Cold and dreary February

Since we have been stuck inside so much with cold snowy weather, I have had to think of creative things to do with Max to keep him busy. Finger painting, paint with water, coloring with crayons, cooking with cheerios, books, bowling, baking cookies, etc...We have had a few melt downs and a couple of time outs, but for the most part he has been good. There is a picture of him below in time out, in the corner facing the wall. Molly has been good too, playing in her exersaucer, swing, and jungle gym. She loves to talk all the time, smile, laugh and watch her big brother run around the house. Max is 18 months old and Molly is 4 months, time sure has flown by!!

First Haircut

We took Max to Short Cuts for Kids to get his first official haircut. I have trimmed it in the past, but it was needing a fresh cut from a professional. He did great and we were in and out in 10 minutes. Molly hung out in her car seat, watching her big brother. She's starting to lose her hair these days, but she's still cute as can be!

Snow Day!

We got a few inches of snow last week, nothing like the snow The Jefferies had, but enough to play in. This was Max's first time playing in it, and it was love at first sight. My little man could run and play in it all day long. And I do mean ALL day long. He threw quite a fit when we brought him inside. His gloves wouldn't stay on, so his hands were freezing and his mouth was blue. He loved eating it, laying in it, sledding in it, I could go on. Eventually I got the idea to bring a bucket of snow inside and let him play with it in the kitchen. This seemed to be a hit with Max, so he could enjoy the snow, and Damon and I didn't have to freeze outside.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Santa was good to Max this year!! He received tons of toys and clothes. His favorite toys so far are his wagon, basketball goal, mickey mouse, guitar, piggy bank, and aqua doodle. Bon Bon and Grandpa gave him a table and chair set and he loves to eat every meal at it, just like a big kid. Molly enjoys her new teething rings and books. Max became obsessed with Rudolph and wanted to watch it everyday. He loved the abominable snow monster and screamed everytime he came on. Damon and I enjoyed watching Herbie the Elf talk about how he wanted to be a dentist. Hopefully Max will forget about Rudolph until next year!
