Old Tucson Studios

We went to visit my cousin and her family in Tucson last weekend. We went to Old Tucson Studios (where they filmed three amigos) It was really fun!

My Birthday Cake

It was amazing! Thanks Soin!

Our big boy is sitting up now!

Uncle Ian

Max's Godfather, Ian came to visit him a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome. Max loved him.

Grass!

He liked it so much he tried to eat it...

Family Pictures

For my birthday, I wanted to get family picturs taken. My wonderful husband gave me a day at the spa where I got a facial, manicure, pedicure, and my hair styled so that I was all ready for our family picture! Anyway, I think they came out really nice. The photographer was really good at getting Max to smile.

My Little Stud

Mike's grandma has a cloth diaper business. She handmakes these amazing high quality diapers! She put the photos of Max modeling one of them on the website. If you click on the "meet the grandbabies" link, you can see Max and a slideshow with more pictures of him. Check them out!

Feel free to check out the diapers too. If you are interested in using cloth diapers, these are amazing and I highly recommend them... and I'm not just saying them because they are made by my gradma-in-law :)

Bummer...

I just found out that your baby has to be 6 months old in order to enter the Regis and Kelly contest. :/ Oh well... thanks for your opinions anyway! Maybe next year.

The time has come...

...for Max to be introduced to the wonderful world of water!

Swim lessons have officially begun. Being his mother's son, it is inevitable that Max become a swimmer (not necessarily competatively). He might be a soccer player, baseball player, runner, basketball player, or a football star like Daddy. Either way... he WILL know how to swim. That includes freestyle, backstroke, breatstroke, and yes, butterfly too... when he's naughty ;)

The two years of teaching children to swim was fun, but it is SO much more fun to teach my own sweet baby boy. He loves being in the water.

First we need to get comfortable and relaxed in the water.


Then we can roll and put increasingly more of his face into the water until he's comfortable and will hold his breath when he goes under.


REEEEAAADDDY....


GOOO......


We even practiced some dives.

He's pretty comfortable already. He smiles and laughs the whole time!

He makes Mommy smile and laugh the whole time too.

Lots of kisses are a very important part of swim lessons.

What a fun swim lesson!

After all that hard work... it comes time to chill and get a little tanny tan.

Which Picture is MOST Beautiful?

We're entering Max's picture in the Regis and Kelly most beautiful baby contest. Which picture do you think we should we use?

Picture # 2

Pizza Pizza!

We made delicious homemade pizza the other night... yes, the dough too! My new KitchenAid that my wonderful husband bought me for Christmas came with the recipe. Mmmm. It was so scrumptious! Let me know if you want the recipe so you can also enjoy the deliciousness.

Rice Cereal

Max had his first rice cereal meal on thursday night.

He wasn't too sure about it at first...but then he decided to clean the bowl! :)

4 month appt.

Max had his 4 month appointment today. He's in the 90% for his weight (17 lbs.) and 95% for his height (27 in.). He's already cut 1 tooth and the Dr. said that his two front bottom teeth will be cutting through in the next couple of days! Wow! We've got an early bloomer. He had his shots and he was a trooper... only cried for a few seconds. He gets to start rice cereal now and next month he starts vegies! Yum yum.

Chargers beat the Colts in overtime...YAY!

The Marshall Clan

Family time at Grandmother's house

Great Grandpa

Max met his great grandpa Roberto. He loved him!!! He was smiling so much at him. He loved Letty and his Aunt Denise and Mindy too. They bought him lots of cool toys for Christmas and we ate the most delicious tamales that Letty made. Mike ate five, I ate three.... :)

We can't wait to see them again.
