We have had such a fun Christmas break! Nick was able to get the whole week off of work so we have been able to enjoy lots of fun family time. Max even got to go on his first trip to Branson! We also got to have Max's girlfriend Adria over to play one night. Of course they both pretty much slept the whole night. As you can see in this picture Max is sound asleep and Adria is yawning! Here are a few other pictures from this week!

Wow, I can't believe Christmas is over! Max had a fabulous first Christmas! He even sat in his seat and stayed awake to open all of the presents from his Grandma and Grandpa and his Auntie Em! He was a little spoiled... he got some new clothes, jammies, an activity walker, a bib, and his favorite- a new toy box!! Nick and I had a great time too! We loved being in Troy with family and loved getting to share our favorite holiday with our favorite little boy! Here are some pictures from our Christmas!

And a few more...

More pictures!

Happy Holidays everyone! Our family is currently in Troy celebrating Christmas. We are having a GREAT time but we have been very busy! Nick got off of work early on Friday and we drove up here. Saturday evening we had our Moore Family Christmas at my Aunt Heidi's brand new house in Wildwood. It is beautiful! We all had a wonderful time. Max slept through the entire event but we still made sure to include him in his present opening! He got some great gifts! Today we went to Kirksville for the Powell Family Christmas. Max was very good in the car and entertained everyone once we were there by kicking around and playing on the floor. We got back to Troy around 4 and went to Calvary for their Christmas Eve candle-lit service, one of our favorite Christmas traditions! We have eaten our hours d'vours and everyone is now camped out in the basement watching a movie. We are so excited for tomorrow- Max's first Christmas! Here are some pictures from the past few days

I can't believe Max is 10 weeks old! Max is enjoying winter and even got to go outside to see his first snow (only long enough to take this picture though!) This weekend we took Max to Mountain Grove to celebrate Christmas with the Ramsey side of the family. He got to meet his Aunt Jaime, Uncle Josh, and cousins Myles and Blake for the first time. He was pretty good during the trip but we can tell he is happy to be back in his own crib!

Max is 7 weeks old now and we have been keeping him very busy! We went to Troy to visit Katie's parents over Thanksgiving. Max was great in the car and is of course looking forward to making another trip up for Christmas. While in Troy Max got to go on his first trip to the zoo. He loved being outside and in his stroller. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving weekend!

Well, Max is now over 5 weeks old! He is getting so big and is becoming more fun every day. He rolled over for the first time on Wednesday! He is also smiling ocassionally and "playing" a lot more. Here are some recent pictures, including his first Halloween!

Max is three weeks old today! But, these are his 2 week pictures. I am having a hard time keeping up with the blog... and everything else! Max is doing great. He had a weight check today and he weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces!

Here are a few other pics from the hospital before we brought him home the first time:-(
For those of you that don't know we had to take Max back to the hospital when he was 5 days old because he was having a difficult time regulating his body temperature on his own. Thankfully we are home now and Max is doing great. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers for our little boy!

Baby Max is here! He was born 3 1/2 weeks early on October 4, 2006. He weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. Mom and baby are home and doing great! Here are some pictures!

Here our a few pictures of our almost complete nursery. We decided to go with Classic Winni the Pooh since we weren't sure if we were having a boy or a girl for awhile. Nick picked out the cute yellow color and painted it all by himself. I think it looks great and I can't wait until we can put our little guy in it!
