Max is 4!

Our crazy boy turned 4 in February! He is 38.75" tall (16%), weighs 32.50 lbs (18%). His Blood pressure is 94/68. Heart Rate: 100. BMI: 15.21 (35%). Who knew they did all that.

Selfie. They checked his hearing and vision and he is doing great. Max was excited because no shots until they are 5.

He is such a great big brother and Little miss. Coco just adores and copies everything he does.

Crime partners. Max is busy learning his letters and was finishing up his school year (ended in May). 

Fun with daddy. More pics to come in another catchup post. 

Max Plays T-Ball Fall 2015

We decided it was time for an extra curricular activity for Max! We asked if he wanted to try soccer or t-ball and he chose t-ball. His buddy Chase was already signed up and his mommy told me they were looking for a second coach and more players. David was reluctant as we all know how much he loves sports, but with Chris as his head coach he was ready to take on the co-coach role! It was a long season due to rain rescheduled games, but this league was nice as the practices were on game days, no extra during the week practices. It was Saturday mornings at 8:45/9am-10am. I'm not sure Max is a big fan at the end as he was always frustrated the other kids would get the ball faster than him. He enjoyed hitting the ball and running the bases though. 

Coach Chris in action. 

I was afraid I never caught a photo of him getting the ball and look at that, I got one! I think this was only 1 of 2 he went for :)

Baseball ready! 

Batter Up! 

Off he goes! 

Doesn't he look cute in his oversized shirt and helmet!

The cheering section! Snacks are a MUST for Coco bean. 

And Hadley! 

Caught Andrew playing with a barbie (you're welcome Windy). 

Max's buddy Chase up to bat! 

Go Chase Go!

Love this action shot. 

Nice face Max. 

Good Game. 

Let's be honest. Max was in it for the after game snack! 

All his teammates. 

Andrew helping his daddy coach. 

 The coaches and the boys! 

 I was nervous the coaches weren't prepared for the first game so I was giving them a run down briefing before the game! It was so warm back when we started!

 Coco was really a good girl and rarely tried to get on the field. She played with Andrew and ate a majority of the games.

So cute these 2! The second sibling life! 

 The last game was halloween and all the boys dressed as super heroes. We were missing a bunch of them, but they got their trophies and were excited!

Fun times, but Coach David is looking forward to not reporting to the field every Saturday morning! Will Max be a t-ball/baseball player... only time will tell!

Max's Latest Happenings

Max has been a busy boy these last few months so I thought I'd do a recap. He is a little over 3 years and 2 months old just for reference.

Spring break was a few weeks ago and Max was lucky enough to be asked to join his best buddy Chase and his parents for a Lego Land adventure!

This was our first time letting anyone take Max on an outing without us! I was a little nervous he wouldn't want to go with them since he can be shy, but he took to it right away! Max and Chase above.

I love how chill Andrew looks here. Always going with the flow as 2nd siblings have to do.

Windy did say that they have a separate area for 2-5 year olds so they stayed in that part.

Max couldn't stop talking about the tower he and Chase built.

Love their teamwork although it looks like Max is bossing orders to Chase. He takes his tower building seriously.

Later that same spring break week Windy and Chris picked up Max again and took him to the playground! I guess I should mention that Chris is a HS teacher and Windy took the week off.

Max is always interested in having a snack so they took a break. I love that Windy sent me all these pics as they were happening so I could live vicariously through her while I was stuck at work.

They look like they enjoyed themselves immensely!

Caught! I always tell him not to climb the slide.

Here are some other photos from the past few months. I also wanted to jot down some silly things he says so I don't forget them.

Build and grow monster truck building with Chase.

Max also got to go to the safety expo with David for his work on St. Patricks day. He loved riding the train and hanging out with cousin Ian.

Mommy, Max porch weather selfie.

 

Me- "Max, you can stay for a few minutes."

Max- "No, I'm going to stay for a lotta minutes."

Max has is almost done with his refresher course swim lessons and has done a great job! He is definitely pool ready!

Max bit his tongue a little while ago and it looked like a small piece came off.
Max- "I can't find it anywhere. I need a flash light. Maybe I can find it in the morning and then I'll tape it back on. Or glue it." Hey it was better than the alternative of him thinking he ate it. 

His response to me asking him to pick up his toys. Max- "I pick up toys at school, I don't want to at home."

He is very into ninja turtles, weapons, shields or anything to fight with.

Max- "Where are you? I'm pooping" He likes an audience while he goes to the bathroom. He usually wants us to make funny faces or do magic tricks (I guess David does that with him).

Max- "You can't go feed the baby because Daddy isn't watching me" haha isn't that the truth Max. Thanks for telling me :)

We had a picnic lunch at his school for the Easter egg hunt and he loved having me there.

Sometimes I facetime with Max after swim lessons or something exciting happens while I am at work. I love it.

Cuddle time.

He is so great at the dentist now. He knows what he comes away with (new tooth brush, balloon and special toy). He recently lost a bouncy ball he got there last time so he knew exactly what he wanted to get. Eye on the prize!

My little ninja turtle!

The first thing he says when he sees Noah outside is "Noah, get the weapons." We recently purchased his own shell and weapons as a reward for finishing swim lessons so great. Now he doesn't have to bother Noah and can play with his cousin and friends.
