Typical night

This is what a typical night at our house is like...

slamming things into walls, walking, trying to bite the dog's tail, chasing the dog, laughing, babbling, screaming, slamming doors, sliding doors, and hanging out.

Steak night.

Baby Steps!

The little guy has finally figured out he can walk! Only takes a few steps at a time, but he's getting there!

Scariest Article I Have Read in A Long Time

The current climate situation on the planet may be as severe as the worst-case scenarios predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which issued warnings in 2007 of a future beset by flooding, drought, storms and mass extinction of species.

Sorry Max, this makes my heart hurt... Can anyone explain to me while people still dispute climate change? I honestly don't understand.

Measure Max

My mom made this measuring board for Max and brought it out to us when she came for Max's 1st birthday. We sort of forgot to measure him on his birthday, but we finally got around to it the other night. Max was more interested in trying to get the camera than he was in standing up straight.

Karla & Rick visit

Our friends Karla & Rick came out to visit. We took this picture just before they left for the airport, so I'm not exactly sure why Max has such a big smile...

Big top party

Max had his first birthday party today! He was super excited and was so happy that for those that made it to help celebrate, but missed those who couldn't make it. The underlying motif was a circus, but due to the weather we weren't able to provide the elephant and tiger petting zoo we had hoped for.

Max's First Birthday!

Can you believe that Max is already 1! Thank you everyone who sent gifts and cards and called. Max had a great time with his cake, and Omi and great-grandmas. We're all looking forward to his big party this Sunday, more photos will be forthcoming...

3 of Max's favorite things: crawling under things, things he can shake and make noise with (those blocks rattle), and smiles.

Winter Hike

Max and I took a little hike up the canyon above our house today. Man, I am out of shape. He was in another of his chill moods, I was hoping that he'd be all hyper and want to crawl around in the snow, but he was ready for a nap and just sat there. All in all though, it felt good to get out in the snow and mountains with the little guy.
