Binkie Junkie


He passed out getting his fix. Note hole in foot of jumper.

Holiday Photos


You can't see it but Max's shirt says "Ho Ho Ho".


The three kings visit Max.


Mel at the square. She hugs the Christmas tree at every visit.





This is Mel at her preschool X-mas "Songfest". We are so very proud.

Spare clothes


Mel had a little accident in daycare so they put her in the only clothes that fit. She hates dresses but looked pretty cute in this too-small number. Even better with the Converse-like sneakers.

17 lbs at 3 months

Max Discovers Hands, Rejoices

Good sleeper



We paid our dues with Mel. Max is no trouble putting down for a nap or bed (so far).

"Doghouse"


All the pillows and blankets Mel could find were used to make the roof of the doghouse. Dad IS the doghouse underneath.

Exersaucer


Max has been pulling up from reclining position and we're taking it as a sign he wants to sit up. That's what the Exersaucer is for. He's still a little wobbly so I've put padding around him.

Out Cold

Hair Cuts


Dapper Fellow


The dragon shoes are fierce.

Mel Lays Out


...a bit short of the mark. Football is a few feet to the right.

Max Talks

...or hyperventilates. We're not sure.

Maxman


Another pathetic attempt by 2 parents to get their newborn to smile for the camera. In case you don't recognize it Max has a theme song to the tune of Batman.

Trying on Barney


This was before Halloween when Mel tried on the Barney suit for the first time. She wanted so much to see the back that she chased her tail like a puppy dog. I tried to recreate it for the video and it wasn't as funny. She does report that her tail is "doing fine".

Max Laughs - briefly


We can't seem to capture his giggle fits on video. Once he sees the camera he fixates on it.

Worms!



Sorry... a sideways video again.
We went to a fall festival at a nature center. The nice guy with a vermiculture display let the kids dig in and play with the dirt and worms. I'd be surprised if any worms survived the invasion.

Mom as baby


Max looks like me? Maybe only in the bewildered expression.

Signature Look

3 Men


Just chatting it up with the guys. Or in Max's case spitting it up.
