It's definately a baby girl!!!!

Well I am way to impatient to wait another 4 weeks for another ultrasound so I went in today for a 4d ultrasound. It is definately a little girl!! We are very excited!!

Halloween Festivities!!

Carving Pumpkins with daddy!!

Maximus helping daddy clean out the pumpkins

He really liked his suckers!!

We didn't take maximus trick or treating this year but we dressed him up and let him pass candy out to the trick or treaters. It was a big hit!! He liked seeing all the costumes (especially the girls). He also liked the fact that daddy decided that since it was halloween he could have as many suckers as he wanted I think he ended the night with six. We had a really good time.

It's a ...............

Girl??? Maybe ??The doc said don't go buy any girl things yet but she is pretty sure it is a girl. She is going to do another ultrasound at my next appt to be sure. So I guess we are still in the waiting game.

Happy Halloween

Maximus and I traveled to kentucky this weekend to attend the cheeks halloween bash. We had a great time and look forward to next weekend.

My little climber

Maximus has become quite the climber these days. He has discovered that he can use his toys as step stools.

Cookie Cutters

There is a really cute place here to get small kids hair cuts. It's called cookie cutters and they are so friendly and well experienced at cutting young ones hair. They get to sit in a vehicle of choice and they each have their own t.v. so they can watch a dvd or play video games while they get their hair cut. This is maximus's first trip he has been back a couple times since.

Fun at Dollywood

We were at Dollywood over labor day weekend with some family and friends. It started to get hot later in the day so I decided to see if maximus would like playing in a sprinkler park that they had there. Needless to say he loved it and I had to drag him away after about an hour.

Pics of baby #2

We had our first ultrasound on tuesday. We are measuring right on target. Our estimated due date is March 19th, 2008. So far so good!

Maximus's first bday photos!!

Maximus had his first bday pics taken a few weeks ago and I just haven't had time to upload them but here you go!!

Baby #2 coming this Spring!

Maximus's Kentucky Bday Party!!

We did a nemo pool party in Kentucky. Uncle Jim madue us snow cones and smoothies they were so good!! Maximus isn't much of a swimmer but a good time was had by all.

Maximus's florida party

Maximus will be turning one next thursday, which makes mommy very sad. It went by way too fast. Since we would not be in florida for his birthday we did cake and ice cream at Aunt Donna's house for him.

Daddy is a chief resident now!!

Daddy is in his fifth and final year as a resident at osu!!!! He may still do a fellowship at osu for one more year. We will know more about that in August. He has also been doing some job interviewing. This past weekend we traveled to florida for a interview at South Florida Baptist Hospital in south tampa.

Mothers day pics

We had some professional pics done at ten months and also incorporated some mothers day pics.

A day at the park

I am a little behind in my blogging so I will try and catch up some tonight. We have a really cool play area in our subdivision right below our house so we decided to take maximus. He wasn't to thrilled at first but warmed up quickly.

Daddy helped him on the slide.

Maximus is 11 months!

Maximus is 11 months and all over the place. Here are a couple of shots I took of him yesterday playing in the living room.

We Have a Walker !!!!

Oh we are in for it now maximus has started walking! He has been cruising around the furniture for about a month now but in the last couple of days he has gotten a little braver and has started letting go and walking. He is 10 months old.

Brushing his teeth

Maximus now has four teeth. He is working on getting more everyday so we decided it would be good to introduce good hygiene early.

Mommy's Little Spy!

Maximus likes to look out the window and see what the neighbors are doing. Mommy has to keep the blinds pulled partially up so he can see out or he takes care of them himself.

Almost there!!!

Maximus is getting so close to walking on his own now it's crazy! He just needs to get a little braver and he will have it! As you can see though he gets around just fine with the help of some toys! The video looks as though it is in fast forward mode but he is actually moving that fast. That's part of the reason he can't walk yet he wants to run instead.

Learning new tricks!!

Maximus is at the stage were he likes to watch you very intently and mimic what you do. It is so cute I love the stage. Here is a video of a couple things he has learned in the last few days.

Working on Walking !!

Oh are we in for it now!! We visited in florida a week ago and since we have been home maximus has been growing by leaps and bounds. I guess he just needed the florida sunshine to give him that extra boost. The first day we were home he pulled up and sat on his knees which he had never done before. Now in just a weeks time he is pulling to a standing position, walking along the furniture and is Mr. go go go. I have a feeling mommy and daddy are going to have a very busy summer trying to keep up with him. He has also decided to get four to six top teeth all at once which has made him just a bit miserable. He has one front tooth through and two side teeth peeking out. Needless to say he has not been his normal happy self.

Maximus's first Easter

We spent easter in kentucky this year. Unfortunately daddy had to work. The easter bunny came sunday morning before church. Max liked checking out all his new stuff.

Bath time fun!

Maximus hair is getting super long. We decided to give him a mohawk now during bath time to see how big it would be.

Snow Days!!

I have been a really bad blogger lately so I will try and get everyone caught up. A couple weeks ago we were under a blizzard warning and ended up having around 14 inches of snow, c.r. had to miss work but we took full advantage off it. I know maximus is a florida boy for sure now he hated being out in the snow. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed snow tubing behind Uncle Tony's truck until the tube popped. It was so much Fun!! It was also a great reminder to us how much we miss florida and want to move back.

Maximus loves his binky!

Maximus loves his binky!! He will try and overcome great obstacles to have it in his mouth.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

I know I am a little late posting. I hope everyone had a great valentines day! C.R. got me a beautiful vase of flowers and we went to eat sushi! YYYUUUMMMMM!!!!!!

Maxiumus has two teeth!!

Max's two bottom teeth came in last month, but now that are tall enough for me to get a picture.

Mommy's working from home!!

I have finally found a work from home job. I went through a company called arise. If anyone wants to check them out the website is arise.com. They are actually a legitimate company. I am currently going through training to do carnival cruise reservations. It's great because I have to give them 20 hrs minimum a week, but I get to pick my hours.

Maximus Laughing

Maximus loves to laugh! He thinks his mommy is crazy most of the time. C.R. said that if he grows up to be an unhappy adult he doesn't know what we could have done differently because I make him laugh all the time.

Maximus said his first word!

Maximus said his first word last night! I was able to catch it on video today but it isn't the greatest video so I will try and get another one later on. He says MAMA!!! Yea I am so excited!

Trip to Kentucky

Maximus and I traveled to Kentucky this past weekend to visit with the family and let daddy study. He has a big test this coming weekend, so we let him have a little piece and quiet. We had a good time, unfortunately, mamaw and papaw were unable to come down, but we are hoping to go see them soon. Maximus is still not crawling but he can get wherever he wants to go by rolling there. I had to stop using his playmate because I could not keep him on it, now I just put a large comforter on the floor for him to roll around on.

First Bath in the big tub

Maximus had his first bath in the big bath tub this past week. Mommy got a little bubble happy. He kept using the cup in his hand to scoop up the bubbles and eat them. All the while saying mmmmmmm!

First Trip to the Zoo

Last week meemaw and myself took max to the zoo for the first but definately not the last time. While we were there we bought a season pass so that we can return throughout the year. It was very cold but we had a good time and got some good exercise.

First Blog!!

Hey everyone!! I would like to thank Gio and Jess for the great idea of how to keep our extended family and friends up on our daily activites in ohio. I will try to keep this up to date!
