Country Roads took us HOME to WV!

Here we are in the WV airport. Max loved the plane trip. Was only fussy for a few minutes at the start but once he got used to it, was fascinated with it. He played peek-a-bo with passengers and the stewardess. He took Scout along for the trip.

8 Months!!

Max's 8 months pic!! This was the best one because he was smiling. However, I will say in one of the others where he was fussing and stretched out, his feet went to the end of the blanket!! He is approx 27inches and 20 lbs!!

Max is growing up!!!

Ok, so I took Max this past weekend to get pics taken. We had a great time and we got some great shots. I ordered some of these, but I got a CD with all of them on it. ENJOY!!Hey Mountaineer, are you ready for some football?
Let's GO Mountaineers!!

I caught it

Hey, touchdown

I love crawling on the beach

Mommy, I'm waving at you

Me and My Pal, Scout

Hey, I can do push ups

Scout, you're a good dog

Hello World







I can't believe how big he is. He has such a personality now. He's not a baby anymore, he's my "little man".

7 months

Well, here's the little man at 7 months. He's really growing up on us now. He can sit by himself unattended and play with toys in the floor. He crawls fairly well both forward / backward now and can roll all over a room. He loves to sit in his high chair and eat. He's learning to use a sippy cup. He's starting to get the hang of some sign language words: milk, more, yes, bath, Mommy, Daddy, I love you, puppy, etc. He definately knows and uses milk - that was his first sign word to both understand when it's said to him and for him to use it to us. We're working on the others. He babbles like crazy, who knows what he's saying but he does love to talk / squeal / scream.

Max and Macey

Well, we think that Max and Macey will grow up being good friends. Macey is 5 months younger than Max. She is the daughter of our best friends: Todd and Marianne. I thought this was sweet: Max doing an "I dream of Jeannie pose" and Macey leaning into him
Come on, don't they look cute? I mean, both smiling at the same time!!

Happiness is Max's Smile

Here is our lil Mountaineer getting ready for August!!
Let's GOOOOO Mountaineers

Hey Mom, what's up?

Hello World

Yeah, I'm a big boy

6 months old!!!!

On 6/30/09 Max turned 6 months old. Can't believe it's been 1/2 a year already. He was 17lbs 16oz at his MD appt. Lost about 1lb in a month which is a good thing because he was just SO chubby. Went from 75% to 50%. I think it's because of the bouncer, trimming up those chubby legs. Plus he had a growth spurt - 27 inches. He grew 3 inches in 1month!! Now 75% for his length!!

He is crawling now, mainly backwards but starting to go forwards a little. We call him "roly poly" because he likes to lay in the floor and roll from back to front and then front to back. We really have to get the house babyproofed quickly!!!

We can't believe just how much he is growing up!!
