Gag-er-iffic

It seems that someone is developing a charming gag reflex for anything that does not resemble sweet orange vegetables or fruit. This evening I began with zucchini, that did not go well. Then lentils mixed with potato and carrots, nope. Option #3 a jar of Heinz chicken dinner, I tasted it and I gagged! #4 was a mix of flavored cereal with a touch of applesauce, down the hatch...and right back up again...drama.

The menu options were running out, but fortunately I had one lonely jar of apples and apricots in the pantry which was polished off in mere minutes.

While I am glad that tonight our little one has gone to bed with a full belly...what the heck am I going to feed him tomorrow?!

knock knock

who's there?

orange

orange who?

orange we glad Max likes sweet potatoes, squash and carrots!

Oh my god we need to restock the veggie drawer!

Max has a preference for the orange veggies, can't you tell? Just look at that little nose!!

happy halloween! may the force be with you...

"...Max...I am you father..."

a puppy for max

I remember saying that I didn't want a lot of toys taking over our house, particularly toys that are loud and sing grating little tunes that become ingrained instantly and play over, and over, and over again in your head...well friends, I will admit that while this new toy is exactly 'all of the above' it doesn't matter when you get a reaction like this.

Oh how we love our little man!

a little too quiet

Oh nap time, how I love you in the middle of our day. This is my time, an opportunity to tidy up, prep dinner and maybe even flick through a magazine and write an email or two. Our house feels cozy and hushed for this hour. Today, however, things felt just a little too quiet, a little too quickly so I had a peek to make sure all was well with Max in his little nest...

Busted! Sitting up no less! He burst into a fit of giggles as soon as he was discovered.

Can you see the mischief in his eyes?

After a few more giggles, I managed to settle him and get him lying back down again - this is how I left him...

...I was convinced that my hour would soon be up and there may not be an afternoon nap in store for us today. After a few minutes though I went back up, peeked in the door and phew! he was fast asleep.

month 8...just a day late!

Here we go again...another month down - holy. We were much too busy for blogging yesterday - here is a little glimpse of what Max was up to on his 8 month Birthday.

A car ride...

hide...

and seek!

Home again, practicing crawling techniques.

Reading.

Playing. Wait a second, that camera looks much more interesting...

just about got it...

On to a new game! I can see that this bin is going to be very handy...not too much mischief in here!

This little man is getting busy - let me tell you! We are looking forward to seeing him crawling for the first time...but really, not in a huge hurry for this folks! We will have to make a mad dash to Toys R' Us for baby gates when the time comes...oy. Teeth have yet to surface, maybe we will see little fangs on Halloween! Speaking of Halloween, we are looking forward to celebrating this holiday with a little one and maybe, just maybe, Carmon and I will have costumes this year so stay tuned!

Enjoy this beautiful, colorful autumn everyone!

happy thanksgiving!
