Here is my recap of May...It was stressful/fun/crazy/sad/all the above!

Don't you love these PJ's? They remind me of the baby's on "Labrinth"

First Mother's Day!

The YW gave me a present and I cried. :( Katie and Alicia, my councilors, love them!!

We made it to VA, Happy Memorial Day!



My big 10 month old!!
Max loves stairs and climbs them faster when you chase him
He loves to blow kisses, wave and say bye bye and bite people's knees
He has stopped eating baby food :/ and is starting a snacking phase
He is standing on his own and will be walking soon against my efforts to stunt his progression. ;)

Spring

Today was just too pretty.

And so is this boy.

Champs Baby!

Duke won!

This is one smart nugget.

LOVES

I really love how big and independent Mr. Kinney is getting...

It also terrifies me.


slow down please

Private

Sorry to be so lame but I'm going to make my blog private. I've been tracking who views my blog and the same strange places in creepy countries have been popping up so I'm going to bite the bullet and limit who sees my sweet boy and his friends.

Comment with your email so I can invite you. I know this is annoying but it freaks me out and made Micah mad so...there ya go.

Happy Birthday Corinne!

Max's girlfriend Corinne turned 1!! Isn't she so cute in her new swimsuit!

We love you Corinne!!

Big Time

We've begun to pull ourselves up...

We're pretty proud if you can't tell...

7 Months

I'm a slacker.
Max is going to be 8 months this week so I thought it better be time to take his 7 month picture.

He is turning into quite the ham...

With juicy legs to prove it!

This month has been so fun with Max. He is growing into such an adorable little boy!
Some things he likes:

-not crawling forwards
-crawling backwards
-moving around in circles
-growing teeth
-not taking long naps
-girls
-when Daddy come home
-dancing
-jumping
-people kissing his hands

Kiss Me I'm Cute

Max has had a great St. Patty's Day!

Some cake balls I made for the party


All the yummy, festive treats!

Pinch at will...

What is Max going to do without his ladies when we move?

We wont think about it...

The Model

Boys Can Wear Pink.

So all of Max's friends are girls.
They wear pretty dresses, cute handmade bows, and adorable bracelets.
Max wanted accessories too so this is what I've been working on.




In a couple of sizes so he can grow into them.
Now Micah wants one.

Checking out his TWO teeth

Food. Glorious. Food.

Finally. Max loves food!
He eats solids three times a day.

He likes to clench the spoon in his gums until we start laughing.
Then he laughs and it falls out.

A Valued Consumer

Dear Huggies,

I was lured in by your awesome prices and unlimited amounts of coupons. So I bought a JUMBO box of you at Costco.

This has been the scene at my house 10 times this week. Yes, 10 and it's only Thursday. I will be giving you to my friends who like Huggies and never buying you again.

Please don't try to contact me,

Missy

p.s. I will be buying the more expensive and more awesome diapers, Pampers, tomorrow.

Why?

On a different note. Max day two with Preseptal Cellulitis. It looks so much better now that we've been putting drops in. He's on an antibiotic and was a huge hit at the clinic this morning. One of Micah's professors took a picture of him for her lectures. ;)

His duct that drains his tears still hasn't opened and they said he probably needs canalicular probing where they will sedate him and flush it open. Pretty sure I don't like the sound of that.

Let the Changes Begin!

I've always known this and now Micah and Max will too. We got our orders from the Navy and we will be stationed in the Virginia Beach area. This was our first choice because it puts us very close to both sides of our family. We couldn't be happier. Heavenly Father DOES answer our prayers!

Half a Year

So I'm a little late with Max's 6 month post but here it is:

Couldn't you just die...I love this kid!

He is sitting up SO well by himself and he's got the rolling over thing down. Now he just needs to figure out how to get to his toys.

Still no teeth and still a lot of drool!

What he likes to do with Mommy:
Fly in the air, read books, sing, play patty cake, and dance.

What he likes to do with Daddy:
Take showers, eat squash, get tickled, play on Daddy's iPhone, and sleep through Priesthood meetings.

Now I know girls clothes are cute but come on...whale pants and loafers?


At his 6 month check up on Jan. 27th:

Weight: 19 lbs=60th percentile
Height: 27 1/2 in=90th percentile
Head: 17 in=50th percentile

SNOWMAGEDDON!

Okay so it's not even close to what my family and friends have up in Virginia, but 2-4 inches down here is AWESOME!

Max couldn't wait for his first Alabama snow...

And this is what he saw outside our place...





Don't you just love a good snow day. Too bad it didn't start snowing until Micah was about to leave the clinic on his half day. Oh well!

"Mr. Big Stuff...Who do you Think you are?

Mr. Kinney showing off his muscles...


Don't be jealous.

Guess What?

I still drool a lot with no sign of any teeth, but...

Now I can sit up which means...

Bring on the injuries!
