Look what Tyler learned how to do today:
READY …..
SET….
GO!!!!!!
Hey everybody! Max here! I figured that it has been a very long time since I updated you and told you happenings from around the house so here I go ….
I am now 20 months old and growing like a weed! I am very tall and very skinny. I weigh 24 pounds and the doctor was so proud of me! I heard Mom say that when Tyler was 20 months, he weighed 34 pounds! He must have been fat!
I do not really like to eat … unless it is gummies. Mom will not let me have free reign of the gummies and it really confuses me because she is always begging me to eat. Women!
We had a very fun summer. We had some friends from Texas come visit us, we went to Savannah for Mom’s birthday, we got new neighbors to play with, we went to the zoo, we went to a water park, we swam in the backyard…
Mom even threw a back to school party for Tyler, Isabella and some of their friends! I heard it was fun … but you can’t ask me because Mom planned it during my nap so I missed the whole thing! So not fair! But Tyler and Isabella started school ~ Tyler is in first grade and Isabella is in Pre-K at Tyler’s school. Mom was happy for them to go off to school but then she got all weepy. Don’t know what for, but I heard her talk to Dad about how fast they are growing and that Tyler is 1/3 of the way done with his life at home. Come on Mom, get over it … you still have me!
Now who couldn’t love a face like mine?? Any who … school:
Then those two got ICE CREAM when they got home from school! That is not fair because for me to get ice cream, I have to bang the freezer and yell until Mom gets the picture! Again, Mom always wants me to eat more but she is not willing to give me what I want! What is wrong with her??
Well, that is life around here. I am still pretty much calling the shots and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Oh wait, get this … I am a real dare devil (I hear Mom and Dad saying that I will keep the ER’s in business). I LOVE to stand on the coffee table and swan dive onto the couch. I also like to climb onto the end table and swan dive from there. The other day, Mom walked into her closet and caught me standing on her stool and diving down onto a pile of laundry. I was just fine, but she just about lost it! I just laughed!
Our neighbor came to dinner one night and Mom and Dad kind of wish they hadn’t. Mr. Will taught me to hold onto his hands, walk up his body until I am standing on his shoulders, then he flipped me back down to the floor. It was soooo much fun, but Mom and Dad don’t like to play that game. I hear them often say “Wait until Mr. Will has kids….” Not sure what that means though.
Here is one last picture. It is of Mr. Will holding Isabella and me upside down! I sure love that guy!
Happy Birthday Max!!!
Mason's Uncle and Aunt treated all of us to a Stone Mountain Christmas. We got to enjoy a Polar Express 4D movie, a train ride, a parade (well SOME people got to enjoy the parade, others of us had to take a little girl to the bathroom RIGHT as the parade was about to start and miss the whole thing because they are standing in line then can't make their way back through the crowd to the family. This is the same little girl who did NOT have to go when asked 15 min. BEFORE the parade started ...), food, and the beautifully light Stone Mountain Village. It was fun but crowded and SOOOO cold, but I guess it would not have felt right if it weren't so cold.
Oh wait. That IS the Marshmallow Man that I made for Tyler's cake! (hehehe, I will take any opportunity to re-post that darling little guy won't I??!!) Here's Marshmallow Max!
One night Mason was working late, so the kids and I had a McDonald's picnic in the living room. We have learned that Max LOVES McDonald's chicken nuggets and tried to keep stealing Isabella's away from her every time she turned her head! :)
As we entered into the week of Christmas, we all got hit with the stomach flu! YUCK! First it was Tyler and me, then two days later Isabella, then the day after Christmas it struck Mason. We thought it was very nice of the bug to allow Mason to celebrate Christmas and his birthday before striking. Although the bug had a BIG, STINGING bite, it only lasted 12 hours. Max never got it that we know of, THANK GOD. He slept a whole lot last week so we do not know if that was his version of it or what but I will continue to hold my breath until we clear this week!
On to the random pictures:
I got bored and decided to color my hair!
Reindeer Isabella!
Isabella's favorite Christmas present: her ballerina outfit!
