Mischief in his eyes

Overgrown

We lent Max's bouncer to a friend for her new baby, but Max wanted one last turn. It was like the Chris Farley skit "Fat Man, Little Coat."

Can't wait to meet her!

Hide&seek

Max is really into crawling under, over, around, and behind things.

we had a photo shoot today with Max since he was in a preppy outfit and it was snowing outside and it'd been awhile since the last one. Lots of updates for everyone...Max has teeth finally, you can see his two middle bottom teeth poking through in some of the photos, but he also has his two upper vampire teeth as well. Those are harder to get a photo of, but it's pretty funny when you do see them. He's also getting close to walking. You can see that he's able to stand on his own and he can squat and stand up. Now it's just a matter of time before he starts moving his feet. No words yet, but we think he's close to saying dog. As for me, I found a new job. I started 3 weeks ago, but just haven't let the blog know. I'm working for HunterDouglas Facades. So far it's been a really nice change and a better atmoshpere for me.

Max has been super talkative lately. For the last few weeks he's been making this  super cute sound that he does a little bit in this video. We finally realized we need to get it recorded before he stops doing it.

This year we're very thankful to be surrounded by terrific friends.

Its been awhile

Laid off.

Some may have heard, but for others, I was laid off from my job on Monday. Fortunately for me, I have this incredibly cute kid and great wife, to lift my spirts. I mean, come on, how can you not feel good looking at this little guy? 

I currently have a small side project that I'm working on (though now without a job I can't really call it a side project.) I've been interviewing and looking for a job for the last few months, as I saw this day coming. No luck, yet, but if the economy didn't suck, I feel I'd have a couple of job offers already. I'm currently waiting and keeping my fingers crossed for a job I interviewed for on Tuesday. Should hear back tomorrow hopefully. Send positive vibes my way...

Also, I changed a few things on the "Good Stuff" links on the side. Moved the Mid-century mod-ification blog to another location, and everyone should check out utahmodern.org.

Stair Climber

Max has been working on this for a couple of weeks now, and as you can see, he's pretty pumped to show everyone.

You can also hear, as he nears the summit, how the altitude here in SLC affects him.

new walker

We got this walker for Max a little bit after Christmas. And like all the other toys we got him he showed interest for a few minutes and then moved on. Now, he'll take a few steps with it, but then realize he can crawl a lot faster.

New Swing

Max got a new swing from Omi and Papa for Christmas. We hung it in his playroom until it gets warmer.

Georgetown or Duke?

Mary Rose and Gina are going to have to duke it out. No pun intended.
