Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Maxton is very mobile these days. One of his favorite places to hang out is by Bucky's cage. I don't know what it is about the cage, but it definitely interests him. I guess it makes noise if you pound on it , so that may have something to do with it.
Maxton has found the stairs...oh no! He climbed all the way to the top his first attempt.

His first Harley.


Look Ma I can walk!

Breanne reading to Maxton

I have been trying to put these on here for a while, and finally figured out how to do it. Maxton loves to listen to Breanne's voice, whether she is reading, singing or just talking to him. He loves his auntie.

















9 month update...

Well, I have been getting some grief for taking so long, but here we are. Maxton is on my lap helping so please excuse any miss spelled words or extra letters added in. It seems to have been a very busy month. For starters, Maxton and I have been sick for most, if not all of it. Just when we think we are getting better, one of us takes a turn for the worse. But this too shall pass...hopefully sooner than later.

Now for the exciting news...where to start...

He will follow me from room to room, no matter how long it takes him. And when he finally gets there he is so proud of himself and so excited to see me, as if it is the first time he has seen me all day. He is pulling himself up and then slowly moving from side to side. He will leave all his toys just to get to the dogs toy. He loves to play with paper, pot lids and wooden spoons...anything that makes noise. He loves bath time, or tubber time as Mike calls it. He would stay in there "swimming" all day if I would let him. He will turn over, turn around, slide from one end to another and kick and splash the whole time. I have to clean him as soon as I get him in there or he is too busy to sit still. He is throwing balls a little better, this definitely excites Michael. He looks for the dogs when he hears them moving around. He will try to see you if you walk into another room. He claps his hands all the time. Actually, the other day Maxton and I were upstairs watching Michael work out. When he was done lifting Maxton started clapping for him, this was with no coaching. We thought it may be a fluke so Mike tried again. Maxton clapped again. This went on for the rest of Michael's work out. It was so cute. He is such an adorable, wonderful little man. I can not say enough how lucky we are. Even when he is sick...forever...he is still the best behaved little boy ever.

Now to explain why my son is in a Huggies box. I had picked up diapers and was putting them away when he decided to play with the box. I thought why not put him in it and push him around like a box car, so that's what I did, and he loved it. He liked it so much he wanted to stay in there and play.

The next picture is Maxton in his Halloween costume that Grandma Donna got for him. He was Frankenstien. Isn't he scary:)?!

And of course my boys sleeping. They always look so peaceful.

Well, until next month I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I want you all to know how thankful I am that you are in our lives. You all mean the world to me. I love you all.

October Update


Good Friday Afternoon Everyone!!!
It's the weekend...yippee. I got out of work at 12:30 and had Maxton by 1:00. We played for about an hour and now he is sleeping. I don't know why it is, but he sleeps much longer when he is home with me in the afternoons than he does at school. I guess there is less going on here so he gets more sound sleep, but I look forward to getting home early to play with him. Oh well, he will be rested up for his fall party at school tonight. That's right, he has a school party to attend tonight. There will be balloons, a cake walk, pumpkins and lots of fun! Tomorrow we have a neighborhood fall party to attend. Boy you would think we are a partying family. This will be the most eventful weekend in awhile.
OK, now that I have all that out I am sure you are all dieing to here about Maxton's 8 month highlights. Well...where d I start??? He is just growing way too fast. He is moving all around. He tries to crawl, but can move faster right now by doing the army crawl. He is clapping with a huge grin that shows off his two growing teeth. And he is pulling himself up on things.
Mike and Maxton were home together for 5 days without me. They did wonderful. I even did alright this time. Mike had alot to do with that. He let me know that everything was ok, but they needed me and were so happy I was home. And this time, being that Maxton is older, he recognized me and reached for me even though he was tired.
Last weekend we all went over to moms house and had our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party. This time Maxton had more of a role than last year ;). Here are some pictures from the party...
