Ah, family photos...

After some nagging from Mom, we decided to gather over Easter weekend and have some family pictures snapped at the farm.

Some were unhappy,

Some would've shot you,

but some of us were super pumped!

Max's Snowy Day...

Christmas Time in Michigan!

New pictures of Max & Leah, Leah and Max.

Jacob's Birthday!

Rolling into Squash

Max likes squash so much, that he grabs my hand and feeds himself if I'm taking too long! What a boy-genius he is...

...and Mimi gives some great rolling lessons!

Make new friends, but keep the old...

Some of Maxwell's newest friends include his toes, his ears,
cereal, baby food, Winnie the Pooh...



...his seahorse gloworm, his thumb, and the two teeth that have recently popped through his bottom gums.

Not to worry, the definitely has not forgotten about his good friends, binki and Mr. Zebra. :)

Christmas

For Christmas, all of the Snell cousins came to town, and all the kids had great fun together. When Santa came, Max was more than happy to eat his beard.

Christmas Joy!

The cutest little reindeer that I ever did see...

We enjoyed looking at Bing... until he started to sing and dance...

Mr. Bumbo.

BUMBO TIME!! Just recently Maxwell started sitting in his Bumbo chair. It's funny because part of the time he loves it, but as soon as he's done being in that seat, he means he is DONE. He arches his back and throws a wawa baby fit. :) Also, he has recently discovered his feet/toes. He always grabs them now and if he can't get them, he just stares at them.

Just for the record...

...Maxwell likes President Elect Barack Obama (even though Grandpa didn't like his shirt).

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

This is a bit late, I know...

For Halloween this year, Maxwell had a double costume! Since his skunky was only a shell and a hat, we found a black sleeper to put underneath it, which had a tail, ears, etc. Also, in celebration of All Hallows Eve, I insisted on carving a huge pumpkin, stripping Max down to the onsie, and putting him inside. It's something that I thought was great, but Jacob found to be a bit strange. :)

Rub-a-dub-dub!

This is Max's first tubby bath after his stinkin' belly button came out of hiding. Mimi came over to put him into his Pooh tub and he loved. He loves to splash around in the bath whenever I'll let him and he gets mad when it's time to get out. :)

Smiggles!

Smiles and giggles and smiggles! Maxwell smiled at 5 weeks and continues to do so every day. He also likes to make little baby noises all the time. He is the cuteness!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See...

Here are a few pictures of our baby bear. I swear, the bear suit is like Advil PM for this baby. As soon as we put him in it, he falls asleep and spits out that binky. Plus, he's just so darn cute in it..see for yourself....
