33 Weeks

I love...

being involved with whatever is going on. If my Mom is folding laundry or ironing, I love to watch. And when Papa is fixing stuff around the house, I am fascinated by what he is doing.

  

I also enjoy playing with my toys - especially ones that have rattles, I LOVE music...Mama plays big band & vocal standards a lot and I listen to smooth jazz in my room on the ipod. And of course, you know that my Papa played Journey all the time when Mama was pregnant. So, I enjoy listening to that in the car. Oh, and when I'm really in a fit, Michael Bublé calms me down, or even static on the radio. My Mama also sings songs to me all the time, such as: Jesus Loves Me, My God is So Great, The Wise Man Built is House Upon the Rock, and even a made up song.

Papa is MY hero. I love him SO much! We like to rough house and laugh. Mama will oftentimes remind him that it's time for me to go to bed and to not get me all riled up, but I will ALWAYS remember the fun times with my Papa...and how he makes me want to grow up to be a strong, loyal & generous, just like him.

On the note of sleep. I take short naps. Most of them are about 45 minutes long and Mama likes me to take 3 a day. Sleeping at night is over-rated. I prefer waking up every 3 hours or so. What can I say?? I'm thirsty for milk! And before the crack of dawn, I'm up...5:30 am is usually the time. My Mama doesn't understand why I get up SO early, but it's because I want to see Papa before he goes to work.

I love lights. The kitchen and bathroom are some of my favorite places to sit in my little bouncy chair. Speaking of my bouncy chair. I can really get that thing going up and down. I kick my legs up and down and just about bottom out the seat. I really get going when Mama starts acting goofy or dances around.

Give me a blanket, a burp cloth, a pillow or anything with fabric and I'm content. Oh, and please do NOT cut off the tags to anything. Most people think they are a nuisance, and rip out those care labels, but that's the best part of a stuffed animal or hat, or ANYTHING. Tags are the best!

I could go on and on about other stuff...
but I need to get back to my nap.

Happy day!

Hello everyone...How's your Monday going? 

Happy day!

Whew...what a week! We finished moving into our new place, but still need to get settled. I'm really excited about my new room. I'm on the 3rd floor and have a pretty nice view. I think my parents are a little jealous.

What else have I been up to? Well, I am pretty good about sitting on my own, but do take an occasional tumble. And the big news is that I've been teething and my two front bottom teeth are coming in. That's about all for now.

My Mama wanted me to tell you that she misses all of you and hopes to be back visiting your blogs in the next week or two.

Happy day!

Hi guys, it's me...Maximus. What have I been up to you ask? I'm moving!!! Yep, you heard right, but of course, my Papa & Mama are coming along with me. We have been busy packing, cleaning and moving lots and lots of stuff. If I had it my way, I'd take a few toys and a pack of diapers and call it a wrap, but the grown ups seem to need a lot more than I do. Oh well...it's all good. And we will be in our new place this coming weekend. I can't wait!

Mama wanted me to tell you that she really wants to come by and say hi to all of you, but she has lots to do. She said she's going to be MIA for awhile. Oh...don't you worry, I'll be back too and so will my friend Kooky...and we'll be on to new adventures.

Happy day!
Maximus & hi-d
