Good habits start early.

I hope it's true cause Max loves to brush his teeth. We even got him an adult brush for him to play with and he loves it.

Max's cousins come to visit us in DC

Shortly after we got back from Canada, Max's cousins Cadee and Charis came to visit us in DC. So we went to the Natural History Museum and hung out at home and Max got to see his cousins for a full week.

Max modeling his new present from auntie Angela

Max is modeling his new jacket from Roots 73 (a popular Canadian store). Thanks Angela. By the way the "R" stands for rice not Roots.

International Max

Max has just completed a trip to his second international country. So far at the ripe age of 10 months, he has been to the Dominican Republic and now Canada (America's hat). We drove 11 hours to get up there for him to see his only cousins, Charis (3 yrs old) and Cadee (4 months old). We had a great time in Toronto.

The drive up was fun and beautiful with the leaves changing and Toronto is one of the best cities to visit. However our ride back wasn't as fun (Driving at night with a cranky baby through crappy Pennsylvania roads is not recommended. In fact avoid all of PA if you can). Anyways here are some pics of Max and his cousins.

Playtime with the Allen's

Open Receiver

Lucy - "Hey uncle Greg... I'm open, pass it to me!!!! I'm open!!!"


Lucy - "... thanks for nothing uncle Greg."

The Battle... for the Backyardigans ball!

Ding! Ding!... Fight!


Lucy's there first but Max is coming in for the grab...


Uh oh... Lucy takes notice of Max's move and quickly get in position for her next move.


Lucy throws in her signature "Forearm Leg Sweep" without any hesitation.

Max tries to dodge the deadly strike, but Lucy is too fast...

Max is a tough competitor but he had no chance against the older and walking Lucy...

Down he goes!

And, your winner... Lucy Katherine!

A Day In the Park...

XOXOXO

Smooch... smooch.


I heart u...


"Hello handsome..."

The Champ!

Here's a picture of me and Max getting ready for our morning jog. I found a fun 2 mile stretch around our new home and "The Champ" was ready for a real workout... sitting on his butt in his stroller.


This is from another picture that I found after I zoomed into it but here you can see all of his pearly white.
