Tuesday's Tots and Wee Ones: Boy or Girl?

Hi Family, Friends, and Fans,
So as you know based on our news yesterday (Max's Big News!), we are focused on a very Tiny One now.  Mommy is housing a new Super Fetus in my ol' house ... my little brother or sister!

So what do you think?  Do you think Sesame is a boy?  Or a girl?  Do I have a little brother to look forward to?  Or a little sister?  Either way ... I'm going to teach Sesame how to play in dirt, and I am going to do my monkey for him / her!  (Mommy started this tradition long ago for Auntie Tam).

We actually find out THIS FRIDAY if Sesame is a boy or girl (if all goes well).  But you may have to stay tuned a bit longer ...

Are you ready for the first sneak peek of Sesame?  (The best little bro or sis around!)

Now this is a photo of a photo, and I'm not sure why it won't rotate the correct way (Train Wreck Mommy), but I think you get the idea.  And do you see Tiny Sesame?  Sesame was about the size of a  Blueberry during this time.
Sesame's Current Stats:

Age: 17 Weeks and Counting

Weight: Approx. 5 Ounces

Height: Approx. 5 Inches

Fruit / Veggie Size: About the size of an onion (may smell like one too...)

Fun Facts: Sesame's super skeleton is turning to bone.  Sesame can move his / her joints, and sweat glands are starting to develop.  Much needed in this Tejas heat, Sesame!

What does Sesame enjoy most right now?  Moving in Mommy's belly (she's starting to feel it), kisses for Big Brother Max, and evening reading time with Mommy and Mad Max.  Oh, and Mommy says "Chocolate Ice Cream!"

So a few other things today ...

Happy Launch Party Day to Auntie Tam!  We love you, and we wish we were there!  We can't wait to hear about it.

Also if you are gearing up for Memorial Day weekend be sure to read our Chron Blog: Mad About Town.

Mad for Monday (Max's Weekend Update): Max's Big News!

Hi Friends, Family, and Fans,

How was your weekend?  Was yours as eventful as ours?  Please do share!

As some of you may know, Mommy and I shared our big family news this weekend (and put it on Facebook ... which of course makes it official and real).  By the way, have you been to my page on Facebook, if not check it out: Mad Max and Family.

And drum roll please ...

Yep, that is right.  Mommy is growing a Super Fetus set to arrive on or around 10.27.12!  Is it a boy?!  Is it a girl?!  Stay tuned to find out.

How do you like my Super Hero "Big Brother Maximino" shirt?  A big thanks to flyduds (via Etsy) for the awesome Big Bro shirt.  Mommy is going to buy my Little (Brother or Sister) a shirt too.

So his / her name is Sesame right now.  Remember how my name was Blue?  Well, Mommy started calling him / her Sesame when it was just the size of a sesame seed.  Stay tuned!  We have much more to share about Sesame.

So now I am finally able to explain why Mommy has been well ... far beyond a Train Wreck.  Her Train Wreckness hit the extreme in March and is still going strong.  My Hero Daddy and I are able to hold down the fort while Mommy is either in the bathroom getting sick or moaning on the couch with the energy of a 90 year old.  That's okay, Mommy.  We love you!

A few more photos of me, Big Brother Max:

And a few big weekend BIRTHDAY shout outs before we go: Happy Birthday to Auntie Tam!  I love you!  I miss you too.  And Happy Birthday to Mommy's friends Jens and Stephanie!  We hope you had a good one.

So how was your weekend?  Any big news to share?

Mad for Monday (Max's Weekend Update): Mother's Day

Hi Family, Friends, and Fans,

How was your Mother's Day Weekend?  I had a busy weekend and a blast with the Train Wrecks.

On Saturday we went to the 25th Annual Art Car Parade.  It was a blast (until Mommy and I started melting in the heat)!  We ended up staying for most of the parade though, and My Hero Daddy treated us to some Whole Foods afterwards.

Here I am with Dada waiting for the parade to start.

One of my favorite Art Cars (and foods!).

I think this Art Car is following the yummy banana.

This was one of my favorites too: Art Car Radio Flyer Wagon!

On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with the best Mom of all, Train Wreck Mommy!  On Sunday morning I gave her our card and special surprise (see: no clothes in the morning!).

We also went to visit the best Grandmas of all: Mimi and Gramby!

I love y'all!  I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day with Mad Max.
