TGIF!

Tonight Max said "PLEASE can I hang out with Jack tonight? I promise I'll be home by curfew!"

Sorry buddy, you still need some adult supervision. God only knows the trouble that you and Jack could get into in this town!

Max and Jack were a little embarrassed that they had to be seen on a Friday night with their folks, but Mom, Dad, and Sus had a great time over some frozen yogurt....while the boys just chilled...
Who knew that the frozen yogurt place was where all the cool kids hang? We met 11 week old Zack (who had to be driven there by HIS parents too), and all 3 boys almost threw punches over the cute little 4 month old girl who's chaperon wouldn't leave her side! It was a baby party!

Then Comes The Baby in The Baby Carriage!

MAX IS 2 MONTHS OLD TODAY! Just like last month (take a look at the 6/29 post), we took a picture of Max in his brown chair so that we can see how much he's grown! (Can you tell we love this outfit from Nana and Jeanette? He's been wearing it alot recently for photo ops!)
Max has changed so much! He can hold his head up now for quite a while, and then it bobbles or falls down a bit when he gets tired. He loves to kick his arms and legs, and babbles and talks to us all the time. He has learned to blow raspberries, and even makes the "motorboat" sound. His smile is just adorable, and it's getting bigger and bigger every day! He has also started to use his arms to "hold us" even more, and getting those little hugs just makes us melt. His facial expressions are hysterical, and he seems to be responding to our voices and our faces so much more now. His little personality just keeps growing and growing....
And so does his body! Yesterday he weighed in at 10 lbs 13 oz!!
In honor of his 2 month birthday, Max decided to take real naps today! He had an hour and a half morning nap (in my arms, of course....but I couldn't complain!) Then after his afternoon bottle I put him in his seat so that I could pack up the diaper bag and we could go run some errands. I turned around, and this is what I found:
He had fallen asleep completely on his own! Just like a big 2 month old boy! Afternoon naps!!!! Without being driven around in the car, or wheeled around in the stroller! YES!!! Who knows if it will ever happen again, but for now....we'll take it!

Here's one more picture of our little big shot, wearing an adorable outfit from Pop-Pop and Pauline!
Happy 2 months little guy! We can't wait to see what next month will bring!!

First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage...

Two years ago today, Sean and I were married in a gorgeous ceremony at the Carneros Inn in Napa. We were so blessed to have our friends and family with us, and we had so much fun at the party of a lifetime.

Take a trip down memory lane with us (but be sure to read the directions below first!).....

1. Towards the bottom of your screen you'll see "Same Day Edits". Click on it.
2. At the end of the list on the left hand side you'll see our names. Except it says "Kim and Shawn". Well, it might not for long, because Kerrin reads this blog and I'm sure she'll have Alex change it to "Sean" shortly ;) Either way, that's us. Click on us, and you'll see why I don't need any more words.....Lumitone's beautiful video says what words simply can't.

Sean and I are blessed beyond belief. Blessed to have each other, blessed to have the support of such wonderful families and friends, and blessed to have our beautiful little guy Max. Thank you all so much for walking this wonderful road with us!

Baking Madness!

Cousins Alec and Shelby helped us to get ready to celebrate Max's two month birthday by baking LOTS of cupcakes! First they helped Uncle Sean to mix, measure, and pour the batter. Then they helped Aunt Kim to frost and decorate them with sprinkles....I mean, jimmies. I hear that's what they call them in Jersey!
Don't worry Max, your cousins will eat your celebratory cupcake for you!

Gratuitous Kid Pics

Why? Because he's adorable!

Max loves his new outfit from Aunt Jeanette, Nana, and his cousins....so he wanted to show it off to all of you!














The 'Rents

Sorry peeps....I can't play today. I have to hang out with my folks...


New Jersey Comes to California!

Look who came to visit us, and to meet Max for the very first time!

Cousin Shelby learned how to hold Max very gently. Nana was great at rocking her newest grandson to sleep....
Cousin Alec hung out with Max on the playmat...
Shelby showed Max some of the new toys that Baubee sent.... She was a great helper when Uncle Sean needed a hand feeding Max...
