Visit to Pittsburgh

Max officially took his first plane ride this past weekend, and he did great! On the way there, he fell asleep for the first 5 minutes, but then woke up when they came over the loud speaker to say that it was ok to use "approved electronic devices". After that, he was awake and into everything! He was very squirmy and hard to control, but he did not cry, even though he has an ear infection in both ears. What a trooper! On the way home, he slept the entire time. What a good boy!

Our trip was good. We went to visit Aunt Shawnda and Uncle Barry (one of my best friends and her husband). We just did a lot of shopping and eating and he jumped around quite a bit in a borrowed exersaucer. Here are some pictures of the highlights.



One night, we took Max out to the backyard to crawl around and burn some energy. This is one picture that I caught of him. Too funny!


Sometimes Max needs to voice his opinion, and he can only do that when he screams at the top of his lungs. That is what he is doing in this picture.


Max loves to get a hold of his wipes (before they are used). Here, he has one in each hand and one in his mouth. For some reason he likes to suck on them. They are alcohol free, so I just let him do it. I guess that maybe it feels good on his teeth.


Max loved Aunt Shawnda and Uncle Barry!

More tailgating pictures

This is just a funny picture of both of our expressions.


I thought that this was a very cool picture of the boys taking it all in.


This is Phil's infamous tailgating hat. Max got a hold of it and wanted to wear it. I think it fits him perfectly!


I just love this picture. I couldn't resist sharing it.


Max met our close friend Jonesy for the first time.


Max looks like he is getting over tailgating for the day!


This is also a very cool picture of Max at the football game. I like how the sun is setting and you can see the field in the background.


Max outlasted Phil...enough said!

First tailgating experience

Last weekend, Max experienced his first IU tailgate and football game. He did very well considering we were there for 12 hours. We got to the tailgating fields at 10:30am and the game didn't even start until 8pm. We left halfway through the second quarter. The whole day I was just waiting for him to turn sour, but he did awesome. He took 2 one hour naps and "socialized" with all of our friends. Phil actually fell asleep before Max did...imagine that! Anyways, here are some pictures of the highlights. There are more on my sister in law's camera, so I will post those when I can get them.



Phil was trying to get Max to take a nap, but as you can see here, he had no interest in that. He thought he might just play in the driver's seat. Phil was actually holding him there, but you can't see that.


I don't even think this one needs a caption. It kind of explains itself. He is Daddy's boy!


Mommy got tired, too. We took a cat nap together.

Max's chores

So, I was looking at the pictures on the camera one day and surprisingly came across these pictures. Phil said, "Oh yeah, I put him in the washer one day while I did the dishes. He loved it." I was laughing so hard. I just thought they were super funny!
