Egg-straordinary!


Max loves his egg hunts! The first one was held in the backyard on Wednesday. We've since held countless more inside (thank you Mother Nature). He loves to look for eggs. He loves it even more when there are jelly beans inside the eggs. He's even happy to do the egg hunt with empty eggs. I'm thinking we still might be having egg hunts long after Easter is over. Mama's okay with that. Easy entertainment is always a great thing, even if that means I'm still hunting eggs in October.

Snowy Day

On Sunday we woke up to Max already walking around our room (a crib sure would be nice at 6am). He promptly said hi to daddy and then "Look outside, snow on the the ground! Go see. Put jackets on."

After getting over the amazement that our child is now speaking in paragraphs, we headed outside for some fun!

Where'd My Baby Go

Here are some recent pictures of Max (pre and post haircut). All I have to ask is where'd my baby go?! Speaking of babies...our great friends Robbie and Catie are expecting their first little one, Jackson. Seeing the pictures of the adorable baby baking in Catie's belly and watching my little one get so big is making me anxious for that next stage in life: mother of two.

Robo-Max


Max thinks a headband and goggles make a good robot costume. Works for me. Hopefully he still agrees when Halloween comes along.

Happy 2nd Birthday Max!

2 years ago we were busy staring in awe at the brand new baby boy we had created. We admired fingers and toes (yea, he had 10 of each)! We looked at the amazing full head of hair (we were convinced he was going to be bald).

We cuddled. We held. We rocked.

We fell head over heels in love with our 10.2 pound, 22 inch, brown haired, rosy cheeked baby!

Now, here we sit 2 years later and we are in awe of the 2 year old we are raising. He walks and runs. He tries his hardest to jump. He has opinions and is not afraid to let everyone know what they are. He loves dinosaurs, animals of all kinds, Star Wars and trains. If you ask (and offer chocolate) he will count to 10 and tell you his name is Max Nelson.

We still cuddle. We still hold. We still rock.

We are still head over heels in love with our 29 pound, 35 inch, blonde haired, rosy cheek boy!
