Touchdown

I'm getting around so much better now!

First Christmas Tree

 

We setup the Christmas tree when Max was in bed. This is video of the first day he viewed the tree.

The month of December

Here are some pictures in preparation of our first Christmas with Maximus. We opted for a live 3 foot Christmas tree. Thank goodness we went this route, cause he tipped it over 3 times. He was mesmerized with the Christmas village. Can't wait for the big day!!

Who says we don't have beautiful days in December along the Oregon coast? Here's proof.....

Haircut

I had great intentions of taking Maximus to visit Bubba at Bubba's Barbershop (Dave's childhood friend) for his first haircut. Then I realized how  unrealistic this is when he's only 11 months old and desperately needs a haircut. He won't sit still long enough to give him a haircut like a big boy. So, Mama cut it for him. I guess I didn't go to beauty school for no reason. I tried cutting his hair in his highchair while eating lunch, but that didn't work. So, I cut it while he slept. Didn't cut much, but now he can see.

Thanksgiving!

I forgot to post pictures of Maximus's first Thanksgiving! Better late than never....

Thanksgiving Cioppino

Hmm... It's not turkey, but salmon is good too!
