The Long Awaited Post

Or Posts...

Of course its been a while since my last post and yes much has happened. As to whether its super exciting, that can question can only be answered by the eye of the beholder...

First Missed post: Max's Epic Poop Exposion



This party started at the park. He was about 6 or 8 weeks old and was enjoying one of his first trips to the playground with his big brother. There were not enough wipes, clothes or blankets we had...

Second: Grayden's Halloween Costume


Actually his "Dash" costume didn't arrive until two days after Halloween. I was the saddest. Grayden was fine with being the only thing left at target in his remote size; a ninja. Not to worry however, he wears it A LOT, sometimes even in public!

Third: Max Discovers How to use Elbows


This was at least a month ago. Troy managed to get a nice pic of Max propping himself up for the first time.

Fourth: Grayden's GQ Photo Shoot




These were taken in late January with the new DSLR my dad gave me for Christmas. Grayden is not the easiest model to work with. He much prefers to be behind the camera. I had to lure him with an old camera that serves as "Grayden's camera" and take turns shooting pictures. He knows how to wind his camera so his shutter closed when takes a picture.

Side note: He loves wearing his "soup" to church. He wore it three Sundays in a row before he put anything else on and then wore again today.

Fifth: Max's First taste of Food




Grayden insisted he help feed Baby Max.

Sixth: Grayden can Dress Himself!


Well sort of. Some time over the Holiday Break Grayden figured out how to get his shorts on and off. A few weeks ago he decided he need to change his shirt. He went upstairs all by himself took off is shirt and put on his green tractor t-shirt. I didn't actually get to see him do it, but I got this picture afterwards. Its backward, but not bad for a first try. He now can fully dress himself with some assistance with socks and his left shoe. He can get the right one on without any trouble.

Seventh: Grayden MUST sit with Max in the Chair


The picture quality is not so hot, but it was the cutest...

Yeah, I'm so glad you updated your blog, and I liked how you condensed the 7 missed blog posts like you did. Hmm, good idea. That makes it seem possible, and now overwhelming, to quickly catch up!
~The poop explosion pictures are great especially b/c there was poop EVERYWHERE, even on Max's shoulder! Now that's impressive. And GQ Grayden, I love the suit coat!

You are right. That poop was EPIC!

Grayden makes the cutest little GQ model. I love his "soup" too.
