Max Update

Max is getting to be a big boy.......He now weighs 17 lbs 4 oz and is 25 1/4 inches long.  He can reach the floor in his bouncy seat and loves to jump.  He rolls over both directions.....but gets stuck a lot.  He holds on to toys and into his mouth they go.  What a champ!!

Elliott and the Pumpkin Patch

 


Elliott's extended visit to my house was the perfect time for a visit to the Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch.

It was a beautiful day for a drive, picking the way through a hay maze, taking a hay ride out to the pumpkins and  walking through the patch to choose just the right pumpkin.  Elliot found the one he liked which he thought looked just like a snowman.

After choosing the pumpkin Elliott liked best (thank goodness it wasn't too huge as I had to carry it for awhile) we headed home.  He had his choice of how to fix the pumpking and decided he would like to paint it rather than carve it......and of course he chose a snowman motif!!

I painted one side with his guidance and he painted the other side by himself.  You probably can't tell them apart!

The Bath Blizzard!!!!

Elliott is visiting me for a few days.......and we are having "Special Just Grandma and Elliott Time!!"

I made the best garage sale purchase ever and this is the first chance I have had to try it out.  It is called the "Bath Blizzard".....fits over the faucet in the bathtub and makes AMAZING bubbles.  Elliott is now the cleanest little boy in Western Washington!!  He loves it......even after several baths!!

Max at 8 months!!

Max is 8 months old today!!  Wow!  We still have to remind ourselves that his corrected age is MUCH MUCH younger! He is doing really well.....weights over 16 1/2 pounds, is off of all oxygen, smiles and 'talks' a lot, rolls over (sometimes) and communicates VERY well when things are not going his way!! 

Birthday Girl Norah

Norah celebrated her 4th birthday on Saturday.  She had a great time sharing this important event with aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and friends....her parents and siblings were there too!!

Norah loves dress-up and princess things. Grandma (ME!) found some princess dresses and a castle.........

Here she is with her cakes and her response when asked "How old are you now?"
