Half a Year Later

Max is 6 months, and a smiley joy.  So, he still doesn't win any sleeping awards, with his occasional nap that lasts 1 1/2 hours.  He is happily awake, though, and the calm part of life.  The first tooth has finally popped through and smooth crawling is just around the corner.  For now, he rocks on all four, lunges about, and tries his best to be with the "big boys".
Little ones are great at putting to do lists in the proper perspective. 
Below are too many pictures that look similar, but I just can't help myself from being an overly sentimental mama.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Vic

Our sweet Vic was 3 Saturday.  He is such a sweet, sweet kiddo.  Of course, he can disobey and throw a fit, but he is just sweet.  He feeds his soft toys spinach from the refrigerator.  After bath he says, "Mama, can you hold me a few minutes?"  He loves to share.  His birthday has come in the craziness of our upcoming move, but he didn't mind.

Vic and his fun personality

Vic's pal, Ellie, and her mom came for a play day/birthday party.  

Vic loved his ice cream cake.

Custom birthday pancakes are a tradition at our house.
