3 New Things for Max

Max met a friend in the mirror. He thinks he is quite handsome and I think he is right!

We got a tree in our front yard to celebrate the year of the little man's life.

We had a WONDERFUL visit with my cousin Sara. He was quite taken with her, he loves all beautiful women! Max can't wait till he gets to see his Sara again!

Almost 9 Months!

Happy Halloween...

From the cutest pumpkin there is!

Pumpkin Time

It is a beautiful day here in Kansas and we made use of the gorgeous weather. We attended a pumpkin patch festival to benefit an urban school here in the city, DeLaSalle. Max got to pick a pumpkin, see our friend Eric Carver do some awesome face painting, look at baby cows, and listen to some awesome music by Mr. Stinky Feet himself, Jim Cosgrove. All and all, it was a pretty fun afternoon!

On the Move

Maddox has decided to start exploring his world a little more fully. He is officially crawling all over the place and is pulling himself up to stand too! Lane and I are running around like mad trying to really baby proof the house. I haven't really gotten any good crawling pictures but here are some cute pictures of Max standing at our window after school today.

Max is great!

Here are some photos to remind us that Max is a happy child loved by many! We're blessed to get to see the many moods of Max:
