WOW this growth group night was so amazing. We got to spend time with our sweet Haley and her wonderful family. And by the way or sweet Haley is getting around great and looks super good these days. And Mr. Landon put on a great show for us. I still laugh when I think of his bear noise!!! ooooo and that sweet baby Reid (I could just eat him up. . . good thing i ate before visiting) I am just so happy for the McGrew Crew and I am so blessed to call that family of 4 friends.

NOt ReaDy

So we just went and enrolled Max in Mother's Day out for this coming school year. And man did it make me sad. It reminded me that our days of spending every waking moment together are coming to an end.

I really did not think this would be so hard, but man I tear up when I think of not spending my days with him. Last summer when I had him we bonded and it was hard to go back to work, but this time it feels different. We have formed this stronger bond, we have our own language (you know the kind that only mommy can understand). He is such a part of me I do everything with him by my side. I just don't know how i am going to handle this. As a teacher I am use to see the kids crying when they are dropped off, but in Max's case I think mommy will be the one crying and he will be telling me its ok. However, the people at the MDO are every nice and he felt right at home with them when we went up there to meet everyone. He was actually bummed that he could not stay today and play with everyone. And i know that this will be a great experience for him I am just having a little mommy moment.

Fireworks at the Watson's

We had a blast this 4th!!!! This year Max was old enough to stay and enjoy the fireworks, well at least the 1st part!!!



t he guys are trying to figure out how they are going to light everything with out starting a fire this year. . . really that is a tradition that we need to stop


mAX doesn't think the fireworks are all that grand so he ops for a nap instead


Max is bummed he can't help light the fireworks



His first sparkler

Stealing snacks from all the guests


Sitting with Mommy . . . really he is trying to figure out how he can get his hands on the fireworks


Helping daddy drive the fireworks to the back of the land to shoot them

Now this is my kinda party :)

It must be a man thing but my little guy can fall asleep anywhere at anytime.

Even when he was a newborn we would put him in the car seat and out he went
Still once he is in he is out!!!

Not even some sand could stop this nap


this boy would really love a water bed (focus on the baby not the oversized mommy)

He even naps in between bites

Loud Fireworks could not keep this guy up!!!




Really I just don't get it. I have to have my pillow and my bed, but not Max!!!! My mom tells me its a guy thing and now that I think about it she might be right. The guys are the ones that always seem to snooze in the couch after family dinners and during Sunday football.

Updates

HOuse upDates

Well we are living in our dream home and it is great!!!! The challenge now is getting everything moved from where we were storing it and unpacking. Last time we moved into a house we have everything unpacked and ready to go in one weekend. This time it is a different story. We have lived here almost a month annd there are still boxes in the garage and rooms unorganized. But I have to remind myself this time last month we were living in 600 square feet so are doing great even if there are still boxes all over the place. So praise for the new house!!!!!!


Family upDate

Well Max is now 1 o my!!! And boy is he keeping Timmy and I busy. We are so worn out at 8 it is so amazing. Now that he is a big boy we have started giving him whole and we are limited his bottles. Today was the first day that he did not have a bottle and well its been a day. He did not take a nap so he was really fun late in the afternoon. However he went to sleep right at 8:30 like we have been doing this week. So we are doing better with the schedule stuff. But I with all the vacations that we are about to go on we may go to letting him have the night time bottle just so things don't seem to weird. I guess we will just have to play it by ear.

So we had his one year check up and well my baby is a bobble head. He is average for heigth 30 inches and weight 23 pounds (I so would of thought he was more) and he is in the 90th percentile for his head :) So I assume that means big head equals smart kid. And now he is in the forward facing car seat!!! O my my baby is getting so big and so cute, it seems like he looks more and more like his handsome daddy. :)
