Went bouldering and took a hike today.

New Carpet

Good bye cat pee carpet, hello new carpet smell!

Tristan's Dad convinced us of the dire need for new carpet on our lower level. Especially in Max's room. Unfortunately, I think we had gotten used to the smell. So two weekends ago, we moved everything out of the downstairs, ripped up the old carpet (thanks John!), had the whole downstairs painted, and finally the new carpet was installed last Tuesday. It is pretty "boring" by our standards, but it doesn't smell like cat pee and I am willing to walk on it without shoes, so we'll take it!

Rockin the Sub Pop

This is the Sub Pop onesie that our good friend Sam got Max when he was first born. Max is just now able to fit into it.

First Boating Outing

Max went on his first boat ride this last weekend. He totally loved it. He made motor boat sounds the whole time, except when he was falling asleep from the sound of the real motor and rocking/jarring of the boat. His life jacket was so funny. I think he liked that he didn't have to hold up his head which made it easier for him to fall asleep on the boat.

6 month photo shoot

Can you believe it's been just over 6 months! Max might be a light weight (he's only 14 some pounds), but he's one happy little kid.
