Of Weekends, Wonderings, and something for Pat

Ready, Set, Walk! Yep, we're walking now. I wouldn't use the word proficient, but try we do. I didn't catch him in the act this time, but here he is thinking about the deed. He seems to get excited by the idea, and falls down with excitement ; )

It finally got nice for a few days here, so we took Max outside to play for the first time. I took these so you could share in the fun. Oh, what's that? You wanted to be there playing with him? Well stop by anytime. Max won't ever turn away a playdate.

Max is getting good at waving when we say "bye-bye". He's even starting to understand what "bye-bye" means. What you don't see here is that Max is waving at cars as they come and go from the parking lot behind us. I don't think anyone actually noticed him waving at them; probably a good thing as those are the kinds of distractions that can cause fender benders : D

Max is one lucky little guy. The weekend before last, Gma and Gpa Hanson came and played with him while Mom and Dad went out with some friends.

And this weekend Mommo and Poppo came down for a quick visit. Max really enjoyed his time. Maybe next time it will be warm enough that they will bring the bike and Max can get a ride!

Here's Mommy showing Max how cool it is to crawl through the Kick and Crawl Aquarium. And it is cool. Right? Right.

And this is for Pat.

She always remarks to me how happy Max is. And while not untrue, I thought I'd share a moment when Max was definitely not happy.

This is one in a series of sad faces we are seeing more often now as he is learning "no". Gone are the days where he can charm his way into doing what ever he wants : )
