Walking like a drunken sailor.

Max is practicing his walking. He’s getting really good, although, at times, looks a bit like a drunken sailor. It’s sooo much fun! Now that the snow is just about gone (minus the random dustings just to tick me off), Max is going outside and practicing his walking too. Makes me nervous when he falls on cement.

Anyway, as you can see, he’s on FIRE! Doing great! I have visions of him running around the yard this spring! God help us! Hee hee hee!

MAX IS WALKING!!!!

WOW! MAX IS WALKING!

He’s been taking a couple of wobbly steps here and there, but when we got back from CA, he busted his move! Of coarse, the cameras were all still in the luggage … but I got this last night. He’s doing a great job … and he’s soooo proud of himself! We’re tickled too!

California Dreamin'

We had a wonderful trip to Ventura! It was so great to be back in a “hometown” so to speak. Just awesome to see great friends and share laughs. Max traveled very well … although he was sick a bit and was fighting a fever. We think it’s probably teething. Considering, he was a trooper!

It was great that Amy let us stay at her!! What are best friends for? Loved hanging with her and Max’s Godmother, “Auntie Becky”. We always look forward to sharing time with our close friends. It was a bit of a whirl wind, trying to get a visit in with all the folks we love and miss. But we did our best!

As much as we loved the fine weather, killer food and wonderful company of friends … it’s always the best to come home. And we have reaffirmed, we love our little town of Sandpoint!

Max Stats

Max had his one year doctor's appointment yesterday. 24.7 lbs (75%). 32" tall (95%) and the noggin? Still above the 95% at 19.5"! All in all ... a very happy and healthy little boy! That's right, little boy ... or toddler ... he's not a baby anymore!

Getting ready to walk

Look at the little man go. It's gonna be just a short time before he's running circles around us!

Max and Jax ...... Creations

WOW! So Max is one ... 1!! We're still not used to that. So, it was time to go to Jax Creations to finish up our "baby package" and get Max's 1 year pictures. It's always awesome to see Jackie as she is just a lovely person to be around. She also never disappoints when it comes to her photography. It could help that I love her subject matter so much ... But seriously, he work is amazing; she does a great job of capturing Max's personality.

She posted a sneak peak at the photo session on her blog. There are going to be so many cute pictures, I'm going to have a hard time choosing!

Thank you, Jackie! We love you and can't wait to meet you new baby, "potato" in June!! :-)
