Puttin' on the Ritz!

I don't have any pictures for this post, but I wanted to share this bit of info anyway! I was eating a couple of crackers last night and Max took one. I decided to wait and see what he would do with it. He put the cracker in his mouth and chewed it up, just like a big boy! He ate the whole thing. He liked it so much I gave him another one! Don't they change so fast! Maizy sat right next to Max the whole time, but she did not even try to steal the cracker from him. She waited till he was done, then cleaned up the mess Max left behind. She really does love her baby!

Return to Christmas
















Oops - I DID take photos of Max on Christmas day. I didn't think that I would forget to do that! Here are some pics of our little guy's 1st Christmas! The 1st picture was taken at our 2nd Annual Christmas Eve with the Laakso Family. Max is playing with his birthday buddy Haley!

WOO HOO 2009...
















Darrell, Max, and I rang in the new year with a bunch of friends...and Buenas Aires. We decided to invite our friends over for a kid friendly event, so we chose a country that rang in the new year at a more decent hour. So, champagne and noise makers were enjoyed at 9:00pm. Poor Max didn't even make it to our fake new year, though. He crashed around 8! New Year's Day we went to The Schoenling Grandparents for a fabulous pork roast dinner (Mmmm - thanks Mom). Max passed out on Grandaddy!

Go Bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S


Max had his 1st taste of a real bananas 12/29/08. He loved to chew on it! The banana probably soothed his poor aching gums - he got his 2 front teeth for Christmas!

Merry Christmas




Oops - No pictures...Darrell and I got a camcorder for Christmas this year so we could catch some of Baby Max's great faces and noises before he grows up...That being said we took a video of Max with his gifts, and forgot to take pictures! Here is the photo I put in our cards, and one photo of Max with Auntie...
