-Coming Soon- Just us 4!

Well, a lot has happened since I have last blogged about our little family. Max turning 1, expecting baby boy #2 any day - but I think I am going to try to start this blog back up. As you can see Max is the most adorable thing ever and he still is, now we have another one coming - any day now - to add to the cuteness. It's going to take some time but I will get this started again. Hang tight!

Mini Macaroni Man!

I just took a few pictures I thought I would post from this morning. Well afternoon I guess - he was eating macaroni for lunch and it was BAD! hee hee

He loves it though - we are doing good, he is keeping us SUPER busy but he has learned so many things. He kisses, claps, crawls really fast and then sits up all on his own on his butt and eats just about everything we eat that is mushy, except meat!

Merry Christmas 2008!

Our little Elf, Christmas morning

This presents mine Mom! (and it really was!!!)

Can't wait to open it... What a sweetheart!

Max in his adorable 'Baby's First Christmas' jammies Gramma Harvey bought for him. We changed him into them for gift opening!

This box was a great 'gift'!!!! THANX

This paper is yummy, nevermind the HUGE Tonka truck under it! As Macy looks on, she wants to know what's underneath!
Yay, the Tonka truck!
All this gift opening is making me tired...

Gramma Harvey with her grandbabies

**Will post more in a new post! :)

Here are some pictures from over the last few weeks! Mostly Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - we had a blast, Max was so much fun and ate his share of bows, that's for sure! I will write up a post later but for now i am trying to be patient while it takes 45 minutes for 5 pictures to upload. I heard a nasty rumor high speed internet was making its way here. Someday soon - we shall see! =)Christmas Eve, just before leave for Great Gramma Patt's

Max on Santa's lap - he was loving it! Didn't cry at all...

Careful for the beard there Santa!

Our little family, just before going across the street to Gram's house.

My little ham!

Stay At Home Mom of a 7 Month old!

I know - it has been forever, but stay at home Mommy work is tough stuff! :) I'm loving it though and we are doing good - trying to get into a routine here but Max has other plans, it's almost as if he is saying - hey I can play with Mom ANY TIME of the day I want too. Even from 2-4.............. am! Last night was the first night in 3 weeks that he has slept through the night. He slept from 8-5:30, ate a bottle and then slept from 6-8. Not bad, not bad! I can't even begin to tell you all how much he has learned! He has been crawling since 5 months and now at just 7 months he is doing everything in his power to walk... Yes, walk! He walks with his walker across the kitchen and dining room and rides the laundry basket across the rooms as well, anything that isn't attached to floor is fair game as a walker. I tried to upload video but I can't on my computer as it is slow as molasses - I will be lucky to get pictures downloaded, as it took me 45 minutes just for these 4 :(!

Christmas is upon us and I am officially done shopping - started wrapping presents last night and got most of the way done. I am SO excited for Christmas this year. It will be our first with Maxwell on the outside world! LOL - I was just 4 months pregnant with Max last year at this time and still a little on the sick side, but enjoyed Christmas nonetheless! We always split holidays between my parents and Levi's parents so we will be doing that again this year, until Max is big enough then we will be staying at our house for most of the morning. Since I was born our tradition on the Harvey side was to go to Gramma Patt's on Christmas Eve and do presents and food and hang out with the Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Then a little later into the night my Mom, Dad, Sister and I would walk home (we lived across the street) and prepare for Santa's arrival. Christa and I always left Oreo's and milk out for Santa and were so excited when they were gone in the morning. I was probably more excited than her because I am sure by this point she already knew the truth ;) But imagine my excitement when they were gone in the morning and the tree was FILLED with presents! How I never put two and two together sooner that my Dad's favorite snack was Oreo cookies and milk? To this day he still eats them every night before bed, you wouldn't believe me if I told you but there hasn't been a day that has passed since my Dad was about 20 years old that he hasn't had Oreo's and milk before bed. My Mom has pictures of my Dad on his birthday when they first married and she got him a few bags of Oreo's, how cute is that??? Anyhow - fast forward to this year and it will be my 26th year going to my Gramma's on Christmas Eve with my family and for the last 8 I have gotten to take Levi with me. This year will mark Max's first and I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing this with him! It may be the last year that we stay at my parents house on Christmas Eve night as well so it is very bittersweet for me too as both Levi and I have spent the night at my parents every Christmas Eve since we have been together - which will be 9 years this June!

Ok, so now you all know about our tradition and how excited I am for Christmas I will post the few pictures I was able to upload. Max is just getting so big and to dang smart already! He was 7 months last Thursday and we love him more and more and more everyday - this is just the beginning!!!!
Maxwell had his first fever last week after he got his 6 months shots (he is on a later schedule) and the first half of the flu shot - a dose of Tylenol and cold wash cloth later, he was feeling much better, but it scared me all to pieces! 102.5 was high enough for me!
Sportin' the washcloth for playtime!
My little wiggles worm has figured out how to climb up on this table and crawl all over it!

Hey Ma - look what I'm about to do!!!!

Those are allthe pictures I have for now - I will post another post later today or tomorrow with nothing but pictures. I have a lot but because it takes so long I have to start them and just walk away, and I can only do 5 at a time. But hopefully that will help you all get a Max fix in the meatime :)

Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday - Wow, 2009 is nearing. How many of you are going to write '08 for the first 4 months? ;o)

~Levi, Lindsey, and Maxwell~
