Six Months Already?

Well dang it Max is growing up too fast! Honestly, when Alex was a baby I was so excited to see him get bigger and reach each milestone. Such a different story with Max. I want him to stay little! If he stayed this way for a while I would be totally cool with it. He is so sweet, and a very good snuggler. He sleeps 11 to 12 hours at night, and is finally taking good naps during the day. Hooray! He loves to try new foods, and if you are eating and not sharing with him he gets very upset. He loves to laugh, and has such a sweet smile. He rolls all over the place, and he is getting close to sitting up. He has finally figured out how to use his fingers to get food into his mouth, and that is very nice for mom and Max. He is kind of a sensitive guy too. The other day when I was feeding him I made a sound like an airplane to fly the food into his mouth. I guess he thought it was a scary sound and he started to cry. He also cries when Alex yells; so scary! We went to the doctor and he is not growing very fast, so we are trying to pump him full of more calories.

Here are his stats:

Weight: 14 lbs 11 oz 10%

Height: 25 1/2 inches 20%

Head: 16 1/2 inches 9%

Happy Birthday to me!

This year for my birthday I got the best present ever, a new nephew! His name is Deegan, and he is quite the cutie. I was extra excited that he was born on my birthday too because that is the day I picked in our family pool. Smart move Deegan, you picked an awesome birthday! Also for my big day, we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse. It was delicious, and so fun to see everyone there (except for Lindsey of course). I was lucky enough to get some fabulous presents as well. All together it was one of the best birthdays a girl could have!

Murder Mystery Dinner (Warning some people's costumes are kind of crazy/gross--look at your own risk)

Tonight I put on a mystery dinner. It was a Lethal Luau, and all of my sisters and their husbands came. We had yummy food, awesome costumes, and lots of fun. It was great!

Here is Max trying on my wig before the festivities. I think he looks like a cabbage patch kid.

Lindsey was due to have her baby in five days, and Dustin painted a lovely flower on her belly.

Ashley - Nadia Seymour and Riley - Joey Breakers

Jenna - Birdie Putt and Brady - Rip Tide (all I can say is wow Brady)

Me - Holly Day and Mark - Les Baggs

Baby Animal Days

Today we went to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center with my mom and Ashley. It was a little cooler than last year because there were baby bears, and inflatable toys. Alex liked the animals, but once he saw the giant slide it was all he could think about the rest of the day!

Max was such a trooper.

This is how Mark looked in every single picture.

So cute!

Happy Easter!

Well here is what I got in my Easter basket this year. Her name is Molly, and she is a Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel and Poodle). When we decided to give Daisy away I told Mark I didn't want a new puppy. However, I seem to have changed my mind, I know I am dumb :) She is such a sweet puppy, and very smart. Alex has been having lots of fun with her, and we are happy to have her.
