I'm Famous! (And Other News: Dead Fish, Kitchen Table Forts, and More) ...

Hi Friends,

How is your week going so far?

So Mommy and I were thrown for a loop this week ... we were really prepared with our blog schedule this week (we have so much to catch you up on), but after my very exciting birthday yesterday (Monday) ... we had some drama at home that evening.  (I really just wanted the Fire Department to visit our house again like they did on Christmas).

What happened?  My room start smelling like dead fish / burning rubber!  It was awful.  I had to sleep with Daddy.  Then today (Tuesday) I couldn't nap in my room (and the weather was bad so we didn't leave the house) ...which means ... I DIDN'T NAP.  AT ALL.  That was fun.

It was so much fun that Mommy and I built our first Kitchen Table Fort together ... I think she was trying to trick me to sleep in it, but it didn't work!  Needless to say ... Mommy and I didn't get to all of our blogs (let alone laundry and other things) today (Tuesday).

But here is a photo from our Kitchen Table Fort fun:

We have lots to catch you up on about our birthday (including Part I of my WILD RUMPUS birthday celebration).

But what did I get to do yesterday (Monday) for my birthday? ...

Mommy and I went with Gramby and Sissy to ... the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see the DINOs!  (Thanks for the dino and dino book, Gramby).  We also went to have lunch Downtown at Niko Nikos, and Daddy and Pops met us there!  Finally, we went to Target to get more prizes ... went home to open more presents and eat cake.  Whew.  What a wonderful day!  Photos to come soon.

AND ... I'm famous.  Again!  Right before I turned 1, I was in the New York Times (I don't know that I can top that).  And yesterday (Monday), my 2nd Birthday Card for Chica was picked and shown on Sprout TV!  Thank you to Mommy and Gramby for helping me make such a wonderful card.

Here are two photos of my card (from my Mommy's iPhone) before we sent it off!):

What does the note say?

Happy Happy Birthday 2 You!  Happy 2nd Birthday Max!  We love you Super Mad Max.  You are the best son, big brother, and grandson.  We love to learn from you and laugh with you each day.  You're our little goof!  We are excited to watch you SPROUT!
