Hexter Howl 5k

This weekend Deanna, Douglas, and I ran in the Hexter Howl 5k. Max got pretty tuckered out from taking in all the sights and sounds, and fell asleep about half-way through the run. As soon as we crossed the finish line, he woke back up ready for more entertainment. He was a great stroller buddy!

Pumpkin Patch

Aunt Sarah, Max, and I went to the Pumpkin Patch on Monday. It was a great day. The weather was gorgeous, it wasn't too crowded, and Max got to take home his own 'baby' pumpkin.

Go Hunter!

We watched Max's cousin Hunter play football on Thursday night. It was a cold and windy night, but a lot of fun cheering for the Indians.

Random Fun

Here's a bunch of different pictures from the past week that I'm just now getting around to posting!
Reading with Grandma
and Aunt Sarah
Getting squeezes from Aunt Deanna
Talking to his friend
Determined to get that toy in his mouth
Determined to get a Dorito in his mouth
In his own little world Sitting in Mommy's chair
Max gets super excited when I turn on music. If he's on his playmat he turns his head toward the radio and squirms his way over to it. One of his new discoveries is dumping these toys out of their container, and then playing with the container. The beginning of messes...
Max's book has pictures of baby's showing different emotions. If his face were in the book, I believe it would be titled annoyance! He was VERY ready for me to put the camera away.
Max has become very aware of Libby. Whenever she walks into the room Max stops what he is doing to watch her. He thinks she's pretty funny.

Meal Time

Max loves to sit with us at the table during meal time. He's very good at participating in the conversation, and usually gets pretty entertained by Douglas!

5 Months Old

Max is another month older today! It's been so much fun seeing his little personality develop, and figuring out his likes and dislikes.
He likes putting EVERYTHING in his mouth.He doesn't like missing all the fun that happens outside of his crib.

He likes getting kisses - especially on his cheeks and neck.

He doesn't like to be still - hence the rocking chair.

He likes the outdoors - after his first ride in the jogging stroller.
