longer periods of time too. Mommy says that I should try walking, but it is so easy just to crawl where I need to go.

Cousin Cailyn is walking really well now. She is so cool! Yia Yia said that Cailyn was crawling just like my mommy did when she was little. Yia Yia thought that Cailyn would be walking quick because of that. I guess Yia Yia knows her stuff!

That is all for tonight.

love you all.
Maxer to the Millian

Congratulations!

Hi, all,

Mommy and Daddy thought it would be nice if I would post a congratulations to my Auntie Felicia for scoring a 164 (the highest score is 180) on her LSAT. I guess that is some kind of test for college. I can't wait to see you again Auntie Felicia. Have fun with your LSAT score. I miss you.

Love,

Max

We're moving!

Hi all! Max here.

It looks like we will be moving into our new house in Mid-November! (Mommy says that as long as things keep going ok. The inspection went really well, so there hopefully shouldn't be any problems.) I get my own room and it is so pretty! Mommy is very excited and so is daddy! We can't wait to move in! I have been helping packing some boxes, but it is much more fun taking stuff out of them.

Mommy will help me post some pictures of the house soon.

love
Max

Finally, Some Pictures

Hi all,
Finally some long awaited pictures. Enjoy!


Football season!




Just some happy pics!


P.S. No news on the new house yet. My room is somewhere out there, I guess.

love, Max

All About Town

Hi all, Max here.

Well, I have been one busy boy! This past week mommy and I went to visit Uncle Sean and Aunt Megan so that I could help take care of cousin Cailyn. Aunt Mimi and Uncle Sean had to work and since mommy didn't for a couple of days, we went to hang out with Cailyn. Now let me tell you, we had loads of fun! Cailyn has some cool toys that we don't have at my house. Like this thing that plays music and sings. I could stand up to it and hit the buttons to make it work. Cailyn and I hung out there for hours!! Mommy has a picture of it maybe, but she has to load the pictures to the computer from the camera for me still. (She has been really bad about getting these pictures uploaded. Soon, I hope though.)

Cailyn also showed me this thing that is on the wall by the carpet. There is one behind every door (weird!), but it goes "boing" when you hit it and it shakes back and forth. Mommy called it a door stop, I just call it cool. I could have played with that all day.

And I got to see Jackson and Wiley. They are some pretty cool animals.

And you know what else? Yia Yia and Papou came to see me! They said that it was a little closer drive, so it was like we met halfway between our houses. I was so excited to see them. It has been a while, but it was great. Papou and I practiced our counting and then we played quite a bit. I tell you, it was a fun couple of days.

In other news...

We may have sold our house! Mommy and Daddy say it looks fairly promising. We even looked at a couple of houses that may have my new room in it! Mommy and Daddy think that one so far looks not so bad, but we are going to look at some more houses on Tuesday. Mommy says that we will find something, she just hopes that we will be able to find something in a short time and something that has most what we want in a house. She says that it is hard to find a house that has it all! Wish us luck anyway!

that is all for now. Hopefully some pictures soon!!!!!!

love
Max

Cold is "Empty, Empty, Empty."

Hi, all, Max here.

My cold is gone now, thanks to the medicine my Mommy gave me. Sorry it took me so long to let you all know, I know many of you were worried, but I have been playing so much now that I am better that I forgot to let you all know that I am better.

In Other News

I'm getting two more teeth on top. I am happy because they are coming, and I will be able to chew Cheerios and cheese better, but I am a little scared because teeth hurt when they arrive.

Talk to all of you later. I hope to have some pictures up for you soon.

Love,

Max

First Cold

Hi All,

I have my first Cold. Mommy says that I will be better soon. All I know is that I don't feel so great. My nose is making some weird stuff that is oozing out and then I make some weird noises that Mommy and Daddy call coughing. It is keeping me up at night, this Cold.

Mommy has been giving me some medicine and it is making me feel a little better. I should be back in no time. Though to be perfectly honest, I haven't slowed down that much.

I kinda took a little step today too. It was really fun and Mommy says that before long I will be able to walk everywhere instead of crawl! Whoa! That will be so cool!!

love you all.

Sleeping is Overrated

Hi all.

Sleeping is overrated.

Why sleep when I could crawl around the house, get into lots of fun stuff to play with and chase the kitten, Callie. I think my sister kitten is getting tired of me pulling her tail. I thought she liked it when I did that, but now I think she is getting a bit annoyed.

Anyway, I just don't see the point in sleeping. So cry I must as Mommy and Daddy try to make me. They can be so mean sometimes.

Sleeping is way overrated.

Nighty Night,
Max

Quick notes

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you all know that I turned on something called "word verification" for the comments section. This will help stop the comment spam that I have been getting.

Second, Mommy says that Halloween is coming up and I have to dress up in a costume. If you have any ideas for my costume, please leave them in comments!

Thanks,
Max

Nine Month Check-up

Hi All, Max here.

Yesterday was my nine month check-up with Dr. Guru. It went well. I have grown to be 30.5 inches and 21 pounds and 15 ounces! I am a big boy now! Mommy says I barely fit on the changing pad and I can stretch out to most of the length of the crib!! Dr. Guru said that everything is looking good.

Mommy made me some food that was exceptionally yummy the last couple of nights. I got to have some chili and some beefy brocoli. Both entrees are so good. I gobbled them down. She said she is going to make me turkey tonight with carrots. I can't wait.

My teeth are coming in nicely. I am able now to make a really cool clicking noise with all of them. It is fun and it freaks Mommy out.

Daddy started back to teaching school again for the year. It is not as much fun as summer time. I miss him now that he is gone for most of the day, but we still get some evening time together.


Me enjoying some graham crackers

Hope everyone is doing well. I will talk to you all soon!!

Love,
The Maximillian

P.S. Dee is missing again. I am taking it rather well, I have so many other things I can play with until he is found. Mommy and Daddy are keeping an eye out for him. Again he is somewhere in the house. Just don't know where.

Some notes and pics

Hi all.

Just some quick notes:


Here I am modeling my new hairstyle. Mommy said I was rocking!!!




Teeth

I am getting some new teeth. They are coming in on the top. They are making me a bit uncomfortable, but now it is even easier to eat graham crackers! (See above photo.)

Standing

Today I stood all on my own, with no help from Mommy, Daddy or the table!! It was fun, but I don't know if I want to do it again yet.

In other news

Mommy and Daddy are still trying to find me a new room. We have had a bit of luck at a couple of showings, but no offer yet. Hopefully, we will hear something soon. Mommy really wants me to have a new room!! (One for Callie too).

love,
Max

Found

Mommy found Dee! Mommy found Dee!

Max

Update

Still no sign of Dee.

Missing: Dee Twenty

Hi All, Max here.

Last night after a very eventful day, Mommy, Daddy and I came home and Mommy said "Bath time, Maxers." Well, while Mommy was getting my bath ready and Daddy was getting me ready, somehow Dee got lost. Mommy said he is in the house somewhere, but only where babies and kittens can go. Mommy and Daddy looked and looked but haven't found Dee yet. Callie hasn't seen him either.

I hope they find Dee soon. I miss him.

Max

Just Another Saturday

Hi All, Max here.

Today I got to spend some time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Sean, Aunt Megan and Cailyn. Mommy had to go to work and Daddy went to a birthday party for his friend. They played a computer game. Mommy got to come home to see me at lunch but it was such a short time. I miss her so much, but I had Dee Twenty so I was ok. And Uncle Sean kinda looks like Daddy so it is almost like Daddy is with me even when he is not. No matter anyway, we were all together again soon enough!

I got to go see great grandma today too. She got some new carpet that was pretty fun to crawl on. It has all these speckles in it that I just want to pick them all up.

Oh yeah, I loooooove Graham Crackers.

Max

Greetings

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry that I haven't posted lately. Busy, busy, busy!

We got back Sunday from visiting Yia Yia and Papou. We also went to Thea Sophia and Uncle Craigory's. I was so excited to see everyone that I couldn't sleep a wink! Mommy and Daddy just would not listen to me when I tried to tell them I didn't want to sleep. They kept trying to get me to sleep anyway! Can you believe the nerve of them!? I showed them. ;)

Yia Yia and Papou are pretty funny. They tell me stories and Papou is trying to teach me how to count to five! I know that soon I will be able to say it along with him. They have lots of flowers around their house and I got to see some hummingbirds! It was pretty cool.

I also got to see Lisa, Julie, Thea Voula, Aunt Georgia and Nick. And I got to see my Nona! It was loads of fun!

Visiting the Zoo

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Zoo for my mommy's birthday. She loves the zoo and she wanted me to see it for myself. She said she and daddy had their first date at the zoo! How cool is that?

I got to see all sorts of animals. I think my favorites were the silly monkeys and the lemurs. We also saw some lions and bears and kangaroos and wallaroos. They were all very beautiful! And none of them looked like Callie. She is the best animal of them all and she lives in my very own house!


Me, Mommy and the Lemurs

Well, folks, that is all for now.
Lots of love,
Maximillian
