Christmas Update: 3 Bottles of Scotch Later ...

I have much to update you on!  Holiday Break ... Three Christmas celebrations ... my two front teeth ... and more!

I will give you a sneak peek ...

Christmas morning at home.  Radio Flyer Super Wagon.  Need I say more?

Ball.  One of my favorite gifts!  And check out my lovely Pottery Barn Kids stocking.

I look concerned.  I WAS concerned.  Hey ... hey guys!  I think we forgot some of my gifts over here.  (Christmas at Gma and Gpa A's (Gramby and Pops)).

Watch out, Blake Griffin!  Thank you for the Little Tikes Sports Center, Auntie Tam and Uncle Michael!

Here I am with Daddy at Gma and Gpa J's.  I'd say something witty here, but I think my Scotch is making me tired.

Mommy tried to get a photo of Mad Max and the Cousins.  Much of the photos looked like this.  Wow.

How are your holidays going?  I'll share more soon!

Double Trouble

Enjoy a few photos of me with Cousin Ribear from last week ...

Sure I would look at the scary ducks that you are pointing at.  But.  I.  Can't.  See.  Them.

No words.  Mommy!  Mommy!  Look at this pink bib Gma J aka Mimi has me in!

If we stay very, very quiet ... we may blend in with the couch and the adults may not see us!  Right, Grampi?

More soon!

-Mad Max

And we are cousins ...

So Mommy and I realized that our "Mad for Mommy" blog was actually suppose to be created Thursday nights.  Wow.  We are lucky we even know what day it is lately.

But do please cut us some slack... we've been so under the weather that I had to visit the doc today.  More on that soon.

In the meantime, enjoy some shots of Trouble 1 and 2.  Ribear got a red wagon for her F1RST Birthday.  Happy Birthday Ribear!  Mommy said I am going to get one for Christmas.  Wow.  Mommy, you are great with surprises!

I think we need to pimp it out.  Thoughts?

We are going to so fast my hair is blowing in the wind!

Beverage holder without a beverage.  Fail.

Do you have a Radio Flyer?  Or did you have one when you were younger?

Weekend Update: Melting, Riding, and Climbing (Part II)

Happy Birthday, Cousin Ribear!  Cheer up, kiddo!

Train Wreck Mommy and I apologize for being behind on the blogs this week.  Mommy is still feeling under the weather, and I had a fever last night.  Not to mention the piles of work Mommy keeps mentioning.

But last weekend we went to the Houston Zoo to celebrate Cousin Ribear's F1RST Birthday!

Cousin Corryn.  Slightly upset.  See, she is related to Mommy!  Hah!

Gma J aka Mimi got a double stroller.  I'll let Birthday Ribear lead this time.  Wow, let's see where that leads us!

Aren't we quite the pair?

It's only about 1,000 degrees outside, guys.  Let's see how much longer we can melt!  Zoom in, Mommy.

Me, Mad Max ... in all of my glory.

My F1RST carousel ride!  Whee!  All by myself.  Let's teach Daddy the "zoom" button, Mommy.

Daddy!  Daddy!  Look behind you!  A real live Sophie or Patches.

I am having a dreadful feeling that this is going to end up on Awkward Family Photos.

In addition to going to the Houston Zoo last weekend, I also worked on my coffee table climbing skills.  Booyah!

Mommy!  Mommy!  Look at all those papers / projects you need to grade that have been sitting there.

Teeth?  Who needs teeth?  Max eats coffee table.

What did you do last weekend?  What are your plans for this weekend?

Makin' My Rounds

This school year I am spending some time at Gma J's (Mimi's) too.  Yesterday was my F1RST day at her house!  I'm sure Train Wreck Mommy cried more than I did.

Here I am above lookin' like Daddy (don't you think?) and beggin' for food like Mommy.  (Love you, Mommy!)

Hey, Sophie ... let me chew on your best leg and show you all the toys at Mimi's house.

And we are cousins ... hey kid, check out that creature behind me with the big eyes.  No, not your sister ... the other one.  Thoughts on it?  Should we let it stay?

And how is your week going?  How do you make yourself feel comfortable in new places?  Emotionally eating?  Chewing on your favorite giraffe?

-Mad Max

Happy Birthday Grampi

This past Sunday we went to visit Gma and Gpa J for Grampi's Birthday.  Happy Birthday!

Apparently feeding me a bottle is a modeling affair ... do I take photos when you eat, Mommy?

Let's focus people, focus.

I also had a small photo shoot with the cousins (Corryn and Ri-Bear) ... aka Mom took about 1,000 photos and Ri-Bear decided to show off her gymnastic skills.

Hey ... to the right of me, leg down, kid.

Nice modeling face, Corryn.

Wow, Mom.  What are we eating lately?  Look at my cheeks!

Hand down, Gus.  Hand down.  Love yah ladies!  Until next time ...

How do you like to spend family birthdays?  Do you have any awkward photos with cousins (inappropriately holding their legs in the air)?

Fans ... don't forget to COMMENT and click FOLLOW on my blog!  Mad Max loves yah.  And Mad Max loves other blog recommendations.

Highlight of my 4 Month Bday: Eating My Hand

Mad Max here ... I've been so busy trying to keep Train Wreck Mommy afloat at YES Prep.  Keep swimming, Mommy!  Only four more weeks ...

I have a great posting to come back to ... my 4 Month Birthday was today.  And my brother, the feline ... (Hermann) - it was his 3 year old Birthday, and Auntie Eek - Happy Birthday to you!

Train Wreck Mommy LOVES to take 10.5 billion photos of me on my birthday.  Here are .0000000001 percent of those.  A few highlights ... and thank you to Super Daddy for taking care of me while TW Mommy went to the YES Prep Fine Arts Show.  And thank you to Gma and Gpa J ... and Cousin Corryn and Ri-Bear for visiting me on my Bday.  Way to show off your rolling skills, Ri.  I'm watching you!

Hoodie (Hoodie Bear) and I ... early morning work out.

Half smile for my Mommy ...

I'm so serious.  Aren't I, Mommy?

I love chewing on my hand lately.  Mom loves taking photos of me in my Super Rocker.

Ball.  Hey, you.

Each month on my birthday Mommy takes 1,000 photos of me in Daddy's running shirt.  Mommy ... the more photos you take doesn't make the shirt fit better.  Meanwhile, I like to entertain myself with my feet.

Oh, yes ... and thank you also goes out to my family for my wonderful 4 month gifts.  A Bumbo Seat and Tray ... toys that make noise, and more!  Now I must rest up for Mommy's big day tomorrow - her FIRST Mother's Day.  I love you, Mommy!

Hoppy Easter: Part II

Have you seen my social calendar lately?  Me either ... it's buried under all of my events!

Easter Sunday with Train Wreck Mommy and Daddy was great though ... very eventful from my first church experience and Easter Sunday Service at St. Luke's ("Auntie" Alicen's church).  I accidently fell asleep, but instead of getting in trouble ... grown-ups found it amazing and "cute."  Odd, I say.

Here are a few snapshots outside of church:

Wow, nothing like munching on your hand for a portrait.

Mommy ... Mommy, I think it's time we get a spray tan, no?  Here we are with "Auntie" Alicen.

After church we headed to spend quality time with Gma and Gpa A ... and then Gma and Gpa J (and of course Auntie Dana and Cousins Corryn and Ri!).  They love them some Mad Max time on Easter!

At Gma and Gpa As:

At Gma and Gpa Js:

Thank you for all of the Easter celebrations, cheer, and gifts!  Mad Max loves you (despite my tears and my sometimes crab apple attitude!).  And thanks to Gma and Gpa A for my Easter Sunday outfit (found at Macy's).

Happy Birthday to Grandma Johnson!

This past weekend we went to visit Gma and Gpa J's house for the first time to celebrate Gma J's birthday. Happy Birthday!

Hey, lurker alert!

We also went out to lunch for her birthday (and I got to see Auntie Dana and Cousin Ri).  Hey Daddy, where's our vegan meal?  Daddy, do you think we have the same profile?

Hey, TW Mommy ...do you think we both need spray tans?  I know Daddy does, hehe.  And is it just me, or are these overalls too big?

Happy Birthday, Gma Johnson!  I hope you enjoyed your Sprinkles cupcakes!  I know Mommy and I enjoyed ours!  See you soon.  Love you.

-Mad Max

The Johnsons and Cous Ri

A few photos from a recent visit this week ...

Come again soon!  I hope you bring that dino scream, Ri!  Wow.
